I never even knew about them until about 10 years ago, then knew I wanted one immediately after looking them up.
Then a year later my sister, working at an animal rescue shelter, let me know that one came in after being abandoned due to running off and being picked up by animal control multiple times, and then I immediately got on the list to adopt.
The flaw with salary is that there is no defined amount of "work".
It wont always be because you underestimated the complexity and mismanaged your time. If they asked you to complete a task and the only way to do it was to work 80 hours a week, sure that's sometimes necessary. But what if they do that every week? Unless you were aware of those requirements during the hiring process and salary negotiation there's nothing you can do. What if they pile on even more to your 80 hour week and you need to work the occasional 100 hour week?
There's no way to regulate salary abuse, that's why the system needs to be based on an average of hours.
There needs to be legislation to reign in salary type work as well.
It still needs to be based on hours, like an average of 40 hours per week sort of thing.
Yes your pay cheque will be the same every week for simplicity, but you shouldn’t be expected to work 60 hours just because you’re salary. If you work one week 50 hours, you should be able to tell your boss you are only working 30 hours the next week.
I can see that being annoying, but it’s also one of the things that makes you a better/worse candidate for certain jobs.
Moving from out of country might mean you’re unfamiliar with the rules/regulations for certain things (like building codes/OSHA type stuff) or if it involves lots of travel people want to hire those familiar with the city streets and traffic already.
Yep, as far as I’m aware. This picture was from a few years ago after I picked him up from a shelter. Don’t know the lineage exactly, but he is on the small side for a Pyrenees and could be a mix or maybe a Maremma or something. I call him a Pyrenees though.
His last family gave him up after the recovery fees got too high with animal control since he kept running off constantly which sounds pretty Great Pyrenees to me too lol.
Yeah we wanted dark floors, medium walls and light ceiling. The walls in the picture are unfinished but now we have them stained a medium orange/brown colour.
Personally I would prefer 600 sq ft and some outdoor space over 1000 sq ft and no out door space, that’s the benefit of detached housing. Otherwise you may as well buy a 1000 sq ft apartment.
Why not keep the driveway and yard, yet still add the frequent bus service on every other street and other things? The driveway and yard don’t detract from livability. If someone wants they could remove the driveway themselves and plant a veggie garden or something.
What older folk often forget is that not only could they easily afford a house in the 60s and 70s, but they likely also could on a single income. Many people nowadays are having trouble affording a house on dual incomes.
Housing keeps going up and couples are now having to split them with other couples just to raise a family. My sister and her fiance live in the basement of a house where his brother and sister-in-law live upstairs with a toddler and twins on the way. They won’t have enough room soon and can’t afford anything larger, and my sister wants to start having kids soon but the basement isn’t exactly larger either.
That’s one house for 4 working adults and potentially 4 children, when back in the day you could have a full house with 2 adults and 3-4 children on a single income.
My grandpa worked as a landscaper/gardener and was still able to support his stay-at-home wife and 3 children.
Personally I don’t think you would need the tape. It’s usually for the gaps between sheets of drywall which can be significantly wider than these cracks. You should be fine just filling with the drywall compound and sanding.
For this you might end up seeing the thickness of the tape beneath the new layer of paint afterwards.
Technically though if you are your boss and an independent contractor you should easily be able to set your own wage.
You don’t see plumbers and electricians being told they have to work for a certain wage by the building owner. They set their wage and if it’s too high the owner tries to find a cheaper one.
These drivers aren’t actually contractors though, they are employees being screwed over by being falsely classified a contractors. If they all collectively decide to charge $25 / hour, than as independent contractors they should be allowed to and Lyft wouldn’t have any other options other than to try and find drivers who charge less.
