Or try to get them to let you work that through your own LLC and triple up. lol

The icing on the cake is that most of the offers are 6mo contracts, no benefits, with the option to hire or extend. This way the company can decide they don’t really need the position in six months and walk away with no recourse.

Minor pay cut?! Try 30% and no work from home. Companies smell blood in the water and low balling salaries across the board.

Yeah, it’s mainly a US problem. Local governments were structured to rely on sales tax revenue and had massive budget shortfalls when remote work took off. While remote work is better for the environment and employee mental health, but it was detrimental to the local economies, so many cities started mandating returning to office instead of reevaluating how our cities are structured/zones. Currently they’re not as much places to live as they are paces to conduct business, then commute back to suburbs to live. It’s fucked and our politicians are bought/paid for by the entrenched industries that got us into this mess in the first place. Maybe we’ll do better post balkanization of the empire.

To be fair a lot of apps don’t handle custom CAs like they should. Looking at you Home Assistant! 😠

Both is good. With the exception of NYC, most light rail and bus networks are focused on commuter traffic in the US and trying to go anywhere other than downtown and back home is a struggle. Crosstown routes are rare or require several changes and 2-3 hrs vs 15-30 minutes by car or bicycle.

Maybe something on rails to cover large distances between cities and towns, or like a really big car that can fit 50-100 people. If only such things existed…

Not to mention the economic terrorism remote workers are performing every day by not going out to lunch and happy hours in dismal chain restaurants concentrated in business districts we call downtowns. Will no body think of the shareholders?!

You only have to pay taxes for 10 years after expatriation if you set foot on US soil for more than 30 days during that period.

Well obviously not a white one.

Revolt is now Stoat

That’s exactly why so many companies push employee assistance programs for mental health crisis and weight loss. They don’t care if you actually get better, so long as it make you more profitable to them.

I only read Cellar Greek. Attic is to high brow for me.
