This is the reason why but never the reason I give. If I make employers think at any time that I focus too much on the money, they will see me as a troublemaker. Instead, I come up with some bullshit excuse such as medical reasons and the smart employers will work it out on their own.
Even if a Ferangi wouldn’t pull this crap, at least they’re honest about their motivations and don’t expect other people to be motivated by anything other than money either.
If we could all just admit that life would be a lot easier and we wouldn’t have to put up with HR wankery. In fact we could probably get rid of the HR department because we all know they essentially just exist to try and keep the employees in line, and stop them forming unions, but if we just got paid more then they wouldn’t be necessary.
You think that way because they’ve taught you to think that way. Instead, you should be very plain about your pay expectations. If someone starts getting on your case for being “pay motivated” or some other horseshit HR wageyganda idea, here’s what you say.
“I hear what you’re saying, and certainly the main drivers in my career goals are broadening my skillset and achieving excellence. However, my life and family goals operate in a capitalist society reliant on me growing my compensation year over year. If this job is unprepared to meet my life goals, then let’s be explicit about that so I can reevaluate my plan for my household and decide whether this position is a fit.”
I think this way because it’s how many of my employers think. I would love to have a job where I could be this honest and it’s something I’m working on but most employers think this way and so too does my current employer. Even so, this is the highest paying job I’ve had so far. It’s easy for you to say that behind a keyboard not knowing my situation, it’s much harder for me to have a frank conversation with my manager in a deep red state. I’ve been fired before and rejected during the interview process for being too honest.
Ich war mWn noch nie in einem Euronics, aber zumindest Expert schlägt ja noch in die gleiche Bresche. Vereinzelt. Außerhalb des Ortskerns. Im Nischendasein.
Ich weiß nicht inwiefern die Läden sich ähneln aber die ein zwei mal die ich aus Verlegenheit bei Euronics war gab’s für mich überteuerte Kabel und eine teure PSU in Chinaböller-Qualität. Du weißt schon, so ein Ding das man in den Computer steckt um ihn an zu kriegen um sich dann ne anständige PSU zu bestellen. Mediamarkt und Saturn verkaufen zwar auch Schrott was sowas angeht, aber nicht nur Schrott, und dazu auch noch mit so einer Marge.
Vielleicht brauchbar wenn man ein Handy oder Fernseher braucht.
Am I the only millennial that doesn’t mind phone calls? Don’t get me wrong, I very much prefer an SMS or email if it will suffice but phone calls tend to be quicker if you need something taken care of immediately.
My favourite cat quote is when he’s asked to justify his existence.
“I have given pleasure to the world because I have such a beautiful ass!” “Some might say that’s a pretty shallow arguement…” “Some might say I’m a shallow guy, but a shallow guy with a great ass”
I’m always interested to know the scaled of these 19th C works, because some can be quite enormous. Turns out this is a small oil on canvas, on exhibit at the Santa Barbara Art museum, which lists the size as: 14 1/8 x 20 1/4 in. (35.9 x 51.4 cm).
Me too. I went to a Dali exhibition that did a really good job of drawing together most of his significant works, many of which I knew from books etc … and I was blown away at how I could not predict which were physically big and which were physically small or even tiny pieces, so good was his technique.
