I gather from reading pages about ADA and HIPAA compliance that this trick is common as hell I talked to my boss this morning; as expected she was sympathetic and unable to do anything except forward my concern on as an "employee retention concern" which i guess is the best i'm gonna get. She also encouraged me, anxiety allowing, to talk to HR about it i still also want to go grieve at HR directly (i haven't complained yet to anyone besides my direct report) but despite by boss' assurances I remain concerned that not only would this do nothing as I already expect, but would get me capital n Noticed, so anxious and annoyed I currently remain Ciaphas fucked around with this message at 19:30 on Sep 4, 2019 |

by the way that 30% incentive/penalty comes directly from laws related to ADA and HIPAA compliance, but the 30% governor was revoked in January of this year, so soon companies can use whatever percentage they want~

it's complicated but it's not like you can roll into a gun show here and take home a pistol with no background check we have three classifications of weapons - prohibited (really hard to get), restricted (hard to get), and non-restricted (easier to get) non-restricted is standard shotguns and rifles used for hunting. you have to pass a background check and get a license to own them or buy them. also you need a license to purchase ammo too. these don't have to be registered with the government (currently). prohibited is the crazy poo poo you can't even buy anymore but if you had it in the 90s you can keep it. fully automatic weapons, converted semi-automatics, sawed off guns, and some pistols (usually automatic stuff). you have to register these. restricted would be everything else. you also have to register these. concealed carry is basically not legal here, open carry is subject to restrictions depending on the tier and your job (ie cops, armored car personnel, etc) other stuff - if you don't report stolen firearms you can end up in prison for up to 5 years qirex posted:last I'd heard about vancouver salaries was they are roughly ~30% less than california pay but in canadian dollars so about half net in a place that's like 10% cheaper to live in than sf our salaries are pretty lovely yeah. vancouver is definitely the worst, you can actually make more $$$ in toronto for cheaper COL fwiw but avg senior dev in Toronto is making 120k base. take home on that would be roughly 84k per year

for context if you moved to Toronto now and were taking home that 84k you'd probably be spending minimum 2k per month on a 1BR condo, unless you want to rent a leaky basement apartment instead edit: also when i say "avg" i mean avg new salary. some sr workers are still taking home a lot less than that because they haven't been job hopping and/or demanding more Cold on a Cob fucked around with this message at 22:13 on Sep 4, 2019 |

I just did the first interview I've done in 5 years. I got flustered, forgot half my poo poo and feel stupid as gently caress right now. The interviewers said I did okay and they took me around the office afterwards, which is probably a good sign? Still need a drink real bad right now tho.

that's the exact reason i've scheduled my first interview that will involve a live coding exercise with a company I actually don't really want to work for word is they pay lovely but expect FAANG level candidates AND they're in the suburbs so not too keen doesn't help i had to take 5 months off work due to health issues and i've apparently forgotten how to type lol

Tbh I think that if financials are your only concern, you're still better off working in America. The salary differential is large enough that even if you're paying twice in rent and a whole lot more for health, you're probably still saving a fuckton more money at the end of the money.
