    You know I read every thread.

    My post above sounds excessively bitchy and Millenial-lly. There is nothing special about my situation. I'm not even in a "situation." I've just been exploring other opportunities, and once you start doing that, you start getting the "grass is always greener" syndrome going on. Fortunately, I've been networking and can make a seamless transition if I need to. We'll see.

    No it doesn't. What you said is the truth. One would 'think" business learned their lesson when the people they hire can't last the month, if not days in to the job.
    Some places are willing to pay a decent new hire wage, while others could give a fuck and have revolving door employees.

    You're almost there.

    I just don't want to sound like the usual "I feel like I'm worth more money, whaaaa." It's not me, it's the job.

    Anyone who scales a 40' roof with an almost vertical pitch deserves a lot of $$. Especially hazardous pay.

    Sounds like a business that wants to run like the .gov. The .gov is failed, only propped up by the ability to write itself credit on the backs of 5 generations not yet born.

    A backstop to such behavior would be a radius-based contract: anything outside of this radius = full cost if cancelled without X hours (48?) notice.

    I just want to be lazy and a billionaire at the same time. Why can't I be part of an entourage of some Princess in Dubai?
