| IdiotMachine 02/13/21 11:52:32 AM #13 | berlyman101 posted... I didn't say an unreasonably high number. just a bit over what you're willing to settle for. it seems like you agree.Yup, agreed. To me, "pawn shop deal" = unreasonable, since they always low ball you, and you have to play that stupid game. --- |
| Topic | anyone ever negotiate a salary before? ive never done it. |
| IdiotMachine 02/13/21 11:46:38 AM #10 | berlyman101 posted... not true unless you're an software engineer and they can't afford to fuck around with low ballimg you.That logic doesn't make sense. If you're saying that the job is not worthy and the employer will fuck with you, you saying an unreasonably high number will just get laughed out, because they will screw you and just get another employee. Josiah_Is_Back posted... Let's say you're worth in the $75,000 range. You think they're gonna look at you some kind of way if you instead ask for $77,500 or $80,000? It's called a range for a reason.Your post said treat it like a pawn shop deal. A ~7% increase is not a pawn shop deal. I agree with you that if you're worth $75k, won't hurt to ask for $80k. --- |
| Topic | anyone ever negotiate a salary before? ive never done it. |
| IdiotMachine 02/13/21 11:41:15 AM #7 | Josiah_Is_Back posted... Treat it like a pawn shop deal. Go higher than you're actually looking for. That way if (when?) they knock it down a little, you're actually getting what you really want.This is not a good idea. You should know your worth and value based on market; don't go above that, or you'll look like someone who doesn't know what they're talking about. If what you say and what number you give out is reasonable, you will get it. --- |
| Topic | anyone ever negotiate a salary before? ive never done it. |
| IdiotMachine 02/13/21 11:36:55 AM #2 | First and foremost, find out if your salary is even negotiable. If you work for a large company, chances are it's not negotiable since everything is structured. If you find out that your salary is negotiable, then negotiate away. Don't just say "I want more money", or start listing off your problems "I need more money because I have a kid"; explain what you can do for the company and why that is worth the money (e.g., speak up your achievements, what you can do, what you will do). --- |

| IdiotMachine 02/12/21 10:44:51 AM #3 | Multiple life sentences are done for justice reasons (e.g., you did two crimes, so they should both be charged), legal reasons (e.g., you can get one overturned, but still have to carry the other), and symbolic reasons. --- |

It was the first DVD I had ever owned after finally moving on from VHS so it holds some kind of nostalgic value, even though it's kind of a shallow popcorn movie and its existential themes felt very "sterilized" by Hollywood.Huh... I wonder if that's why I like this movie. I don't recall DVD, but I bet I had this on DVD. --- |

| Topic | Holy shit beds are expensive. Why are they so expensive? |
| IdiotMachine 02/07/21 12:50:03 PM #37 | Sad_Face posted... Is there an advantage to a box spring frame? I was charged at the furniture store some ridiculous price and so I went to online and picked up one of those assembly bed frames from a fraction of the price. Now I have more space in my room where I can put things under my bed and I have never missed my woodenbox frame I was using for over a decade.The warranty paperwork says you need to have the matching box spring, or it voids the warranty. Anywho, went to Original Mattress Factory and all their mattresses are different compared to Mattress Firm. I started Googling mattresses, and it seems like every store has different mattresses. How the hell am I supposed to compare? Ugh... --- |

A new bed and a sectional are the two next pieces of furniture I want to buy.So what sale is good? The guy from Mattress Firm was saying the President's Sale at 40% off is "as good as it gets", except for clearances and floor models. I'm on my way now to the Original Mattress Factory to see other beds / prices. --- |

| Topic | Holy shit beds are expensive. Why are they so expensive? |
| IdiotMachine 02/07/21 11:17:56 AM #1 | First time buying a bed, and a king size bed with bed spring costs over $2k!!! The sales guy said the bed spring is required if I want to keep the 10-year warranty. I read Simmons' warranty, and sure enough, it does require a bed spring... Furthermore, a king size bed frame costs at least $100, with nice wooden ones going for like $500+. What the shit... *EDIT*: To clarify, I've been just moving with my queen size bed that my parents bought me almost a decade ago. I wanted to upgrade to a king size bed, and then this. --- |
