[01:05] DaemonFC You have to be careful though with expiration dates. [01:05] DaemonFC About a year after the date, is usually when it starts breaking down and separating. [01:06] DaemonFC Saving money is good, but throwing out several tubes of toothpaste because it's sat there so long it's separating into sand and liquid.... [01:06] DaemonFC That's eating into the savings. [01:06] DaemonFC I have 14 bottles of Irish Spring now. [01:06] DaemonFC I threw one at Garrett.... [01:07] DaemonFC No, I joke.

[01:15] DaemonFC So they could say there was a bonus and not pay many. [01:16] DaemonFC In 6 months, a lot can happen. Your car can refuse to start, you can get sick (especially now), you can be ordered to go to court and they don't ask what day works for you.

[01:19] DaemonFC So if you're like me and you have nothing to do all day except go and bicker about it, then you go fight it. [01:19] DaemonFC And they don't bother you as much anymore.

The reformed payscale was designed to make pay in each department uniform across each store and in line with local prevailing wages. [02:29] DaemonFC So I got a pretty big raise. [02:29] DaemonFC But I obtained a leaked draft of it. [02:29] DaemonFC Before the store's managers did. [02:30] DaemonFC At first they said they hadn't seen it so stop spreading rumors. [02:30] DaemonFC Then they got it in their email nine days later and I got called in and grilled about how I knew what management didn't. [02:30] DaemonFC Whoops. [02:31] DaemonFC The revision was also to squash some ethics problems. [02:32] DaemonFC Managers doling out arbitrary raises to underlings that they were fucking, for example. [02:32] DaemonFC Which was previously quite common. [02:33] DaemonFC So how it worked in 2004 up to the change was the store had a budget for annual raises. [02:33] DaemonFC And then of course the raises were giving out on a 1-5 performance scale. [02:33] agg1 the linux 2.2 milestone is noteworthy for another reasons, because when i began studying 20 years ago, at that time it was outdated already, with USB common all around in every place [02:34] DaemonFC If they gave you a 2, no raise, if you got a 1, then it triggered a probationary employment period where if you didn't improve in 60 days, they fired you.
