I remeber when the cards against humanity guys wanted to give their factory workers In China a week paid vacation but they had to negotiate with the owner because they literally had no procedure in place to Give employees paid time off.

The Skeleton King posted:I hope the super rich do go to Mars. I want them to experience firsthand what it’s like to live in a place with extreme resource limitations in which capitalism is utterly impossible. A place where there is nowhere to run or hide when things get uncomfortable for them. Mars isn't for the rich. Mars sucks...there aint poo poo there, there's no Broadway theater, no cocaine, no heated swimming pools. Mars is for us, when the super rich send a billion poors off to Mars to mine for resources they'll stave off climate change for a few decades and buy themselves some more time on earth.

Taintrunner posted:I just paid 2700 this month for renting a three bedroom with my wife in the far east side of Queens When my sister lived in Manhattan she paid about this much for a 1 bedroom apartment (adjusting for 2018 dollars). The suburbs are a cancer for many reasons...but it's hard to blame people for living there because my mortgage on my 5 bedroom house is less than what you're paying for an apartment.

Darth Walrus posted:I think most of the viewers are other children. When they're not watching poorly-made Korean CG clips of Elsa eating Spider-Man's fingers, anyway. this is correct and i know that because my son loves that poo poo and we've had to really clamp down on what he can watch on YouTube. Sometimes he randomly blurts out "thanks for watching this video! please like and subscribe, the button right there!" and then mimes pointing to an imaginary button below him. I know it sounds weird to watch other kids open toys, but it's not any weirder than watching grown adults buying appliances on HGTV or Fortnite streamers.

ChipNDip posted:2 weeks per year of service is typical in buy-outs, so only the old timers are getting that much. If there's any of them still around, it's like wining a mini-lottery if they were planning on retiring anyway. Lots of big companies have older workers that hold off on retirement and do the bare minimum to try and get a package. I get 1 week per year at my current job if for some reason I got kicked out tomorrow. So given that Verizon was really trying to buy out as many people as possible they were probably being pretty generous.

The fact that Netflix was able to have a library of every DVD ever made was probably the biggest kick in the balls to blockbuster. Blockbuster always had these giant shelves set up with several inches of white space in between each title and they could have fit like 10 times as much content if they had organized it better. (Of course then they'd have to pay for and manage it for each store, instead of a centralized warehouse) The no late fees and the convenience of sifting through a library online instead of driving to a store was icing on the cake. They also had competition eventually from GameFly hitting them on video games. I rented secret of mana like 4 weekends in a row and some douche would always delete the save files before I could finish it. I understand this was a problem fixed by memory cards and later, attachable hard drives but it's pretty loving infuriating when your 12 years old and only have the weekend to SNES binge.

EvilJoven posted:I'm gonna be 40 in less than a year and own a house. I still feel like a child faking it. For the first 6 months after my son was born I felt like any minute a real person was gonna show up at my house in a Benz and tailored suit and say "thanks for watching this baby for me while I was away for business. I'll take him off your hands and you can get back to playing with your magic cardboard game with pictures of dragons and wizards on it". That didn't happen and he's 4 years old now so it's become evident I'm on my own.

When I was a busboy all the servers tipped out to the managwr and a slice would go to me, the dishwasher, bartender, hostess etc in our checks at the end of the week. but there was no way of knowing if what I was getting every week was even close to accurate so at some point I assumed the boss just skimming off the top and that’s how he industry works. Also when your 16 and get your paycheck your thought process is “holy poo poo $119!?! He’ll yea It’s party time bitches!”

Antioch posted:I modified the door access code on an old network closet so that I am the only one with access. I have a pillow and a blanket in there, and I try to sneak off for a 15-20 minute nap around 10 and again at 2. hey nap buddy. i got a similar setup at my office. I'll pretend I'm leaving for lunch, then sneak down in the basement and use my lunch hour for a nap. It's a lifesaver especially if you have an infant at home.

Local Weather posted:I miss stealing stuff from my job. My current job has nothing good to take, I haven't stolen anything good in like 5 years now. When I worked retail I got so much free stuff. Of course the pay is better outside of retail but no free stuff. my bestie used to be an assistant manager at Gamestop for years and they fired him over $100 worth of stolen merchandise. wait let me rephrase, they fired him because one of the drones working under him stole $100 worth of merchandise and my friend apparently didn't use his batman detective powers to find out and stop him.

There's usually some form of free food though so at least it isn't a complete waste of time At my sisters baby shower all the women stayed at the house while my brother-in-law took all the men out for pizza. I felt that was a good solution.

It feels like some kind of sneaky implied PR hedge, to paint a picture of "oh they're not an employee of us they're an associate of ours" What’s worse...being an associate or being a team member?

Multiple managers each day would come by and ask why I was having such a hard time selling the plans and they wouldn't have a good reply to "because every time I bought it you guys screwed me over when it came to using it" The only time I've ever bought a best buy protection plan was when my Wii controller stopped working so I bought a new one with a protection plan and the next day returned the broken one.

Len posted:I had a root canal done at Sears Dental because I was away at college and it was the closest place that took my parents insurance. That entire semester it would swell up, pop, ooze blood and who knows what else. I went back and the dentist who took an x-ray and told me it was just healing and gave me an ibuprofen script. I did not know Sears had a dental office. I’d say that’s your first problem but I used to go to sears optical for my eyes and the dr there was great. Id still be going to her except when I changed My insurance I had to go to their lovely office instead.

Spazzle posted:This isn't really right at all. The house is the collateral, and in theory is greater than 100% of it. The down payment is just a buffer in case of market downturns (the loan is less than the value of the house). This may be a dumb question (especially for someone’s who owns a home and should know) but what happens if you take a 30 year mortgage and pay for 29 years and miss only the last payment. Does the bank still repo the house and keep the entire auction proceeds? If so wouldn’t that be the ideal scenario for a bank?
