Yeah that Obama care subsidy is the bomb until tax day where you get nailed for that cheap insurance. In the end it's cheaper to buy your own unless you have preexisting issues.If you were making $60-80K full time, you would be still making $20-30K 2 days a week. Plenty for all the other expenses.
1) If you're making $20-30K a year you qualify for an Obamacare plan for $100-$200 a month.
2) Buy some IRAs. Many full time jobs don't have retirement benefits.
Perhaps someone can enlighten me, but it’s been common knowledge for quite some time that they didn’t have AC in their trucks. Every time you see one in the summer, the doors are open.Hang in there my friend - I can't believe you roll in trucks without AC. If anyone deserved to get paid, it's you folks. My guy delivered liquor and wine during shutdown, and as far as I'm concerned he needs a brown cape.
Back in the day my folks used take me to the local terminal to drop off packages. Guys would let me roll packages down the metal conveyor into the truck. For a young kid, it was pretty cool.

You should post this on every, single rant thread…The world has too many whiners.
What makes the piece of paper useless? If part of the requirements for posting to a role/advancing is a college degree is a degree in a "useless" field better than not having the useless degree?Any person with a relevant skill set / training / education will always be in demand.
Would there be so many whiners not wanting to pay their student loans if they were successful in their career ?
No need to get useless $70K dead-end degree to work as a Starbucks barista.
People don’t need a useless piece of paper with their name on it.
From my most recent experience this is really true. I worked for the computer technology division of a Fortune 200 conglomerate. Like many of the divisions this company had, our division was formed from numerous acquisitions in our industry. At one time in this industry there were 10 companies competing and today there are only 3 left.....with one of those companies being a privately held concern with HQs in Italy. Many of these companies (at least 5) were acquired by the conglomerate.Very simple rule for large publicly traded companies. If the stock is doing really well, the employees are not: The exception are managers they always do good. I left the work force at 52 and never look back.
I see you're from Canada. Most members on this forum, including me, are from the USA. For whatever reason, I feel Americans would rather moan about their co-workers than their employer.
I'm a UPS Teamster and there's a chance I'll be on strike next month. I know there are people against unions, but the founder James Casey of UPS approached the Teamsters to organize his employees. UPS was started in Seattle over 100 years ago and James didn't want a radical union unionizing his company, so he wanted the then conservative Teamsters to represent his employees.
In the USA our benefits have been a race to the bottom. There's little reason to stay loyal and with the same employer for years if you're going to get screwed.
Does Canada guarantee vacation time? It seems like every modern country does other than the USA.
Can you differentiate between employer and boss?
First place I worked out of college was an awesome company. However after a few years management changed, and I ended up working for an idiot. He screwed a bunch of important things up royally and then tried to blame his staff. I ended up going way over his head - and I actually won that fight (surprisingly), which meant I knew I was dead man walking. I put in for a transfer however the boss I had previously worked for had left the company and convinced me to quit and come work for him. Mistake -but before that, later idiot boss went to be in charge somewhere else and called me trying to recruit me to the new place? I didn't know if he was really that stupid or just thinking he could screw me as payback or something?
Anyway, place number 2 was dysfunctional from top to bottom. My boss was great - why I went - but there was only so much he could do. We were a satellite office so eventually he got removed from the company, and I got a nice package to leave also. They eventually got rid of everyone he hired I am sure out of spite.
Job 3 Its a bit of both. The boss is awesome. But this is also a satellite office except corporate is overseas. The owners are all great people but those running corporate are idiots, hence the relationship between the us and them is always a disaster. Somehow the boss continues to juggle this, but it means were mediocre at best and always fighting problems we cause ourselves. I have however stayed here more than a decade - being private and knowing the owners makes it very stable. Still I think my days might be numbered. Now that my kids are almost done college the need for stability no longer has the allure it once did - so maybe something more challenging in a positive way?
3 or 4 friends or two couples buy a house or rent an apartment together. Any one of them alone make good money and could afford the rent or mortgage alone. Now if they each work just 2 days a week, they would bring in more than enough to pay the rent/mortgage and then have 5 days a week off to enjoy life.
How about owning equipment and trucks but only having one guy? I'm the lube tech, mobil mechanic,in shop mechanic,mobil welder etc!
Yesterday I was able to get a flatbed into the shop. I adjusted the brakes and greased the s- cams and slack adjusters before it was taken away from me. No time to check lights or tires .
I worked at a tire store that did not allow lunches and Saturdays you worked 8-12 free.
Worked at a muffler shop and was called every name in the book by the owner. He would send me upstairs to get a tailpipe. There was no organisation up there and if it took me more than 5 seconds to find it I got yelled at.
I worked at the radiator shop 18 years with no vacation whatsoever. I did get an extra day off for my wedding.
It's only 2 miles from home and pays fair. Not great but ok. Local jobs here are very hard to get. My other option is to commute several hours a day. We only have so many trailers and such. If ones down jobs that pay millions are put on hold. They are required to have certain things done by certain days with no lienency. Most of it is govt work.Why do you stay?
I wouldn't have made a month there before quitting.
The company you work for sounds like a crappy, and also dangerous place to work.
Nothing should ever leave the shop until it is 100% perfect, no exceptions!!!
Boy, that is the truth! All of the red tape and the federal employees go on vacation when deadlines are approaching.Working as a Federal contractor is all of the BS of being a Federal employee with none of the benefits or job security.
