Mom and Dad are being creepy again…

Reminds me of an Oscar Wilde play.

Many US jobs are based off an hourly rate, some with overtime (usually not added in). I noticed other posters mentioned Xmas bonus. As an hourly worker I received a standard 3% yearly raise to cover increased costs of living. Because our cost of living increase was nearly double that, our salary actually declined. Oh and that Xmas bonus… If you count a 25$ gift card to Walmart a bonus…

Pretty shit, but it could be worse.

I prefer to talk to individuals on phones rather than texting a long conversation. If it’s a quick question (yes/no) or short answer texting is ok. But I find it taking longer and more tedious to text out an ongoing conversation over 20 minutes versus just calling and getting straight to the point and getting the information you need in 5 minutes.
