I gave my boss a month's notice, which is unheard of in the service industry, and he decided that I'm not going to be on the schedule anymore after a week and a half because I called in sick one day. The money would have been nice to be able to hold out longer until I secured a new job, but  I'm in the process of being hired as the garage's pinche for a luxury-ish car dealership, despite having 0 training or work experience. It's gonna suck, but at least the schedule won't be released 16 hours before I'm scheduled to work. And if someone customer is hosed up, I can call the cops on them instead of having to babysit them while they sober up

Suburban Dad posted:Why would you do them a favor? Nobody gives a poo poo about loyalty anymore unfortunately. Because I was friends with both of my managers, we hung out outside of work and I went to one of their houses. I mistakenly trusted that since I was doing right by them, they'd do right by me. Lesson learned Geoj posted:If you haven't already, file for unemployment. I may as well. Does the application process still go through during the shutdown? My FAFSA application got stalled

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:Doesnt matter. Even then the courts were ruling NDA's of that length were not enforceable. 6 months was about the most they could get away with. Much like EULA's, a lot of the things in these contracts are unenforceable and sometimes illegal, but they're there to scare people into accepting anything the contract says. Lawyers are expensive and most people don't understand their rights

Don Dongington posted:Man there are a lot of people on the internet who would never be able to afford one (or the last one) complaining that the new supra doesn't have a 2jz in it. I think the new Supra looks like a BRZ as designed by Chevrolet Performance, which doesn't really do it for me. I'm just happy that it has a straight 6 in it, even if it's not a Toyota engine More to your point, the car is also more expensive my yearly pre-tax income, so my opinion on the car carries as much weight as my dog's opinion does

Yeah, that's an all around terrible situation, I'm sorry. My vote is to send flowers if you're really grieving, but do it for yourself, not for them

Grakkus posted:Phones too. It feels like a purely anti-consumer move. They didn't have a manual reset button? The entire bottom plastic and harddrive of my ACER has to be removed to access the battery, but there's a button that you can push with a pin to disconnect and reset the battery without taking everything apart

And as someone without relevant skills, as long as you have passion and an ok resume, a surprising number of places will reach out. It feels really good

Fender Anarchist posted:sounds fake tbh I've had 5 interviews, but have no job, so it's not as amazing as it sounds, but it's encouraging keykey posted:This doesn't happen in CA unless it's "HAY YOUNG MAN, YOU WANNA INSTALL SOLAR/SELL INSURANCE/SELL OR INSTALL ALARM SYSTEMS?!?" Also, the market here is way too saturated which is why I'm looking outside of CA... that at some fresh non-CA perspective couldn't hurt. I've only applied for 5 jobs outside and I've already been contacted by 3 as opposed to hundreds and maybe 10, just the usual "Thank you for applying, you're definitely qualified but we decided to go a different route." generic emails. Though inside CA, I'm looking at jobs staying in academia, which by very definition they already have someone they want to hire they just have to go through the motions since somebody somewhere said," YOU HAVE TO GIVE EVERYBODY A CHANCE!" So they do the academia shuffle which is the industry norm, I just wish it was more like hiring in private industry where if they have someone they just promote them and if not then they throw a job announcement out to everybody. I feel like the job market is so weird right now, everyone is hiring but no one wants to hire a new employee

I love the "your car is a high value trade in" mailers for my old 01 Windstar. It was so poo poo that donating it to charity was more profitable than selling the thing

I've been bitching about how much of my welding classes have been safety lectures, but I truly underestimated how loving dumb people are. We've done at least 4 hours of lecture on OF safety, watched 3 videos on how to use the torch and regulators, watched our instructor go through the process 4 times, and then all had to demonstrate to the class that we could set up the torch and safely put it away 3 people in a 12 person class hosed up so bad that we started to retreat to a safe distance while they attempted to either light bystanders on fire or blow themselves up. It boggles the mind Rhyno posted:Jesus Christ, they've adjusted the expected windchill this wednesday from -42 to -51. Are we going to have a snow-nado with that wind speed or have you started using celsius?

My CNA instructor said that if you used the blower to dry your hands during clinicals that you'd have to stay an extra hour because it's completely unsanitary E: I always thought the midwest had the "neutral accent", so I didn't think that I had a regional accent.

If you look at the statistics, almost every long term relationship will have at least one partner cheat at some point. True monogamy is the outlier in human relationships. I'm of the opinion that embracing that fact and having semi-monogamous relationships with well communicated rules is much more realistic for long term stability All I know for certain is that currently I don't have the ability to effectively communicate my emotions well enough for polyamory to work for me

Applebees Appetizer posted:I think you're making a lot of assumptions about that post. "Pleasing" your partner can mean any multitude of things and have nothing to do with objectifying anyone. It sounds like a stand up joke from the 1980's. I thought it was a reference
