Antiwork

I will start. I got a 5 cent raise at CVS from my pharmacist who's job I saved when I noticed 2 prescriptions in one bag. Turns out her” pregnancy” brain put two different patients drugs in one bag. An antibiotic and adderall. Good job!

Hi, Many articles I read said that boomers don't need to sell stocks to fund their retirements. They will just give most of it to their children. Therefore keep buying more stocks (whoever is reading the article). To me, it sounds like it was written by pro-stock people in the equity industry who benefit from people buying stocks e.g. stock brokers, financial advisors, etc. Not every boomers is rich or generous enough to leave most of their wealth to their children. Some will sell to pamper their golden years. I just wonder if they would sell enough to make the stock price drop to a reasonable price again (like when they bought a few decades ago, not dollar wise but PE ratio and other stuff). The current price is way way overvalued by any measures. I believe the selling would accelerate more once they need LTC, long time care. It's…

Just as the title says. I'm trying to stay more informed economically and am curious if this is still talked about. I was in high school when Obama got elected and this was a discussion I heard in class a lot back then. But I'm wondering if this topic has been abandoned partly with respect to the expansion of the military industrial complex, especially since George Bush Jr. was president.

Roughly 5 months ago, I started a high-level IC role at a largish company. I was hired for my network, subject matter expertise, and strategic vision. I am my manager's only full-time report, though he borrows two staff part-time from another department. Recently, things much busier, and I ended up being told we needed to organize a trip for a director. It was a massive nightmare – something like two dozen different places to go. Like most office workers, I can do basic logistics, but it is not my main skill set. It takes me time to do right, and it had to be right, because a trip like this is all downside risk. But fine, I'll be a team player. I wrote up a plan, got sign off, and set out to implement it. It was the most horrible month of my life. Almost immediately, the plan was tossed…

signed for a job on Wednesday, drug test, paperwork, contract, everything done! then today (yesterday? idk its late and im still fuming) got a call saying that the position has been filled. Ive been job searching for weeks. I got 5 calls between signing and being told the job is gone. FIVE. 4 of them payed better (not by a lot but still), 3 of them fit the hours i need to work. I turned them each down saying that i already signed a contract for the new job. im still fuming about this bs. i just moved to Nebraska too. idk if im looking for legal advice but i know im venting to peoplle who understand this bs. Have a good day folks!
