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

[-] ulterno@programming.dev 15 points 1 year ago

So much to evade that gap in the resume

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago

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 1 year ago

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

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

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 1 year ago

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 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

My longest vacation was 3 months.*

* …after I got laid off.

[-] PeepingTom@lemmynsfw.com 9 points 1 year ago

How many weeks are there in a year?

[-] boydster@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[-] Windex007@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.
