"But you're not considering how valuable this experience will be!"

So much to evade that gap in the resume

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 40 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What gap?

I've not been unemployed, I've been under a strict NDA for a very private employer. No, I'm not allowed their share their contact information. Sorry.

[–] foofiepie@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Hmm yeah don’t do that with any job with decent background checks.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No if you know they're gonna have to check, then you've worked for your cousin Randy at his placeofbusiness doing menialchore related to the industry.

You can confirm this by calling Mr Randolphius McGillecuddy, Esq.

[–] foofiepie@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Some background checks will look into your taxes and finances. Cousin Randy needs to be organised and rich.

Oh bollocks. How do I cancel the voicemail I left Randolphilus.

Do not let this person split up a bill for your restaurant party, folks

(I'm only joking, but I think you did the math the wrong way, $500x12=$6k)

Edit: yep.I'm an idiot, thanks folks, my poor example will stand as a testament to others, don't shame yourself publicly like this and pay attention in school!

$500 per week - 500x48=24k with 4 weeks of thankfully "unpaid" vacation

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

United States

4 weeks of vacation

Lol

If the employee “works” every day of the year they earn -$26000

[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

My longest vacation was 3 months.*

* …after I got laid off.

[–] PeepingTom@lemmynsfw.com 9 points 2 months ago (4 children)

How many weeks are there in a year?

[–] boydster@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 months ago

Well I planned for 12 apparently, so I guess I demand a lot of vacation time. I call it the Job Creator schedule.

[–] thawed_caveman@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It's per week.

500 x 4 = 2000/month

2000 x 12 = 24k

By all means i'd love to split restaurant bills with you ;)

[–] boydster@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

Oh I made the stupid mistake and projected it outwards lol, my bad, I apologize and edited my post

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

There are 52 weeks in a year not 48. 500 x 52 = 26000.

[–] Windex007@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Easy mistake to make. Also words can not describe my admiration and respect for someone who can leave a comment like this up with a humble edit.

I might double check your math if we split the cheque, but unlike 99% of the people on the internet, I already can tell that I would WANT to have a supper with you.
