Jesus christ this project manager I'm working with has really thin skin. He scheduled a meeting for noon because one of our guys is in another time zone.

That's because people who are actually good technically speaking can't sell themselves to save their lives, so chances are their resume look bad for whatever reason and didn't pass through the HR whore. Now you're stuck with the people who just lie through their teeth in the resume/first interview.

>>107113632
I don't understand how these companies decide to cheap out on work machines. Even here in Europe, you might see a job listing that advertises up to 80k€/year, which is quite decent in large parts of Europe, and then they have a 1000€/year device budget that covers everything including the work computer.

Just my experience but they don't want to be helped, they want to sit and do the bare minimum until they get fired. If you ask how you can help or what they want to do in the future they just say nothing. Like they're going to live at home forever. None of them are interested in starting families so they can't be motivated to do anything with their lives. There's a couple of exceptions but mostly this is my experience with them.

Even the few of them that report directly to me, they have to either do the job or not, just stop whining about it because everyone else is also suffering and if you don't want guidance or help, then don't expect me to care.

its only 4:30pm and its so dark out due to the time change. I started early since i woke up early. Gonna call quits early too, go downstairs to my bar, smoke some pot, slam some drinks back and play pool against myself while blasting glenn miller on vinyl

i had money back when i was 24. I had around 43k. The problem was that money never went up, it had reached its climax, so it has gradually gone down since then.

>>107116291
>it had reached its climax, so it has gradually gone down since then
Then it will keep going down unless something changes. Did you make more money when you were younger, or maybe you expected more pay than you get, or you got too expensive of a house?

True, I will admit it was more of let's get this working and then think of governance later. "oh we got it working" and our boss went like alright just throw it into prod if it works. Bit of a con being technical workers working under the business department. Nobody seems to know exactly how tech works here which sucks since we're just doing silo'd work and I'm just learning there's now proper procedures for these things.

>>107116320
i make more money now than when i was in my early 20s, i make the average of 65k. Car maintenance has fucked me over. A job called me which pays 80k, I think that would work best, but I have no hoped. I got a splunk cert, and going for AWS, but not sure. Life has been too depressing. Since my balance has only gone down, I can expect to soon reach $0 and not go above 10k anymore

>>107116389
not him but quiet luxury. when everything is sucking and you don't have long term goals anymore, a splurge once in a while feels nice.

btw im not in this guy's position. I'm slowly saving up but I have a cousin who makes 1.5x my income at like 120k and STILL lives paycheck to paycheck because he keeps falling for "get rich scheme of the week"

>>107116411

I can't believe I need to listen to Americans call us Europeans poor when their bank accounts are fucking empty.

Euros are poor cause they get taxed 70% of their income. Americans are poor because they spend 80k on stupid shit that they lose.

I have unlimited PTO but I've been taking a lot this quarter already so I feel bad taking more. Also there's a time sensitive issue with code that I own and I felt bad watching my coworkers scramble to understand it while I do nothing. But also I'm not being very helpful anyways today so maybe more rest would have been the move

Previously I managed to get 1/2/3/4. But that was before I found a steady relationship. Gains goblins are real. Now I can barely .5/1/1.5/2. But I'm bigger and stronger than before. Sex is greatest workout and I won't hear otherwise.

>>107116534
NTA, I was at a company that did, but the pay was not competitive. I left in less than a year because the director manager fella was not going to give me a raise. Just a hunch based on how he danced around it every time

>>107116424
a lot of people living paycheck to paycheck seem to be in that situation because they have bought a bunch of shit on debt
>"i'm living paycheck to paycheck. what am i doing wrong? btw i spend 1k a month on my car loan"
yeah dumbfuck it means you couldn't actually afford the car you bought 2 years ago but you bought it anyway. how did americans get psyopped into paying $80k+ on a car anyway.

>>107116451
have you always had mental issues or is this new? you are not doing yourself or your boss a favor by doing things this way.
IMO you need to talk to a psychiatrist. in my country I could get a medical leave with that. but considering that american workers are slaves, I guess you are totally fucked...

Unlimited PTO is just a ploy to get people to use less PTO. If you give them 30 days, they feel obliged to use all 30. If you give them unlimited, you get them to use less.

This is correct for sure, PTO is priced in your salary, I have seen more positions with high salary without PTO than with.

I wish I could be a piece of shit, not care about anything, and delegate my problems to others in blissful ignorance.

mostly when i do my window shopping it's either consumables or stuff i genuinely dont need or have space for or both like bench vises and press brakes and shit. though when you said "hardware/parts" i thought oyu meant like big boxes of screws or trying to get replacement non-consumable parts from manufacturers
