Are You Working Too Much Overtime?

Yep. I knew an employee who told the powers that be that such and such wasn’t in his job description, and exactly as you said, he was shown the line in his contract that says basically you’ll do what we ask, or you won’t have a job.

My employer is great, we have a lot of flexibility on the job, but we’ve all also had to take on additional responsibilities...I’m doing more but am grateful for a job.

Why would you have left off a kee piece of information from the direct quote that you used?

“Ramsey attributed the duplications to a low-level employee. Ramsey offered refunds to the newspapers affected by the error.”

Do you live a perfect life? If not, then when you make mistakes do you offer to correct them?

You can be a fan or not be a fan, I don’t really care. However you should be very careful in your false slamming of any other person.

[CSM]

Envy much?

[CSM]

With every post, you prove yourself to be a fool.

[CSM]

You make it possible for your hubby to work to much overtime!

;-)

[LomanBill]

>>Envy much?

 

Nope.   The Name it and Claim it "gospel" just leads here:

 

Rom 1:25-26
25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator — who is forever praised. Amen.

 

26 Because of this, God gave them over...
NIV

 

Nah, Shill - Some of us didn't / don't need worms like Dave Ramsey to have common sense.

 

Just a coindikink, of course, a certain subject is evidently never mentioned on the temple steps...

It's almost funny how so much of the advertising on so-called "christian" radio is from the debt industry and targeted at what's evidently perceived as a gullible audience ready for the fleacing.

 

Almost - until it becomes self-evident how "Fiscal Conservatism", isn't.

[LomanBill]

>>With every post, you prove yourself to be a fool.

Matt 5:22

 

22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
KJV

Have a nice day.

[LomanBill]

[Why would you have left off a kee piece of information from the direct quote that you used?]

Because I wanted YOU to point out that Ramsey evidently doesn't, necessarily, write "Ramsey's" column.

Thank you.

What does that say about the character of the "show"? Given that history, it's reasonable to wonder what else about the "show" is just that....

Do you get many nibbles by running these commercials on FR?

“It’s almost funny how so much of the advertising on so-called “christian” radio is from the debt industry”

Which of course is not endorsed by DR.

If you have such a hatred of him, why are you on this thread.

[CSM]

Let me guess, you are a whole life insurance salesman.

[MortMan]

As a corollary, I find that any work performed after 10 hours in a day will require revisitation. When one gets that brain-weary, one ceases to be productive, in 95+% of cases.

That, at least, has been my experience.

[LomanBill]

You don't think affinity fraud is a relevant subject when financial advice is rendered in a religious context?  

 

Given the increasingly widespread occurence of it, I'd expect that would be one of the first subjects addressed by someone who allegedly had the financial best interests of members of the Body of Christ in mind.

 

Maybe "Dave Ramsey" - or, as you've so graciously alleged, one of the subordinate employees who pretends to be him whilst writing his column - should write a column about it.

 

[LomanBill]

>>Let me guess, you are a whole life insurance salesman.

 

Nope

"you should be very careful in your false slamming of any other person."

Good advice that.  Follow it yourself, much?

[LomanBill]

>>That, at least, has been my experience.

Depends. You’re right - beyond a certain point there are diminishing returns; but I generally find I write better code late at night when there fewer distractions.

And sometimes, those diminishing returns work for the benefit of those who build bureaucratic mazes (and obfuscated code) - that systemically corrupt games are run within.

A terrified and exhausted craftsman is a more easily coerced craftsman...

[LomanBill]

[A terrified and exhausted craftsman is a more easily coerced craftsman...]

Most of the time.

[CSM]

It is pretty difficult to commit “fraud” when the advice is free. In all honesty, I was able to follow the advice without spending one dime on any DR product. I have however, purchased a few of his books as gifts. I make those purchases when he has them on sale for $10, so I am not risking much.....

What is your personal problem with Dave? You seem to have enough of one that you have used half truths, unfounded accusations and outright envy in your mudslinging. What is it?

[eclecticEel]

You hired me for 20 hours a week, and you have just given me about 40 hours of work.

So then, it takes two weeks to get it all done. i fail to see the problem.

[CodeToad]

“... elect congressmen who won’t make it so expensive and risky for your boss to hire more people.
“

Exactly. Every new employee now costs significantly more than it used to. This is one reason unemployment is staying down. Every company, even ones making good profit like our, is laying off. We just let 12+ people last week and there will be more to follow.

[LomanBill]

>>have used half truths,

For example?

[LomanBill]

>>i fail to see the problem.

 

eclecticEel's boss: We had to let Bob go because of budget constraints.   Here are Bob's uncompleted change orders. They are now your change orders.  The Company needs these ALL of your change orders (you had 40 hours of work before inheriting Bob's) implemented by the end of the week to make the Widgetware 3.1a release date.  Happy coding.

 

eclecticEel: But there's 80 hours of work there.  No way!  I've got personal commitments and I'll have it done by the end of next week.

 

eclecticEel's boss: This is Mahmud .  Mahmud is gay and has no personal commitments;  we're sponsoring Mahmud's H1B.  Mahmud likes the United States and wants to stay here.  We "understand" your commitments - so Mahmud has agreed to take on your change orders in addition to his own.   Please familiarize him with the system.

 

eclecticEel: Great, thanks Boss - you're so understanding!

 

You familiarize Mahmud with the system; then security hands you an envelop from HR, escorts you from the building, and you receive your personal belongings in a week or so via UPS. 

 

You're Terminated, just like Bob.  

 

Mahmud moves into your cubicle and puts his "partner's" photo where the photo of your wife and kids used to be.

 

That IS how it works in right to work/hire/fire states - ESPECIALLY given the accelerated trend toward the progressive, collective, demoralization of corporate Amerika;   and Daaaaave Ramsey is Full of Fairy Shyte if he pretends otherwise.
