Can someone explain me how pensions work? Isn’t that some sort of 401k that is tied to the company and you lose access to when you switch companies?
I have a 2% pension. So, every year I work at this company, they add an additional 2%. When I retire, I will get paid that percentage of my salary for the rest of my life. It will be based on what my salary is at the time I retire. So, if I work there for ten years, for example, I’d continue getting paid 20% of whatever my final salary is after I retire.
a pension ensures trust between employee and employer.
I believe if you leave, you lose it.
if they fire you without an acceptable reason, they lose it.
the longer you work there the harder it is to fire you without it hitting the company.
Sounds like a raw deal. It’s nice to have severance package but the price is losing your pension if you leave… not worth it. Companies change, get shitty, and then you’d be stuck with it.
As somebody who got made redundant last week and is facing the shit heap of a job market right now.
Yes, be thankful if you have a job.
What was your job?
I noticed that was happening months ago luckily. I was going to quit but now…not so much.
It’s called “taking control over your life” and it has the cumbersome effect of giving the illusion that one has control over one’s own life. A common phrase would be “If you just worked harder you wouldn’t be so poor.” There is solace in the power over one’s own life, so much so that people ignore that this power is getting eroded day by day. Because admitting this is very scary, even moreso if one has people depending on them.
Is that Mac from 1992 going to work until it is dead?
IT budget went to CEO stock options
Oh I was going to say he paid a rich guy way too much $$$$ for a NOS (new old stock) vintage Mac!
That appears to be a Macintosh 128K and I can confirm that the one my dad got in 1984 still functions. It’s not really useful for much these days, but it does work, and you can play Math Blasters, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, and it even has a monochrome paint program.

My dude pick a fucking lane
But why did he need to write it in cum on the wall?
Is that why all of his veins are popping out?
It’s the measles, it got his brain.
Was wondering if those were supposed to be veins or wtf they were.
Those are veinsss? I thought they are Bovine Tapeworms
Brainworms
If you’re not making billionaires become trillionaires, WHAT THE FUCK IS THE PURPOSE OF YOUR WORTHLESS LIFE?¿
Get back to work.
Lol, like we’re not gonna be replaced by AI. You’re lucky to even have a job.
I liked my original Mac too, but certainly missed the deluxe keyboard and two-button mouse. :S
