Here's a 2.5% raise.
The time has come to start my own business.
What kind of work do you do, OP? Hope you are successful in cucking wageslaves like you once were
...and instead you're posting on 4chan.
>see you tomorrow wageslave
>-sincerely, your boss
Got a 5% raise after 3 months, 7% after 6 months and 7% after a year. Also our sales numbers have been through the roof so commissions started 1k a quarter now I'm up to 5k. Been a good year.
Wagecuck here. Why am I not receiving overtime pay?
I work 8 hours a day 7 days a week at $12/hour at a Hershey Chocolate plant and my paycheck before taxes is about $1,340. Shouldn't it be around $1,500? Why am I not getting overtime pay? Is it because I'm a temp worker?
How much time do you have for lunch break?
>>1102433
I work 3PM-12AM with 2 30 minute breaks that are off the clock, so 8 hours a day.

Protip: if you like this job and the money, delete this thread and never think about this topic again.
Did anyone realize that starting app review farm can net you a lot of money?
Eg. Get 100 cheap mobile phones to review shitty apps. Ask 1 USD per review.
Better than sucking dick.

Where do you find people who pay you for reviews?
>>1102364
Via website. Of course you claim to be legit.

An enterprising individual could probably team up with or work as a freelance SEO guy which is completely legit.
Hey /biz/ I somehow got an interview with Fannie Mae in about a week, I'm just out of college and I don't know that much about them. What kind of information should I know to have a good interview and get the job?

impress them by explaining to them why they will be under, and should be ashamed of themselves because they secured loans for niggers and spics who would otherwise pursue their natural selection path.
Go in with low hopes and don't really care. If you care to much you won't get it. just practice typical questions and learn about the company they will ask what u know about them
i'm currently studying info tech engineering.
should i change my career?
why?
>>1100476
nah, that field is dominated by hobbyists, so assuming you love what you're doing then you're gonna be fine and make above average money. On the other hand if you are looking at it like a chore, there are gonna be hundreds of people with more knowledge than you with no degree who will swoop in on these jobs for cheap.

What is ‘accidental damage’ in regards to mobile phone i n s u r a n c e?
Looking to make a claim after I broke my phone by throwing my trousers at the wall when getting undressed, without realizing my phone was still in the pockets. Stupid story I know, but it's the truth.
Should I say that in the claim, or just say I dropped it (although my phone is actually broken apart, not the usual damage acquired from a drop).
Cheers guys for any help
>>1102448
>Drop pants
>Acquire currency
Living the dream!
Say it exploded while you were walking and caused severe burns on your leg which insurance didn't cover. Then say you are considering suing.
You'll likely get a new iPhone, an apology and some money to go away.
>>1102448
Your scenario should be covered. That's exactly the kind of thing phone insurance is for.

Finance is for extroverts. If you are on 4chan, you are the opposite. Autistic people go into Accounting.
>>1102432 so true. And accounting is going to make you mindless and a zombie.

This is actually quite accurate. I'm on my first accounting job, 2 weeks in. The average day looks like this.

So what does /biz/ think about the minimum wage increase?
Any restaurant owners or people who've done their research know what's going on?
I went to Jack in the Ass today and found out that 2 tacos went from .99 up to 1.29 here in california - is this because of the min. wage increase? Fugg.
It seems no one wants this thing to go up.
>>1100524
I don't like it because I make $12-$13 an hour.
>>1100524
minimum wage is stupid
>>1100524
Minimum wage increase should at least track inflation, and it's better if it goes up slowly. Doubling it instantly is a bad idea, anyway. Certainly it does seem odd that in a period of record increase in profit, companies couldn't afford minimum wage to increase or even track inflation - it's an argument I just don't buy, really.
That said, minimum wage does seem, like many well-intentioned policies, to have some detrimental effects. The argument that without minimum wage rules someone who...

he unironacly stole those ideas from fooled by randomness
why u guys not respect good videos?
>>1099752
There's a simpler way to explain this.
If 1000 people take some stupid 1/1000 risk, and one succeeds, the media won't let you hear the last of it, how brilliant he was and how you should follow him. You never get to hear from the 999 people who lost their life savings trying their luck at the exact same thing as the successful person.
Thus everybody is enticed to be like our Mr Success, without being able to weigh the risks properly because those other 999 guys are working at McDonalds and...

>believe markets are efficient

>90% hedge funds lose money and go bust sooner or later
Are quants just a bunch of overpaid glorified code monkeys who pretend tp look intelligent with their PhDs in maths and physics?
They are only "overpaid" if they generate actual and consistent returns.
>>1102379
your beliefs are contrary to the facts.
"Efficient Market Hypothesis" is something for a text book, it doesn't apply to the real world.
Markets can absolutely be predicted.
You pulled that 90% out of your ass, but you could say 99.9% of all businesses eventually go bust.
So /biz I started working on an insurance company and this is the script that I made myself and I would like to know what you think and what could I improve.
"
Good morning am I speaking with mr.______?
Its "my name" from "insurance company"
The reason of my call is to know if You could grant me a 20 min. date
and give you information that has been very useful and of big help to protect the financial stability for many people.
When could you give me a date for tomorrow at X hrs.
or Monday at Y hrs.?
"
Just go with the flow, fuck scripts
>>1102330
elaborate
No disrespect. But if you're thinking about starting your own insurance money, you must have the ability to pay someone to do this shit for you. Not to mention you have much more to worry about priority wise. This isn't a neighborhood taco stand. This type of business requires immense capital to generate any significant revenue.
