You'd think with a county it'd be a 457b but maybe they were really lazy and are just taking advantage of the IRA pipeline encouraged for small business who don't run benefit plans.

Checkd an yeah its the 457bWendigee posted:Every job I've worked that had a 401k retirement savings system also had an Roth IRA you could use instead or together? We have the california public retirement pension thing and then they offer IRAs on top of it. To put my county into perspective, our payroll/ accounting system has been an ongoing source of drama for the past few years. We were behind on some sort of state reporting before, a new auditor controller came in, things got more behind, payroll got moved around 2 or 3 different departments, including an outside consultant, and now we're so far behind that programs depending on grants disbursed from the county are barely hanging on, and our payroll was so messed up we got paid late a few pay periods ago. Multiple employees identities were stolen in some sort of phishing scam and they had their direct deposits rerouted to the wrong accounts. One of my coworkers (who was extra help and was just laid off) had her past 3 paychecks late/screwed up. Aside from this fuckery its still better then my last job, where I worked for a different local govt that was somehow even more fucky

Wendigee posted:Every job I've worked that had a 401k retirement savings system also had an Roth IRA you could use instead or together? A Roth IRA is also individual retirement account (that's what it stands for) not tied to an employer. Some employers that offer a (traditional) 401(k) plan may also offer Roth 401(k) contributions as part of that plan. It's becoming more common. But it is the same account and it's a 401(k), not any kind of IRA.

My work offers a 401k, a 457b, an IRA, and a Roth IRA all within their retirement system and you can pick and choose which you want to invest your money in. They don’t offer a Roth 401k which I wish they did because all my money would go into it.

It would regularly reach 40c/104f indoors, which is not conducive for learning. In winter last year, it was finally repaired. Sabotage admin's air-con, obviously. They'll need to bring in a technician to fix it and they can do yours at the same time. If they don't it might immediately get broken again.

If you're talking a SIMPLE IRA that's a different thing. If you're talking a regular trad IRA or roth IRA you really shouldn't use whatever schmuck from Edward Jones talked them into this and instead open your own completely independently from work, because these are not employer sponsored plans.

Why not? They allow you to invest in whatever you want in them. Or if you are risk averse you can just choose the bundled small cap/large cap/retirement dates/common 401k options. Edit: I have to point out that these are actually traditional and Roth IRAs. Not simple IRAs. Lord Decimus Barnacle fucked around with this message at 01:12 on Jan 20, 2022 |

Here's another set that if I hadn't experienced it in person I would swear sounds like an office urban legend... Started a SDET role at Xbox back in 2003, day one the lead took our team of 4 new hires into an unlocked office two doors down the hall from our assigned office/closet. Upon opening the door was an absolute mountain of scrapped office PCs, classic beige cases and assorted components all over the floor. Lead points to the scrap heap and says we need to assemble PCs for each of us to use. Followed by handing us a sticky note and his login for the network to grab installs of windows. He then leaves for meetings and we didn't see or hear from him for like a day and a half... I ended up being the only person able to cobble together 4 functioning PCs. Which took drat near two days trying to find parts that would work from this scrap heap. It was like some sort of trial by fire maybe. I would never have thought this would be something to happen at Microsoft... It still boggles my mind. ... Many years and jobs later, I took a new gig as a producer at a smallish 60 person games studio. The monitor I was given was like some 17" LCD from the dollar store and was locked to 1024x768... I thought it was a prank or joke since I was the new guy... Nope, looked around and all 30 developers on my floor had the same ones. Boss thought the bare minimum displays were adequate for software developers, including artists. I raised so much hell about this and the bullshit restriction about two monitors. I took every opportunity to mention this with clients, our publishers, contractors, vendors and so on until eventually the penny pinching stopped making it difficult to do our jobs, and complete work on time. Came in one day to two pallets of 21" 1080p Dell displays with a scrawled note from the boss..."shut up about it already."

My company will occasionally acquire smaller companies in the same industry, typically 2 to 20 people in size. We knew the latest acquisition (2 so far, maybe 5 people tops) was coming and they would be onboarded on 1/31. Today, on a Friday at 4:30 p.m. HR sends in a helpdesk ticket saying they are now starting this Monday, 1/24. I reply in the ticket that it's rather short notice, but I can at least create their accounts since that can be done in a few minutes. Laptops and other equipment will have to wait until next week though. On top of that, the server that houses the tool I use to create accounts (ManageEngine) is down

Chaotic Flame posted:I haven't clicked yet but... how is this a question if it's at-will It’s literally one hospital yelling “if we can’t have them, you can’t have them either” and a judge agreeing and deciding to stick a bunch of healthcare workers in limbo while these companies fight. In practice, it means that if the employees want to get paid, the judge is effectively forcing them to work at their old employer until it’s all sorted out (unless, I suppose, the new employer is willing to pay them for no work?). The argument, however comically tenuous it is, is that the better-paying hospital “poached” the employees, and that the worse-paying hospital needs them more anyway due to the urgency of care they target. Normal human beings recognize that argument as, colloquially, “bullshit,” but clearly Judge Mark McGinnis is no normal human being.

Flyball posted:The will of employees doesn't actually count within such an arrangement. I'm sure if someone tried to force the judge to work for someone he didn't want to he'd be fighting tooth and nail. E: quote:In the complaint, ThedaCare attorneys wrote that the organization found out Dec. 21 that four interventional radiology technicians had accepted offers with Ascension, and learned Dec. 29 that two nurses planned to make the same move. On Jan. 7, they learned one additional nurse planned to quit and work at Ascension. Lmao, they actually tried to negotiate back in December. The hospital told them to gently caress off, didn't do anything to retain or try to recruit replacements instead opting to force citizen employees to work. Feels like this is the bit where employers wander up to the 'actual slavery' line and give it a nudge. I hope ThedaCare and the judge get reamed through the courts, but this is hellworld so who knows. *Que hospitals contracting roving bands of 'health professional recruitment specialists' armed with nets and tranquilizer guns* Outrail fucked around with this message at 00:57 on Jan 23, 2022 |
