Baby boomers anticipate that 47% of pre-retirement earnings will be replaced by Social Security, according to results of an annual survey from the Nationwide Retirement Institute. But the reality for someone making what the Social Security Administration considers the average wage in recent years, about $60,000, is more like...
I’m going to be honest, I see where you come from, and how this is not textbook personal finance.
However, Lemmy is still in its very infancy, and I try to keep this community active. It’s not always easy to find content to post (most of the PF subreddit is usually questions from users), so here it is.
By the way, if you have any interesting content or question, feel free to post as well!
More than 1 in 4 car shoppers in Texas and Wyoming have committed to paying more than $1,000 a month, and experts say it is due to the high volume of large truck purchases in those states, according to a report by auto site Edmunds....
A big sticking point in contract talks between Detroit automakers and the United Auto Workers union is the popular assertion that it takes fewer workers to manufacture electric vehicles (EVs) than conventional cars.
Alright, so here’s the catch: I was working for one entity of a group. I was reporting to the entity director, but the whole group was still owned (something like 55%) by a single person, with an egocentric personality, and that owner was vehemently against working from home.
I mentioned to the entity director that there was nothing he could change as the working from office policy was pushed by the group (he had mentioned that earlier to a lot of people, that we were not following “the group policy”). I did not have an HR exit interview where to report my issue with the WFH policy directly.
Just to give an example at how stubborn the owner was: it was okay for me to work in one office while every other person I was working with would be in a different one, but I wasn’t allowed to work from home. I would thus go every day from my hometown to that office, interact with no one, make a few calls with my team in the other office, and go back home.
To even add more context, one of my former reports who took my role left a few months afterwards as well, in his case the issue was the pay they were offering.
Long story short, this company was full of issues, and didn’t seem to bother to even ask for feedback. A lot of other people quit around the time I did.
I answered in another comment above, long story short, they didn’t really ask me, it was not worth it to provide feedback if they weren’t going to take it into account

I always feel like the tipping point is where you are starting to mostly consider other aspects (work-life balance, work load, colleagues, type of work) over pay.
For me that’s happening now, before I would mostly take the salary into account.
The ideal way should be to have discrete access management: all mods can edit, members can suggest changes, then if a member is well-known he can get a special right to edit without mod approval, etc
This kind of access management would only be possible with an external solution for now
The only mod on !personalfinance never posted, seems to be squatting communities, and there’s only one other post since mine about this one 4 days ago.
I would suggest to keep the community here, we seem to get a few answers in the comments, and lemmy.ml is federated with more instances than LW, which allows to leave the discussion drama aside.
Great to hear you are wanting an active PF community too!
