  • If your employer is paying you the bare minimum, then you’re the sucker if you’re putting in more than the bare minimum of effort.

    Sure, if you work really hard you might get some recognition in the form of a thank you and perhaps a gift worth less than $50. If you do it for long enough you might get a promotion and a pay rise - but you’ll still be earning far less than the person they hired from outside to do the same job and you’ll have worked much harder for it.

    In most companies, 99% of the benefit from you working hard goes to the owners. They don’t give you any more than 1% because they don’t have to.










  • YTA. People with young kids tend to socialise way less because they dont sleep and its a lot of work. When they do socialise the kids tend to be around because organising childcare is difficult to organise, can be expensive, potentially stressful for the kids. Very frequently the options are take your kids with you to socialise, or dont socialise at all. Its why new parents suddenly start socialising a lot with other parents.

    And it might not be as bad as you think, depending on the kids. They may be happy entertaining themselves and sleeping, and you can have a relatively normal time until they wake up and get restless at which point the mum might decide its time for them to leave. Or they could be crying and screaming the whole time.
