Well I've clocked in for work, I'm not supposed to go anywhere and I can't swing by headquarters to grab anything I'd need for paperwork so I'd say that this has been a successful day at work. 8 hours of pay for doing fuck all here I come!

Time to read a good book, then. Theoretically that should make you a better employee, so it's all good.

Exactly, if nothing else it results in me not applying because I don't want to waste my time applying and interviewing just to find out I'd be getting paid next to nothing.

most jobs don't post salary. Best you get is a range. Unless its a union job, salary is negotiable

Oh no no, no more cricket. You'll be getting a baseball team, an American football team, and you'll be expected to put forth a couple NASCAR drivers. Welcome to America, you can keep your football team though.

You want to keep the fuckin' Warriors? You could get one of the great international teams of Cricket or one of the only Rugby teams that's beaten the All Blacks but you'd want our Football team?

America's not worth, I'd rather become a state of Australia to that.

The more you make the less it happens.

Negotiating salary is a big pain in the ass. And the reason I think it is, is because folks don't like putting a value on themselves.

However lots of places give advice on it, and on how to interview. It is well worth preparing for an interview.

A quick thing in salary negotiation

Fun thing, the other day I was looking up houses in my hometown and I could buy a house outright for 8,000 USD. The house is twice the size of my current house and I have to pay 600 a month in rent alongside by roommate. I could buy a house in a nice neighbourhood in Harare for only 30,000 USD. The economy may be utterly gone right now but those are move back home prices right there.
