vbnautilus 48 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 In Bangkok its hard to miss. They have the girls dressed up and standing in a line outside the buildings. Although I suppose I didn't check their genitalia. Link to post Share on other sites

speedz99 145 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Cane, there's four places. There's the Hooker Hut, that's on third. There's Hookers-R-Us, that's on third too. You got Put-Your-Butt-There? That's on third. Swing Low, Sweet Prostitute... Matter of fact, they're all in the same complex; it's the hooker complex on third.That's my favorite episode, and I'm sorry I wasn't here to...you know.Don't google "harlequin ichthyosis". I mean it, you'll regret it if you do. I'm trying to do you all a favor by telling you that, if someone tells you to google "harlequin ichthyosis", you shouldn't. Link to post Share on other sites
Dawson Leery 12 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I can't wait to hear about Shake's paycut Link to post Share on other sites
Dread Aidan 8 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 That's my favorite episode, and I'm sorry I wasn't here to...you know.I don't think there's a single Hank Scorpio line that isn't funny. Link to post Share on other sites
speedz99 145 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I don't think there's a single Hank Scorpio line that isn't funny.I didn't even give you my coat!That was from memory, I apologize if it's a bit off.I'm fairly to mostly amazed that The Simpsons is still going...I gave up on it after season 11 or 12, and that must have been around ten years ago. I've heard a few times that there were funny episodes here and there, but since that time I haven't been impressed with any segments I've seen. Maybe the humor has changed and I wasn't watching enough to change my expectations. Link to post Share on other sites
Dread Aidan 8 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I didn't even give you my coat!Yes. And when he gives Homer sugar from his pockets. "Sorry it's not in packets!"I stopped watching a long time ago too, but I catch some of it every now and then. There have still been moments that made me laugh. Link to post Share on other sites
iZuma 764 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I can't wait to hear about Shake's paycutwell no paycut, but in addition to finding out that there's no possibility at all of any promotion until you've been in your position for two years (I've been in mine one), that even then, they won't actually raise your salary to market levels, just to slightly above what you're already making. thing is though, for those higher positions, they pay people coming in the door the actual market rates. so doing the math, in six years here on an ambitious timeline, I'd be making 46k, yet for the same exact job walking in off the street, it'd be 100k. I.. think I may have to start looking at other options, if not just for bargaining leverage. and yeah guapo, I might be starting to agree with you. Link to post Share on other sites
strategy 4 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 well no paycut, but in addition to finding out that there's no possibility at all of any promotion until you've been in your position for two years (I've been in mine one), that even then, they won't actually raise your salary to market levels, just to slightly above what you're already making. thing is though, for those higher positions, they pay people coming in the door the actual market rates. so doing the math, in six years here on an ambitious timeline, I'd be making 46k, yet for the same exact job walking in off the street, it'd be 100k. I.. think I may have to start looking at other options, if not just for bargaining leverage. and yeah guapo, I might be starting to agree with you.are they actively hiring and paying new people that, though?what did guapo say?did he happen to say anything good about me while you guys were talking?

iZuma 764 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 yeah there's actually one out there right now at that level (no, you're not qualified). if course, even though I'm actually qualified for that position and the leader of that department really wants me over there, I still can't do it no matter what because it's two notches above my current position and they don't allow "jumps."edit: oh, and no. nothing good.

speedz99 145 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 so doing the math, in six years here on an ambitious timeline, I'd be making 46k, yet for the same exact job walking in off the street, it'd be 100k.What the hell is wrong with the people running your company? I mean, did you speak up and mention the fact that this is insane? Link to post Share on other sites
iZuma 764 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 yeah I mentioned how that is a huge DISincentive for people to stay and consequently for them to develop employees. she agreed and says its one of the biggest problems they're having right now. apparently they're working on revamping some stuff right now but I'll believe it when I see it. honestly this shit's really floored me.

This can not be overstated.This sounds more like a problem that a medium sized company would have. Shake? Link to post Share on other sites
iZuma 764 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 nah we're big (no Im not saying where). and yeah, I'm probably gonna start throwing a few hooks out, if not just letting some friends know I'm officially on the lookout. like I said, at least could use another offer as a bargaining point because it sure doesn't look like they're gonna be very flexible any other way.
