    No, this was after I already had the health issue. When I took the job, there was no way to know that this one part of the business was so badly set up. I only discovered that after I started to work there. The manager hollered that when I took the job I knew what I was in for, so it was...

    I've read that this is actually a major part of the success now for Warren Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway conglomerate. As he adds a new business, he cross-promotes it to all the other businesses, and to the shareholders, and to the many people who read his investment reports.

    Time & Scale seem pretty positive to me. Time Initial setup provides ongoing residual subscription income. As soon as I troubleshoot the operational checklist for what works, I can bring in other people and delegate to them. There are plenty of people who love to be told exactly what to do and...

    Figuring Out Instagram

    SOCIAL MEDIA EXECUTION 
    I'd always seen as it a place for consumers to consume fluff that's fun and entertaining in the moment... not to find inspiration, or ideas that might require some actual thought and work to apply. You're going to continue with your experiment?

    I can't speak for MJ. I do have the impression that it's kind of tacky to flag the forum owner on something that really doesn't need his personal attention... we do know he browses the forum and jumps in when he's got something to say. Otherwise, I get the feeling it's kind of like saying...

    Well, one reason I'm sharing my day job experience, is to show that even being able to do something really useful - in my case, to be a senior software engineer in major corporations - is still no guarantee of longevity in a lucrative career. Not only is the Fastlane more appealing, which is...

    What's the maximum ceiling on appropriate complaining on a post labeled RANT, in which people rant?

    It's also no guarantee even if they like you, they really, really like you! Here's why my second previous job really ended. Great people. I liked working for this nonprofit that included a school. I was a volunteer, who they hired as a temporary fill in after a key employee retired, while...

    How I made $4,000 in 3 months By Executing HARD

    NOTABLE! 
    Yep! The clients have 9-5 day jobs and want to leave on time for supper! Yep, I've seen those at most job orientations in the last decade. There are catalogs that have these videos in the $200 range. Not bad for two actors, one announcer, one cubicle farm set, one corner office or...

    Why my last regular-paycheck job really ended. Because it was the slow season, everyone's hours were cut, mine to under 10 hours a week. This would have been valid cause to quit and get unemployment, but I hadn't worked long enough in the new state to qualify. Also, the company willfully...

    No, when I read how you'd been fired by text message, I thought "he's got to report that to the labor board." And then I saw the Report button, and for a moment was thinking that it should be clicked to make a Report. And then I realized, that won't help you... it would only alert the Forum...

    I would completely agree with you on that one. Of course, to managers, all managers are indispensable!

    You need to talk with the agency right away. They might be able to work something out. Also, they might owe you money for which they're legally obligated to pay, and it would be up to them to sue the restaurant owner. But don't go there with them, just talk to them and find out. If they give...

    MJ's next big market might be Japan. In the US, if you lose a big time job, many people are willing to accept that for whatever reason, it just happened to not work out, so you can try something new. The Japanese system has been based for decades on the premise that you go from college into a...

    That's total bullshit. There are a lot of places where office politics, pecking order, scratch-my-back favorites, nepotism, entrenched incompetents circling the wagons to protect each other, conspiracies both legal and illegal, matter a hell of a lot. And objectively provable excellence at...
