isn’t money weird?

[scaredyclassic]

it feels like inflation is inevitable, doesn’t it? it feels like there has to be a limit to how low prices and wages can go? It feels like things cannot be really different than they basically are today. feels like there has to be a bottom that’s pretty much near the bottom we have.

my views on money were pretty much set by pink floyd in the 70’s

“money, so they say is the root of all evil today but if you ask for a rise it’s no surprise they’re giving none away. away. away.”

maybe we are in some sort of horrifying deflationary spiral that will takes us to some unimaginable lack of money. maybe there is no rise coming.

it would be so weird, wouldn’t it….

maybe we get what we least expect.

maybe the jig is up.

Just get a City Job, they get cost of living raises almost every year.
Plus they are generally not salary so if you work 60 or 70 hours in a week you get over time,

Just try doing that at a tech company…

Just kidding sort of.

The hourly rate can be done in the tech field… contractors do it all the time.

My husband (architect, not tech) has negotiated hourly pay for the last 10 years… he explains to his potential employer that when times are slower, he doesn’t draw a salary… It helps that I pay the benefits so that’s a non-issue for the employer.

It can be done if the company is small or if the person is willing to be a contractor rather than a direct employee if the company is larger.
