Just lol at thinking an employer will appreciate your hard-work or ideas.
>be Nikola Tesla >employer promises you $50,000 if he invents some new breakthrough >invent it >lol it's just a joke.
I've had similar things happen to me by employers. I solved a huge technical problem they were having for 2+ years, this generated millions in revenue and allowed them to land several new clients. I also trained the entire department of a dozen people on new things I developed over the previous 6 months.
I got a $2/hr raise. The president of the company said "I'd feel it the next time I went to the mall". He then spent the rest of the meeting talking about his "leadership" skills.
there was that guy who saved millions for a large uk supermarket, i think it was tesco and all he got was a £10 bonus or something

How much were you making per hour?

Working for boomers is a mistake.

Cool blog, bro. Subscribed.

They were 40 year old boomers (GenX-boomers)
>How much were you making per hour? about 3 fiddy

>that kind of gen xer who thinks that because boomers fucked up his life it's his turn to be the asshole that fucks up moomers and zoomers
Sad world we live in where instead of righting the wrongs of the past most people just choose to shit down each other's throats because they can't get back at the people who fucked them but they can fuck the new guy over.
look up tracy hall, the inventor of the synthetic diamond, who worked for General Electric.

This thread makes my blood boil.

Baffles me how many people still think this way. Every single person at my company stays working well into the night. When I speak to them about it they talk about how necessary it is for the company and how good their bonus will be at the end of the year.
Brody Perez
this. Boomers conveniently do not remember drunkenly beating their kids all throughout childhood, then throwing them out into homelessness the day they turned 18
GenX is warped, I recovered but I'm sick, happened to 80% of us
Michael Murphy
Judging by their linkedin profiles, they were never really fucked over in the labour market. The president of the company landed a first job at Bain consulting after graduating uni. He didn't seem like a really bright, studious guy so dunno how he got that as a first job without any experience.
Samuel Lopez
Fucking this. Remorseless beings, boomers are less nurturing/caring than animals that experience the cruelty of other nature on a daily basis. Fragile and unforgivable fools.
Christian Foster
Mother* nature Fuck

If you wagecuck for 500,000 hours, that’s an extra $1M. You should be grateful to your boss.
Adam Gonzalez
have some self respect and quit ffs
Adam Baker
getting into prestigious consulting firms or banks or medical/law schools was so much easier for boomers.

I think the issue is that once you give an idea or invention to a company, they have no reason to reward you anymore. You've played your hand already.
Unless your job is specifically research related or your trying to add a few lines on your resume (to get a better job somewhere else), you should be keeping your good ideas to yourself.
Xavier Nelson
>you should be keeping your good ideas to yourself. Pay attention to what this user wrote, lurkers; this is extremely important.

I did (2 years ago), however I quit before landing a better job somewhere else and the new place I'm working at is only a small albeit noticeable improvement.
When interviewing for jobs about 2 years ago, HR made a huge deal out of why I left the last company and why I had a 3-4 month gap in my resume. Leaving a job without another one lined up puts you in a shitty place in terms of bargaining and your next employer can lowball you as a result.
Wyatt Phillips
maybe if you weren't a retard you would find an employer who respected you and then "wage cucking" wouldn't be so bad.
Samuel Turner
also be able to prove that you developed the idea outside of (((working hours))) or you'll have to convince a jury that your employer doesn't own the rights.
>then throwing them out into homelessness the day they turned 18 i knew a gen x'r at my first lab job that told me this happened to him and acted like it was a good/beneficial thing to do to your child. i went through k-12 and university but im a soviet immigrant and this "kick your kids out at 18" shit is the most retarded thing about american culture but it seems limited more to this particular generation. that dude is 12 years older than me, worked as a chef from 18-30 till he got sick of it(and developed alcoholism but was 7 years sober when i met him) and went to college and got a degree. He was 37 and started the same day I did(25) and it was also his first big boy pants job too. It's kinda pathetic desu
Easton Nelson
>also be able to prove that you developed the idea outside of (((working hours))) or you'll have to convince a jury that your employer doesn't own the rights. It's worse than that in most cases. My current job has an IP clause. So theoretically any idea I develop while employed there - whether on company time or not belongs to the company. You have to prove you developed the idea after your contract with the employer ended (ie after you resigned from the company).
I'm honestly hoping to land a government job, these IP clauses tend to not show up as often in the public sector. This way I can develop an idea in my spare time while employed in a stable job.

A £10 gift card.
Also, if you're a professional, check on the going rate for people with your experience and qualifications every 6 months or so. I didn't do that at my last job and tolerated being underpaid by 15% for 4 years. When I found my new job, my carefully-researched (so I thought) salary expectation I gave them was LOWER than what they ended up offering me.
Carson Rivera
while maybe not an option for some, he's not wrong for a lot of people. like me, ive been in a few pharma labs for 5ish years now and started working at a DUDE WEED lab last december and my mental health has greatly improved and my general well being as well. my coworkers are really nice to deal with especially when workload is big and the managers/higher ups aren't insufferable bureaucrat yesmen. I do want to get out of waging but while you wage, you do sometimes have the choice to not lose your fucking mind just trying to pay bills
Tyler Garcia
I was a consultant once, in insurance. Made good money with rare expertise - uncovering resinurance policies that applied to losses, but were not reporte to the reinsurance company.
These were big deals so we often found policies worth $10M or even more. We interviewed this guy named Keith (in the UK) who once found and recovered GBP 400million for his company.
That's like half a billion dollars.
They have him GBP500 as a one time bonus. I said "Keith if you do that for us it'll be your last day of work."
The employer pays these co-op/intern students $15/hr and the government subsidizes the business $10/hr for it.

Realising that hard work will NOT pay off is a big redpill and is way I'm hardly doing any work from home

This is why you should try to be as self-reliant as possible. It's always better to be asshole who determines who does what than being on the receiving end of the short-stick.
I'm in the process of getting my appraising license with the ultimate goal of getting an MAI, focusing solely on commercial RE appraisal. If you wanted to go the wagecucking route, you can command at least $200K a year and never have to worry about working once you clock out because of the scarcity of people with the designation and how difficult it is to obtain. If you decide to work for yourself, you can get $5k per commercial appraisal and you'll never have to worry about a shortage of work. Even if shit goes south in the economy, you'll be overflowing with work. When things get tight, people are more than willing to pay a $5k fee when hundreds of thousands, if not millions are on the line. Plus, you can always have an underfill do all the heavy lifting and only have to review the report and still get $2.5K per appraisal, all while working at home.
