Eh, it's not backbreaking.. But I see what you're saying. What do all the 20 y/o non college educated kids do now? I know not all of them are in a trade school.

Makes sense. Same in my area. I wonder if this isn't all going to blow up and cause another recession soon. Seems like this shit can't be like this for long.

I'm having a laugh at the people in our company that are mad about having to come in an extra day per week. During COVID, they'd say, "Suck it up, it's your job," or, "be thankful you have a job," if we complained about all of the OT we were working. We were working 70-80 hours a week during the first few months of COVID.

Now, we're throwing it back in their faces

Honestly, I think the company is trying to push out some office workers, and making this new rule is enough to get some people to quit. This way the company doesn't have to give them any compensation when they're laid off

Fucking grocery prices are up big time too. I like to grill Ribeyes, and the price has almost doubled. Everything has gone up, but like you said, the restaurants are even crazier. $14 at a McDonalds for a skinny guy like me? Fuck that

Depends on the job. We have labor positions that pay $18, but demand a little bit of physical labor. It's hard to fill those positions.

10 years ago, people would line up for that job for less than $10/hr and the work was much, much harder. Something has definitely changed

When I started with the company in 09, people were coming in during outages and trying to outperform each other so they'd be hired on full-time. But the economy was ass back then and it was hard to find a full-time job at my age

Oh man. That subreddit was a fucking trip. I followed it for a while, and couldn't believe how the hosts would interact with them. Some absolute crazy people on that sub

Reddit 3rd party app, according to Reddit devs

I know a lot of Republicans that hate how both parties have become. We need some independents to vote for. There's a lot of us that are caught in the middle. I agree with the small govt part of traditional Republicans, and agree with a lot of what the left has. For whatever reason. All we get is some bullshit extreme from either side.

What about normal ass people that just want people to leave them the fuck alone, pay taxes, keep their roads working, and stop wasting (literally stealing) our fucking money

Send me your social security number and any other info I can use to ruin your credit, and I'll hook you up

I'm aware. I was hoping this would be more like the old Reddit... but its not unfortunately. Dumb users have made their way here as well

Does no one remember 2016-2020? The whole time people said Trumps win was a sham.

Are those people traitors too?

I'm not saying Biden's win was bullshit, but I swear no one can remember past 30 minutes ago

The CAC also said service providers should allow parents to opt out of the time limits for their children.

Bullshit headline

I see we're just gonna keep the Reddit norm of posting bullshit headlines for clicks

Not really. It's okay for some just casual internet browsing and a few apps that are made for it, and I think you can use Office on it, but I've only used it to entertain myself at work. If you had access to a laptop or PC, you can plug a USB cable into any of the flagship Samsung phones and test it out.

Itd be nice if more people used it though, so itd get more support

If you're familiar with Linux at all, there are some versions you can put on a rooted Android phone, and use it like a Linux PC. I never tried it, but I know it was a thing about 10 years ago, and I'm sure it's still being worked on

I forgot about my comment and just tried out Sync, and saw the replies..

That's great, though. This wasn't my dream job, but I kind of fell into what I wanted to do along the way. It turns out that it's very fulfilling and pays well. And I can't think of anyone that is above me that I don't like. No one has given me a reason to hate them, and I think they feel the same about me. The people that work for me like me, even though they're constantly giving me shit

I do like how this site (pretty much Reddit) acts like every employer is out to fuck them, and everyone is as miserable as they are.

It's because you can only put a few people on these jobs at a time, and you want damn good workers that do quality work. You don't want multiple crews messing with some things because it can cause confusion or things to be missed

And it wasn't promised to me, but I did make it up the ladder some, and still have places I can go up to. It's actually a really good job, pays damn good, but requires a person to put in some work.

But, it's nothing to go work a month like this, pay all your bills and have $15k extra after it's all done

It's not white collar. It's powerplants. I do work in management, but the deal when I moved up was that I still got to work in the field 50% of the time. I get burned out sitting in my office. And I definitely did not start in management, but at the very bottom

And as far as the hours.. there's only so many people you can put on some jobs, so hiring others will just have them standing around

Also, I'd say 90% of the people that work with me love their jobs. I've seen quite a few of them turn down better pay because we're pretty chill and honest about work and expectations. We keep good people around as long as possible.

Yea, it's a good job. And it's nothing about hiring more people. Some jobs can only be done by a few people, so we just go around the clock until it's fixed and bring home big paychecks

My work laptop just got replaced, and what's great is the dock that came with it. It only connects to my laptop thru a USB C. So. Now I unhook my laptop, and plug my phone into it, which uses Dex. It's like Samsung's own desktop OS. And I can use my big screens and keyboard and mouse

I also make sure my phone isn't using the network cable plugged into it and only use my own internet. I don't think it'd let me anyways

Fuck that. Our company gives us phones because they know they're secure. And we don't use them for anything but work related apps. I still make all my phone calls from my personal or office phone

I say, "We," but that's not entirely true. There are a couple of jackasses that do everything on them, but I assume the company can see it of they want to. So, fuck that
