I’d rather have things be more straightforward… require truth in advertising as far as comp packages. Require a certain amount of vacation time and limit working hours by law. State takeover of hellth insurance and pension systems. Life’s a lot simpler when you don’t have to negotiate, scrimp, scrounge, and plan for every damn little thing.
People in free countries that lean more towards socialism tend to be happier and more carefree.
You shouldn’t HAVE to deal with proving your previous comp package. You know what your time is worth to you. The company knows what your services are worth to them. The trick is meeting somewhere in the middle — it should be irrelevant what your services were worth three years ago when you were hired at your last job.
Flu — thank G-d for a law that bans asking about prior salary or even salary expectation. Be straightforward, list a damn salary for the job, don’t make it a guessing game.
With the salary question:
Pick too low? You look stupid and ignorant. Or are punished if you came from an academic or non-profit job.
Pick too high? You have too high expectations from the job, they might as well not call.
Let the landscaping die — no sense using plants that can’t naturally survive in SD’s climate. Replace with xeriscaping. Cheaper and lower maintenance for future tenants.
I can’t say – probably you since it came with the home.
Next time, disable it and let the tenant deal with landscaping. As long as it meets city guidelines, the neighbors are not your neighbors, know what I mean?
The problem with this is that states share resources. What if Arizona ends up with lax environmental regulations and pollutes California’s air or water supply?
FIH: Boston-DC is only suburban to a point — between about South Brunswick and Trenton, there are farms and fields. Same thing with rural Maryland and Delaware, as well as parts of Connecticut and RI.
