Potatos_are_not_friends , to Work Reform in ‘Zombie Offices’ Spell Trouble for Some Banks - The New York Times

Sounds like a “you” problem, banks.

Nobody told “you” to loan money to build unused offices.

Does min wage even support a studio apartment and like other basic needs?

This was more than a decade ago for me. But I worked 2 jobs doing fast food, lived with four roommates, and wasn’t able to contribute to my IRA, go on vacation or have much in savings. And where I could have gotten a studio apartment, then I’d downgrade to eating ramen.

My raise was 100% eaten by taxes.

Then with everything rising, I am now making a couple thousand dollars less than I did two years ago, even with all of those raises.

My biggest pet peeve was working in a restaurant and trying to seat a large group. That hatred has been with me for decades, that I actively refuse to involve myself in dinners larger than 6 people. It’s noisy. It’s too much management. There’s multiple conversations. It’s awful.

Even during family outings in public areas, I assemble little groups and pretend like we don’t know each other.

And before anybody even asks, I absolutely segmented my wedding into different 6-person teams when we went out in public.

Weird question.

How is this work reform?

That’s fair. I agree.

What I’m pointing out is that they’re intentionally nickel-and-diming poor people on cost-of-goods.

The stuff from these stores do not have a shelf life, you’re absolutely right. That broom example, maybe last 3 uses before it’s tossed.

“separating poor people from their money by making them a shitty offer that they can’t really refuse”.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say that.

I can buy $5 worth of cleaning supplies to tidy up a temporary space. Broom, mop, detergent.

The supermarket - a broom is $10.

I remember this cashier confronted a thief and was ready to fist fight him. The thief had a knife. Another vagabond went up to the thief and spoke to him and escorted him out.

Cashier was THE ONLY PERSON WORKING. And he was going to get stabbed for $9/hr.

Dollar stores are a shit show.

More armed black citizens should come to the store.

Don’t buy anything. Just show up. It’s a free country.

Rushed to electric cars.

I got a $45 food stipend for lunch once. My lunch cost $30 (it was lunch AND dinner) and then tipped the restaurant $15.

I’m using 100% of it.

How to save money when working in-person:

  1. Instead of buying lunch, just steal it.
  2. Dont go drinking with your coworkers. Day drink so you’re too drunk when you drive home.
  3. Make your own alcohol under your desk.
  4. Save money that you’ll be forced to spend at the tiddy bar by oogling Nancy, the 60 yo HR gal with the nice taa taas.
  5. Bike to work.
