O Board of DirectBitches,
In a few months I’ll be up for a promotion in which I will likely move from hourly to salaried. Do you have any info on the pros and cons of either?
Pros of salaried:
You don't have to track your hours!
You can predict your earnings for the entire year.
If you complete your work, you don't have to just keep at it to fill an hourly quota.
Salaried employees usually get other benefits that can include PTO, health insurance, a retirement fund, etc.
With the exception of some specialized fields, salaried workers generally make more money than hourly workers.
Cons of salaried:
Overtime pay is... not a thing. So if you need to work longer to get your work done, you don't necessarily get compensated more.
Pros of hourly:
Overtime pay! The more you work, the more you get paid.
Cons of hourly:
It's hard to predict what your income will be.
There's no law that says hourly workers are entitled to a consistent schedule. So good luck trying to squeeze together multiple part-time hourly jobs if you have no idea when you'll be needed at work.
Hourly workers typically do not receive additional benefits besides pay.
You might be required to file taxes quarterly instead of annually.
With the exception of some specialized fields, hourly workers generally make less money than salaried workers.
I've done both and personally, I have preferred being a salaried worker. Here's more on the benefits that typically come with a salary:

i mean the truth is that we do not need and should not have all this stupid plastic clutter in or houses. no one should be producing or selling this shit. everyone make your own merchandise and charge a living hourly wage to sell it 🤷 sorry to be so simplistic about this but it's one of the results of the lack of class unity specifically in the means of production-owning creative class, who is not mentioned or dealt with by the core Marxist texts as far as I know (i asked about this earlier on here, did marx ever address in his analysis people like, for example, a professional photographer who owns a camera ans prints his own dagguereotypes? or a portrait painter or idk, independent milliner or seamstress? these people all own the means of production and do not employ anyone, and the answer from better educated people than I was that no, Marx didn't mention them), I'm not well read on this at all, there is just a big void where leftist analysis of what modern economists call "the creative class"
I'm getting off topic. my point is make your own keychains in your kitchen. it's actually not hard. you can even mass produce (on a small scale) little plastic crap if you want, with resin and a UV lamp, or a 3d printer, or a laser cutter and acrylic sheets (or just use balsa wood damn, at least its biodegradable and less tacky).
all this stuff is available to little creators AND there are hundreds of people who already own these machines who will take work for you and produce your designs. you just have to actually find them and know them and email them. that's what I mean about the class unity issue with creatives. we have no large scale union, we have no large scale class consciousness, and we're all sending our orders for little plastic crap to sweatshops instead of emailing a guy with a laser cutter in his garage and saying "hey Keith can I get uhhhhhhhhhhh 50 laser cut keychains of this twerking Diggler design I made, like how much would that cost" and he's like sure here's the work and materials cost and tbh it's always always less than i think it's going to be. you just have to do some basic arithmetic and then order shipping, and I hate order fulfillment with my life but you can actually pay or barter with someone to do that for you too. learn to delegate and then factor that into your unit cost. this is basic shit every commercial creator needs to know. they should teach you this in art school but they dont
don't give me crap about "I can't afford a laser cutter" either because I just told you to email Keith. and all these machines get sold secondhand when a manufacturer or hobbyist needs to upgrade. i got a color laser printer perfect for making zines and wheatpastes and shipping labels from a retired lesbian on capital hill for $75 and it was still full of ink. my friend gave me her 20 year old canon dslr because she just didn't need it and didn't want to bother selling it. it works fine because I spent the time finding the right drivers and shit for my computer. and card readers exist. Craigslist. Facebook marketplace. nextdoor sales section. eBay. everyone always forgets eBay. eBay lets you save searches and will email you when it finds a guy selling his vinyl plotter in your city with local pickup. I'm serious

anyway speaking of Varric being a mob boss, nowhere has this been made more apparent than in playing a Cadash. You would Think that a rogue Carta agent adrift in a sea of variably-hostile humans would latch right onto Varric in early Inquisition (also a criminal! and another dwarf! and dragged around by Cassandra against his will!) and it's not that Bodkin *didn't* do that, exactly, but I think Bodkin is
a) cunning enough to see through a lot of Varric's bullshit from day 1
and more importantly b) like he knows?? who Varric Tethras is?? the humans know Varric Tethras is a famous author but any Carta worth their salt is gonna know that Varric is descended from a fuckin once-noble house of Orzammar with Paragon(s) and a king and Steward of the Assembly in their line, and he's only one generation removed from allll that prestige, and also rich as hell thanks to Bartrand. He's a voting member of the prestigious Merchant's Guild, as much as he is always saying that they're after him. Even when he was pretending to be an idle younger brother with a writing habit, he was still running a spy network and by this point it definitely rivals Leliana's. Not to mention Varric and Hawke personally kill off Carta gang members in da2 so odds are good a Cadash tasked with spying on the Conclave knows about that too.
all of which to say the vibe of Cadash meeting Varric Tethras is one where like: you're a grunt, maybe a medium-level grunt, and you're having the worst day of your life. You've just stumbled out of the Fade, you get threatened with execution, and the next guy you meet is The rival mob boss, and you just have to grin and bear it in front of all these trigger-happy humans

Salary transparency in the hiring process has become my sacred battleground. Few things get this money nerd’s hackles up like the unfair, unethical, and straight up bullshit practice of salary secrecy. This righteous fury is bursting out of me and it can no longer be contained!
Because let’s be honest: no one gets a job because they’re enthusiastic about the contents of the company’s vending machine or the color of its cubicle walls. We work jobs for the compensation. We work to earn an income that will support ourselves and our families. Money, health insurance, retirement funds… all of this is far more important to a job candidate than anything else an employer has to say in the job description.
Job candidates want to know they can afford to work a job before they apply. They don’t want to wait through two interviews and a job offer to find out if the compensation will pay their rent and student loans. To pretend otherwise is ludicrous, irresponsible, naïve, and insulting.
So put a salary range in the job description, you fucking cowards.
Keep reading.

I was able to travel to Scotland once and my very first time eating at a cafe when it came time to pay there was no way to add tip to my charge and I didn’t have any cash.
I literally sat there sweating getting ready to explain that I needed to leave but that I’d run to find an ATM and come back to leave a tip (I’m also socially anxious). Finally I went up to the server who was near the front counter and explained that I was very sorry I didn’t have cash for a tip and couldn’t add it to my charge slip. Before I could explain my ATM plan she started laughing and joked “oh black marks for you then!” And just laughed, assured me it was absolutely fine and sent me on my way. She wouldn’t hear of it.
When I told my Scottish friend she educated me that server’s minimum wage is an American idea and that every server I met in Scotland was making at least the hourly minimum (and they have the NHS) so she said that as a disenfranchised American I should keep my money and just not tip while i was there (I still tipped, just less).

Then pay service workers a living a fucking wage, asshoels.
Actually, no, not just a living wage, a thriving wage. Pay them more than CEOs, they provide more value to society.

All I see is Y/N being at their mercy once they recognize the poor janitor. What if they just assume they're being a good listerner by not talking. Like if one of em is having a bad day they just snatch Y/n mid task for cuddles and to vent.
Ah this is about the rlgl au right?
Well that would be a super dangerous game to play because the staff is strictly forbidden contact to the bots or the clients, so if they ever got caught doing that y/n would definetly be fired, even if they werent at fault. Fazbear policy
This also means that if y/n wants to keep their job they cant openly help sun or moon if anything happens at work, and they cant be spotted with sun or moon while off the clock or that little oversight of management (overlapping adresses of staff and bots) could be discovered
lets see how long y/n will be able to keep the distance to the celestial twins befor those idiots worm their way into y/n s heart

it sounds good, but few part-time jobs provide a pension plan, paid sick leave, vacation leave, FMLA, short and long term disability insurance. and medical, dental and vision insurance or plans
All need to be factored in when you consider value. And building social security is also important for the long haul and part time takes longer to build for quarter calculations.
A lot of gig jobs just don't consider any of this. And if you are working and depending on tips, if it is not declared, it doesn't count toward SS.
Good luck whichever direction you go. I am glad to be out of it. A happy retiree.

Heyo, I wanted to let you all know that I have a Ko-fi page where I offer commissions for those that have been wondering about wether I take them or not :D
In this case a "sketch" commission is a colored clean sketch and very basic shading, no background.
The exceptions are the Quick Sketch, which is a timed rough monochrome portait sketch, and the Lower Decks style (a fullbody artwork in the STLD style)
Maybe there's something there for you :D !
(delivery times may vary, as I have to watch my wirst pain)

Over 1 million hourly workers make minimum wage in the United States. Everyone agrees it's unlivable.
