I work in ecomm and our factory had been exploring Mexico but settled on Vietnam, they’re in the process of moving key people over there now. I imagine most others are doing similar, tariffs were bad enough as is.

Lol yep the only crops we will get will have to be imported and heavily tariffed. Gg Trump

What the fuck, man.

Perfect running weather.

It’s like a year’s worth of pent up desire for more free time, then we get it and have no clue what to do so we default to scrolling, YouTube, and enough weed to stay at least mildly stoned for a week. Then back to work like nothing happened, except nobody has been doing your work so you get to deal with whatever work picked up during that time.

I have a friend that does IT/networking for a school district and he makes bank, YMMV.

There’s the next one on the chopping block. It’s kind of great and freeing cancelling all these subscriptions. Just one $5 payment per month to newsgroup ninja and i got everything. I’ve been holding on to prime and Netflix for convenience but honestly fuck them.

My mom is pretty vehemently anti trump, she has a Christmas ornament that says “fuck Trump” and a coffee mug that’s says something to a similar effect. No effigies tho, but GOP had a pretty dark history with that one so it probably wasn’t too deep in their playbook.

Wait, you guys are getting BJs?

Let’s talk about Palestine at Christmas dinner 👍

The spirit of Christmas, everyone.

I hate how most of my job is being a professional emailer.

No link but American wild burger, the one in the city shut down apparently but there’s still one in the suburbs. Add bacon cheese and BBQ sauce and you’re at a little over $20 for a burger with no fries.

If you go to Google maps and just type burgers and filter price $20+ or $30+ there are plenty burger bars that will match that criteria.

To be fair tho I live in Chicago and there’s 2 of these places by me. But there’s another 2 that I can get a loaded combo with fries and a drink for about $10 USD and it’s always fresh and delicious.

My fiance is a store manager for a big box and it was closed for Thanksgiving. A passerby pries the door open and broke it, setting off the alarm and alerting the security company. I had to drive her out there and she spent Thanksgiving waiting for a door vendor to show up to repair it and sign off 🥲

That’s my story on how some entitled asshole ruined a family holiday for us.

Unrelated I got 600+ applicants for a basic warehouse job.

I don’t make 100k, but me and my fiance make about 140k combined and that gets us a 1BR apartment in North Chicago and we share a car. We live better than when we each made about $40k but six figures isn’t what it used to be.

Yeah… I feel like I contributed so much more before but managing people, but this is where the money is sadly. I went from supply chain/purchasing/logistics manager to operations manager. I used to be a one man team and single handedly saved maybe $200k this year so far, and took our aged inventory from about $1M to basically nothing, all of our KPIs are primo. This is a company that pulls $10M/yr in revenue… small company.

I got rewarded with spending half my time babysitting the warehouse team, getting reamed by my boss when they’re not getting through things fast enough, and fixing their mistakes and bandaiding bad processes. But I got a 30% raise so I guess it’s worth it? I could be doing so much more.

I just looked it up you’re right lol. I imagine it’s intended for pricing compliance and maybe data security, those are common lawsuits. If you get food poisoning and they find food safety violations… or if the golden arches falls on your car, or really any other negligence they’re still on the hook.

Compliance is a really big deal in corporations and pricing is a big one. Again not a lawyer tho.

Idk I’m just a guy that eats chicken sandwiches every now and then LOL. If that were true I highly doubt it would hold up in court, but I’m not a lawyer.
