3.5 fuckin sucks though. That’s a pretty low bar to set imo.

I just got laid off last month and I was a revenue generator.

The decision came down from the board as a part of a total restructure that eliminated my position, which was transitioning to be in line with the ‘new’ direction. The day after I was laid off I had an 80k deal come through, and I was set to bring in double what it cost to keep me on in 2024. That revenue would have continued to grow, and now they have no one to pick up that work and carry it forward. It was a stupid decision and I let them know how I felt about it (respectfully, didn’t want to burn any bridges) in my exit interview and when I attempted to negotiate my severance.

Following our example in America I see.

Good luck!

The world could get its first trillionaire within 10 years, anti-poverty group Oxfam says ( apnews.com )

DAVOS, Switzerland (AP) — The world could have its first trillionaire within a decade, anti-poverty organization Oxfam International said Monday in its annual assessment of global inequalities timed to the gathering of political and business elites at the Swiss ski resort of Davos.

You get annual raises?

44k over here, down from 60. Also, SAVE raised my payments considerably since it’s still measuring on 10% of disposable income. It may save me money once it goes to the 5%, but I’m hoping to have a job that gives me a 40k raise by then so it may be moot for me.

But I’m super happy these folks are getting it and that Biden is making progress on this front.

Discretionary income is actually the correct term, I mis-typed when I said disposable.

And it’s anything over 225% of the poverty level in the state you live in. In my case, anything over $33,885 is considered discretionary. Last year my gross comp was $110k, so the payments were 10% of 76,115, which shakes out to about $630/month. I’m looking for work in the 120-140k range, at which point I’ll just be dumping gobs of my money into my student loan to get it paid off in a few years and be done with it.

I’m not desperate for forgiveness by any means, but life would have been much easier without these payments up until now. The 3 year hiatus gave me the opportunity to get ahead in so many things, including being positioned to buy a house a year and a half ago after a small bit of help from my (now ex) wife’s rich aunt/uncle. The gift wasn’t enough, but it got us over the hump after we were able to save all that money we were putting into the student loans.

Hey! Gen Xers! You weren’t forgotten!

Is there anyone that’s still defending brexit and calling it a good thing?

Ok, so the same type that argue that trump was the best president we’ve ever had but can’t point to a single reason why.

77 Groups Worldwide Back Genocide Lawsuit Against Biden in U.S. Court ( theintercept.com )

In late December, 77 groups — representing tens of thousands of lawyers, civil society leaders, and activists from six continents — filed an amicus brief in a lawsuit that Palestinian human rights organizations, residents of Gaza, and U.S. citizens with family members impacted by Israel’s ongoing assault brought against...

Besides, they’d be going much harder than Biden is. They agree with supporting Israel, and if Trump gets back in office and this thing is still ongoing, I wouldn’t be surprised if he tried to send troops over to help Israel.
