automation industry is a bit different when not in a recession. over time is almost always available. every project could get done sooner, especially with automotive customers
- Comment on The bosses are never going to just hand workers a 32 hour workweek. 6 days ago:
it hasn’t been doubled my whole working career. though to be fair I’m only in my 30s. I am aware of a couple companies that did double time on Sundays, which predictably resulted in employees gaming the system to sit in the office on Sundays and watch Netflix.
“good” companies around here will pay overtime over your base hours, which is typically 40 hours. the legal minimum is to pay 1.5x regular rate after 44 hours. pretty much every company does the legal minimum of 1.5 times regular rate for overtime
- Comment on The bosses are never going to just hand workers a 32 hour workweek. 6 days ago:
yes, I am hourly and get paid for my OT. unfortunately not above base hours at 1.5x rate though, that’s only at the legal requirement of over 44 hours. bit of a mistake on the company’s end, there, as it doesn’t encourage OT since if I’m only going to work 46ish hours this week, why even bother since I’m only making 1.5x on two of those extra six hours
I am always a bit surprised when people ask me that tho lol because like fuck no I would not work for free

I’m “lucky” to have the option of a compressed 4x10 work week
the Friday off is beautiful. if I had a commute, doing that 20% less often that would be a big plus too. but the fact that this is presented as a perk and not a standard option, as well as the requirement to often work on my “weekend” (Friday aka unscheduled day) kind of makes it less of a perk

I think it’s pricing
I got a friend who bought a RAM last year. he was previously hauling construction equipment in his partner’s crossover and his own sedan. a pickup was an appropriate buy
HOWEVER he got a RAM (thankfully no LED headlights, though they are mounted way too high still), and tbh I’m not really sure what his alternatives were. “small” pickups like the Maverick are too small, and expensive
also he’s like 6’4" 250+lb so he physically needs a bigger cabin lol

547 times? including red lights and school zones?
shoot 'em and be done with it. no place for this person in society, and there’s nowhere on earth that deserves having them dropped there

I went on a date recently where she checked that I knew she was 3-4 years older than me (both in our thirties)
like, yeah, it says that in your profile. what about it? it was a little bit weird. like, ok good to check, but still a tiny bit strange because of how concerned she seemed to be that I knew
