checkmate. now is the time to ask for a raise, you are one of the irreplaceable ones. start interviewing and get another offer first if you are risk averse

>FUCK YOU NEETS! I WOULD HAVE YOU ALL THROWN IN A TRASH INCINERATOR IF I COULD!!!

lmao no honor among slime

I’m in a bind because I work remote, and one of the last jobs that fully do so. If I seek another job it will almost certainly involve commuting to the city 5 days a week, and I live over an hour away

>>508797663
he's going to force you to come in 3 times per week, his way to pressure you to quit without having to formally lay you off and the pricetag associated with it

>>508797054 (OP)
About time they got around to your prancing office cucks. But I will miss blowing you kisses in traffic when you look so sexy in your suit n tie, little man. Get real job, kid they pay better, are less stressful and manly to work with your hands. Seems like too many of you indoor raised kids are truly scared to get your hands dirty even for more $.

>>508797054 (OP)
boss?

You're going to reduce your work output concurrently, right?

>>508797983
Tradies really are faggots.

Have you seen the jobs report in the US? It’s increasing harder to get hired as more work is going to AI

>>508797904
Luckily there is no office location anymore. He has the server at his house and the rest is stored on paid cloud platforms. He told us last fall that software subscriptions and cloud fees account for 40% of the yearly budget

>>508797054 (OP)
How does and employer temporarily reduce take-home pay?
You mean you had your hours cut?

>>508797054 (OP)
that's great, I can spend more time with my family, more sex and the employer can enjoy using google translate to get his work machinery to operate or give up and retire when the zoomer malfunctions.

>>508797054 (OP)
Update your resume and start job hunting.

>>508797054 (OP)
lmao

>>508799003
>hours cut
He is having a QA tomorrow morning to talk about this. I’m going to ask him directly what happens for the next 3 months since everyone is now getting paid $1500 less

>>508798959
contract services are what businesses usually try and cut first, he's probably going to try and cut those cloud servers

>>508800237
God I hope so, adobe and Autodesk are destroying small businesses with yearly licenses instead of just selling the software outright like they used to do

>>508800046
>since everyone is now getting paid $1500 less
Damn
Honestly, I doubt it will be temporary
Be aware that a pay cut will reduce your unemployment if it goes on for longer than 3-4 months before they decide to lay you off.
I would covertly sabotage the company if they've treated you like shit.

>>508797054 (OP)
you did save 6 months in living expenses for exactly this situation, right, anon?
or did that sweet sweet nintendo switch and avocado toast call you just too loud to ignore?

>>508800046
Lmao, ask that Anon. Your boss will cut the rest and put you at the true minimum wage. 0...

>>508801085
Fuck I need to look into this, I don’t want to get laid off again. I got laid off in 2020 and 2023

>>508797054 (OP)
They can just decide instantly to not pay you? Wtf??

>>508802089
Anon, it has been shrinking since 2008. They just papered over it with money printing and low interest rates. Even that failed during Covid, and now the can kicking is coming to an end.

>>508801850
For real.
I worked in a factory that pulled this dirty trick, along with hair-testing everyone for drugs (over half of the guys there smoked weed or did coke on the weekends) so they could fire them instead of lay them off.
They had some stipulation where they had to pay a percentage of the total unemployment for 2 years while everyone who got laid off was retrained, so they cut hours drastically in their final 6 months of operation to reduce their contribution.

>>508797054 (OP)
>>temporarily reduced our take-home pay for 3 months
how? dont you have a contract which says how much he has to pay you?

>>508802563
have you tried not being a degen drug user?

>>508802425
What are you supposed to do, start shooting when they come to kick you out of your house because you can't pay your mortgage without working for a Mr. Steinbergwitz with a government contract?

your founding fathers killed for much less, so uh, yes.

>Just got a pay raise to $50 an hour
>Going on paid vacation for a week
I know it's not much but I'm thankful for what little I get

>>508802592
Most employers in the US are “at-will” meaning terms can change at any time with advance notice.
However I didn’t get advanced notice, we were all told our June paychecks would be reduced by $500

>>508802695
I wasn't part of the 50% who did drugs, retard.
The point is that they never enforced it or announced the hair tests until it was too late for the guys who did partake.
Guys were scrambling to shave their entire bodies and using Nair.

>>508797663
Better buy some prep H, those commute hemroids arent covered by insurance and mr. Nosenberg NEEDS you there to justify the work space. No extra pay for travel time either.

Alternatively you could just sell everything to move to the Big City where its either noggers or non-english speakers. Both hve their pros and cons.

>>508798061
Hell yea.
NEET4LYFE

>>508802983
I was a few blocks away from where a situation like that occurred. The guy didn't take anyone out with him though. Only shot in the direction of the Sheriffs when they showed up for the eviction.
SWAT got called in to whack him.

>>508803214
That might not be legal. You might also quality for partial unemployment. You should get an attorney.

>>508803274
> body shave
Not a bad idea to do regularly in any tech field. Face and body, hairless is a must. Moisturizing is key! Makes you streamlined, ready, agile. Very important thought, YOU GOTTA get thin or stay thin too! Remember eating is a waste of time best spent copy/pasting GPT prompts.

Stay limber between pasting sessions by doing some yoga too. Really keep those hips loose! Skip haircuts for atleast 1 year. Long hair shows dedication to the craft and saves you money. Also reject below knee high compression socks, opt for above knee ones for maximal compress. To handle these hot days with above knee compression its best to wear shorter shorts, to keep your upper thighs cools.

>>508797054 (OP)
this usually means they don't have enough money to make payroll. prepare yourself.

>>508803699
it's an issue of division and keeping people isolated and paranoid of each other for sure, before- an idea would create a wave and it would resonate and stick among the locals, now with so much media and political noise, no one can focus and gather each other up behind any single cause, not unless it is deepstate/establishment approved, backed by some subversive heeb's billionaire dollar...so obviously one has to respect the current situation but it begins to get better when it's at least acknowledged outside of these forces, but I doubt granny next door is gonna dust off her saw-off shotgun and care that the doo-hickey making factory that shuts down is gonna think it's worth her time when her shows are sufficient dopamine enforcers...truly a cluster fuck and not every American community is the same in this regard.

>>508803804
Fuck, I don’t want to be unemployed again. It took me 6 months to get this job

>>508804348
It's going to be so much worse than it should have been once shtf because of this.
Actually, they might be to the point of being able to tell the zogbots to fuck off and eat shit when they try to evict spics in Cali.

Your what now ?

Everything is rent seeking these days. It’s getting ominous. They’re going to kill the golden goose with their insatiable greed.

>>508804140
Idk about all that other shit but I haven't cut my hair since 2019.

Americans respond for us poor people what the fuck is a take home pay ? Is it the part of the pay you're allowed to take home as opposed to the stay at work pay or something ?

>>508804140
>gayer chatgpt just dropped

>>508810545
Take home is what you take home after taxes. Aka net pay. Gross Pay is pre-tax pay and what jobs advertise their pay at.

>>508810545
>>508807711
Take home is post-tax pay. Your gross pay may be $2000 a month but after tax and social security and healthcare you may only get $1100 in your account

>>508807550
he may not want that and will probably fire you for offering homosexual favors. (I would fire you.)

at some point its cheaper to just toss a mess of drives in a couple of boxes with one running as backup.
cloud is gay as fuck, you know those niggers are going through your data.

>>508798061
I quit going to work after I realized 90% of the time I'm just wasting my time doing pointless shit nobody cares about and not getting ahead in life.
I worked there a lot over the past 12 years and the wagie community was a major factor in my decision to not work anymore. NEETs did it to an extent as well but WAGIES are far worse.
Someone could give a long drawn out and factually accurate explanation of what would have to happen for me to even be able to one day buy a home and have a family and why working was fraudulent. The post would get a dozen responses of
>WHY SHOULD YOU EAT?
>when you know you know
>economic collapse is coming
>stack metals the end is nigh
>keep waging faggot
>100% eoy silver will reach 5k an ounce
Or some equally long schizo post explaining numerology, using bible scripture and random posts here explaining how by the end of the year billions will be unemployed because of the AI.
Here we are.
After seeing the nothingburger today I came here just to watch the seething and suicide letters. It’s beyond EOY, the jobs didn't disappear, the banks didn't collapse (unfortunately), no more use cases and all the dirty laundry is out in the air now.
It’s not going to be Millennial's Economic Paradise, it will not be the Roaring 20's all over again. The world will not be descending into hyper deflation and prosperity (as was obsessed over for months/years) it will be going on as usual with no major gains or rewards.
I will enjoy watching wagies burn every step along the way.
Why?
Because those fucking idiots deserve it all.

>>508797663
>because I work remote

Because I stay home and do 15 minutes, total, of anything productive and get paid 8 hours for it.

Those days are over anon. Enjoy it while it lasts.

My company was paying $250,000/month for 4 floors in a skyscraper and a sign on the top of the building just for bragging rights.
We started working from home in 2020 and they didn't renew the lease. Nothing of value was lost. The work is still getting done.

>>508817056
CRE jews are crying now :(

>>508814695
NTA but I've been remote for 7 years (we were remote precovid) and I'm worried we're gonna exit or something soon.
I don't know how to commute to an office anymore. I've basically been a NEET for 7 years and nobody has figured me out yet. My last performance review was glowing. And I've survived 6 layoffs.
I automated my entire job and just play games and watch Anime and do code.
My employer has paid me to to make it to Grandmaster in both Overwatch and Marvel Rivals. For knowing everything about every DragonBall series and for building a private game server.
How fucked am I when this gravy train stops?

no marketable skills, doing adult daycare corporate headcount job, complaining how things turned out. they did turn out exactly as one would expect

Trips of truth. Not reading the autobiography. Image is based though.
>YOU JUST DON'T WANT TO SUFFER IN AN ENDLESS POINTLESS GRIND!
Yes
I'm being forced back into wagecucking.
I'm flirting with being homeless while I do it though. A gym with a shower is nearby. Would be able to save up pretty quickly a bunch of cash. Seems like the only way to get ahead.
