I’m going to take all the sacrifices my parents made to help ensure I have a successful life.

I’m going to have no problem getting a great job with, or without education.

I’m going to get into the housing market on a basic salary no problem.

I’m going to bring kids into this world, and make sure they earn their own way.

I’m going to shame them into leaving home as early as possible, make them rent for most of their life and wonder why they don’t buy a house so they can make money on their investments.

Oh, by the way, i’ll make a ton more money on other peoples kids paying my second, third investment properties mortgage off with their rent.

Then i’ll live a glorious retirement, fully aware that my kids retirement is probably not going to happen ever.

You can trust them, because they aren’t bound by the same chains as the mainstream media. That is where I get all my best news from. /s

David Pecker, former publisher of the National Enquirer, testified at Donald Trump’s hush money trial Tuesday about the “catch and kill” agreements between the former president and the tabloid, detailing arrangements involving Trump’s former doorman and an ex-Playboy model.

So it is actually kind of interesting that they’d be talking about this at all.

I’m not speaking from experience with the firefighters side here, but I do think it come’s down to the ick factor of smell is so much stronger than the yum factor.
Smell is how we know if something is safe to eat, so if its off even a bit, that jumps to the peak of our attention.

Usually if you burn something a little bit, that’s the only smell you notice.

Your point is still valid, but it’s not an increase/decrease thing.

Im pretty sure Net Approval means percent that approve minus percent that disapprove.

Some cats are all 4 in 1.

Statistically speaking, employers don’t.

This is why the UAW are asking for 40% raise, because that would bring their pay back in line with what they were making in 2008 in terms of inflation.

Virtually no one is going to give up extra time of their live to abuse this unless they have been convinced you are worthy of the abuse.

Then it’s personal.

So my question is if thats your default stance, how much do you abuse your staff? And call it fair because its what everyone is used to?

Or the third option, changing to a better employer.

Since everyone seems to think no one wants to work anymore, maybe theres a lot more better options out than than the shitty employers realize.

Sounds like a simple choice. Moving house to be closer to where jobs are is getting more and more expensive.

So that leaves moving jobs.

I wonder why so many employers are complaining ’No one wants to work’.

Easy to dump the burden of the commute on the staff as the cost of living close to city centres keeps climbing way faster than you’re raising their pay.

Times change, and the old standards don’t make sense anymore.

You want me to give up 10 hours of my day to get paid for 8 hours of work? No thanks.

Sitting in traffic still keeps me from living my life. I’ve got a limited amount of time, so Im not giving it up cheaply.

Remote work where possible is the best option for both parties. If only employers could believe it.
