LETSGOBROWNIES Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 @Darth Pees would she have benefits from you or elsewhere if she chose B, or just no benefits? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you rather work for a company: OPTION A: Salaried ($45,000 but you live in the Portland area) Work from home PTO/Vacation days Work 60+ hours a week managing people where there is high stress and little reward Yearly raises are garbage (like 1-2%) and bonuses are even worse (like $500) OPTION B: Hourly (draw vs. Commission where draw is $11.25/hour) No benefits at all Flexible hours and scheduling Potential to make $4,000/month before taxes (so basically what you make now in the salaried position once taxes are accounted for) significantly less stress Your earnings are directly tied to how much you work and how much you sell certain products as well Option A is the job my GF currently has. Option B is the personal trainer job she was just offered. I'm wondering, given those details, which one sounds more appealing to you. A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obvious answer is you’re forced to marry her so she can have a better job and benefits. Sorry about that. But does she qualify as a domestic partner? Idk???

My daughter is in dance and tumbling and can do them so I just thought it was a weird deal he would get through. Last night while my son was getting ready for bed I head "OK USA" come from his room. The kid somehow got my old Bloodsport DVD. I remember those days. When i was a kid, after watching a vam damme movie, me and my friends would go outside and karate kick the tire swing Edited July 23, 2018 by Malfatron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk to your HR rep. They are the people that handle your benefits. For your company. They work in an office title “Human Resources”. They are knowledgeable about resources, for humans. Specifically humans who work for the company that employs them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETSGOBROWNIES Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I’ve scheduled a dentist appt for my son, scheduled my annual physical, scheduled an appt for my ccw renewal with the sheriff, and explained to darth pees what HR is. I haven’t adulted this much in a single day in months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something you should consider here that has huge value, especially in your 20's, is your GF's overall career aspirations. Do either of these jobs line her up for something better down the line?
