1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Nice! Be prepared for what you might have to do/say if your current full time gig wants to counter the offer from the new place (salary wise at least)

 

SPEK UP

SOUND LIKE WORDS OF A TINEE MAN HAHAHAHA

 

That's not a bad amount of time, given the circumstances! Glad it's worked out for you

 

woah, congrats! that's a big fucking deal! I hope that they treat you well.

You've definitely earned that extra pay... let me know when you want to buy some Tacoma parts

 

like most issues that require fixing in my life the hardest part was getting started. Actually fixing it was easy.

 

I can’t remember the last time I went to theater, way before COVID for sure.

think they’re open here, hmm

 

The dude who quit/fired had been there almost 30 years and was only just at what I'll be making, I figured they wouldn't be able to afford giving me that much of a pay raise but your right I didn't consider them counter offering


Fuck.... I don't know what I would say/do if they do offer that

 

I've found steep but short drops feel less precarious at 3/5 mph vs riding the brakes at a fraction of a mph for me anyway

It was just a habit I got into with the crap tires that came on my 01 runner that would slide down anything that wasn't dry pavement

 

Well you might be right then, they may not be able to afford to meet what you're being offered. In that case (I don't know these people at all so I'm just guessing), they might be disappointed you're leaving but hopefully they will understand you're doing what you have to do for yourself and your family.

 

do they let you watch R rated movies?

 

At the end of the day business is business and you have to take care of you and yours

 

They do but they're watered down just like their beer

Every swear word is replaced with Jehovah

The Joker was the last movie I saw

The rubs are free but the tugs will cost you

 

lol

I grew up in conservative country. My friend had a Clearplay DVD player that would automatically censor swears and skip stuff like sex scenes etc. It was hailed as revolutionary

 

That probably woulda been intense in a theater

that movies dark asf

 

Thanks, it's a huge deal for me because that's an extra 16k a year before taxes and I'm currently already at the most I've ever made in my life. With that kinda cash I'll be 100% debt free with a lil extra in savings in only a year

They'll definitely treat me right, the new owner was very concerned on my behalf because he knows, career wise, it's technically a demotion for me. But I'll be a shop lead essentially and work with the in house engineer on new equipment designs and prototyping so I won't just be "an assembler"

 

My boss got paid $250 to pay me $20 to remove an aftermarket alarm
