Definition of "Golden Quarter": if your company makes most of its yearly revenue at the end of the year due to Christmas sales, congratulations, you work for a Golden Quarter company.
Dear seasonal workers: take a break. Please. Send the message that your company can't break your back for their profit anymore.
Our Christmas is going to be small this year. We already let our friends and family know, and most of them agree and are with us for this cause.
The chances of even being able to obtain the high priced electronics - from anywhere - goes down every week. No 3080s for anyone this year. No PS5s either.
A friend needs a new computer, but between myself and another friend, we have enough parts to scavenge that we can cobble together a perfectly workable rig for them that will last at least a couple of years.
We've already made the decision to actively try not to use Amazon for the foreseeable future. We've given enough money to The Beez. Same for Walmart. Most of our stuff is coming from Etsy, and from other independent maker spaces. For what it's worth, we encourage others who read this to do the same.
My point here is that we - my family and friends - fully support you taking your full 15 minute break. Go have a piss in peace. Take your full lunch. Encourage all of your coworkers to do the same. Pretend it's September 2019, back during the storming of Area 51, with one key difference: they can't fire all of you.
We hope all Christmas season workers are doing well and aren't taxed too badly this year.
> Investors purchased a record $64 billion worth of homes as growing housing and rental prices boosted prospects for returns.
> Single-family homes made up nearly three-quarters of investor purchases—an all-time high.
> Low-priced properties represented 36% of investor purchases, the smallest share on record.
> Investors had the largest market share in Atlanta, Phoenix, Charlotte, Jacksonville and Miami, meaning many homes they bought face high flood and heat risk.
The third quarter marked the 5th quarter in a row of 3%+ growth (average of 4.65% a quarter). Those 5 quarters also saw the highest level of overall real estate appreciation in history (23%).
Luckily loans aren't being given out to fraudulent applicants. And as we all know, the only way real estate can drop is if the exact same conditions from that one drop that one time 13 years ago happens again.
First Time Homebuyers as a percentage of all homebuyers is now at a historic low of 30%.
Anyone have any idea when this thing is going to pop? I thought it would keep going up with inflation but maybe it will cool when the interest rate goes up?
When you return after you've been evacuated, if there's actually a serious destruction of property due to the weather at least you'll have a quarter saved up to help pay for all of the damages.
So my husband applied to work at the home depot warehouse, he has orientation soon and they offered him the job. Recently his drug test and and background check came back. His background check was great and clear but he got a call for having weed in his system (used medicinally). Will this affect him getting the job at the warehouse?
