Sus fingers

I don't see why. I'm employed. My employer cared that I had a college degree ten years ago, but now I have years of doing the job to point to.

So my high school diploma would have to be pulled, then two colleges would somehow have to say that made my two diplomas invalid, then my employer would have to decide they gave a shit about that more than nearly a decade of demonstrated competency.

At most, I would take a GED test for shits and giggles. I would guess math is the most difficult section for most people. I'm an engineer and use math more and more diverse applications for math frequently, so I expect it would be easy.

I gave up trying to sit for 15+ minute sessions. I have a standing desk and two barstool-height chairs of very different designs, cycling between the three options throughout my workday.

Great that I can work from home. In the office I would look like a fidgety child.

RRR rewatch. A friend hadn't ever seen a Indian epic before so introduced them to the genre.

Before that, Mantis and Killer Boksoon. Korean action thrillers about contract killers.

If it really is evolving usage, I'll pay attention once it seeps into more permanent media like music lyrics. Or when Fox News starts reporting on it as evidence of the downfall of our education system, (also kids are making toilet wine again and ingesting it through all the wrong body orifices, more at 11).

I'm too old and not cool to worry about rapid lifecycle language trends. If I pay too much attention, I might become one of those adults repeating "6-7" to show they're hip with it.

Yesssss, Z peeps, draw attention away while millennials continue to ruin other things with our avocado toast and useless degrees.

I'm a millennial but must be a couple years older. Cell phones were in high school and a small handful in middle school. '08 and '14 impacted my early career years.

Larger picture than that, I am in the same field as my father. I have a "higher" level job with more responsibilities than he did at my age. I have more education. He and spouse owned a home and supported 7 kids on his salary alone. They had medical insurance that mostly covered the needs of the one kid with serious medical issues for the few years of life. I wouldn't even consider having one kid let alone seven without a partner working and bringing in around the same amount of money as me. Any major medical issue would destroy our plans. A house as large as my parents' would require moving to some small town where there are no jobs in my field.

US. Paid twice a month. My current employer payment system is fully automated, so my paycheck shows up at the same time down to the minute. I'm also paid a set salary and expected to work 40+ hours "until the work is done" so balancing my responsibilities is up to me. Lots of so-called "professional" or "white-collar" jobs are like this. Specifically, I'm an engineering manager.

Every job I can think of has paid twice a month, even going back to minimum wage jobs I had in high school.

I've seen signs for jobs that pay daily, they are all for entry-level jobs like for a fast food restaurant position.

Two posts of this from a brand new account. Yeah, nothing weird here.

Seems like a question for the reddit sub in question.

I have to agree. My boss technically looks at one KPI for me and my team, but it's a badly lagging indicator and I can only influence less than half of it.

His real KPI for me is how many times he gets called by someone complaining about me or asking me to reassign my priorities to what they think is important. The lower the better.

A company I used to work for that made some equipment primarily used in laboratory settings wanted some photos for marketing materials. Me, being the only lady engineer there, was asked to be in them. Hair, makeup, lab coat even though I was on the machine shop floor for my day-to-day job, the works. They couldn't find a male engineer they considered photogenic enough so they asked the cafeteria manager, aka the janitor with additional duties to keep the coffee pots brewing and napkins on order. They even gave him fake glasses to make him look more studious. He did make for a way sexier scientist than I did. Straight up grey fox science man. He watched enough House MD to spout good fake medical lingo, making me laugh too hard thru the entire shoot.
