add basketball to the mix.

​

95% of basketball courts absolutely do not have lights at night. at best they get some accidental lights from the streets that are inefficient.

or Nixon when you really think about it.

Sorry what were we talking about again? Anyway we can remain focused on the matter at hand to actually make an impact?

I'm saying IB are outliers. They're abused early but they get bonuses during that abuse at the end of the year. and if they survive 2-4 years, they work normal hours or even less for multiple millions of dollars every year.

I would never take 80 hours of week of abuse but an occasion 50-60 hours week for decent pay has it's value. Especially knowing i'll have 20 hour work weeks. And once you're established it's easier to say no to the 50 hour requests, which is why job hiring can be ageist.

It's easy to get a 21 year old to accept terrible working conditions. I remember thinking early in my career that just because I don't have kids doesn't means I'm not entitled to protecting my personal time.

NGL sounds a little bitter. I think a lot of those industry would help their employees become very well off if they paid OT. Like legally making an extra six-figure or two instead of the accepted fraud from places like the MTA / NYPD / LIRR workers.

I could be wrong but outside of finance, a lot of salaried employees who might work 60 hour weeks, have an equal number of weeks where they're thumb twiddling for barely 20 hours of work + other great benefits.

You also learn as you grow in your career on how to establish boundaries. Covid 19 and the influx of remote work helped a lot of people create a culture of this.

Is this sarcasm / joke or are your critical thinking skills on full display?

Unchecked power with no oversight. Government will no longer step up until the people are literally at war with police.

See how protests at least got us body cams that are on some of the time.

I wish we could give smokers freedom while protecting others. I hate cigarette smoke more than anything else. I wish there was a no-smoking side of the sidewalk, or it was only legal walking the opposite direction of a one way.

I'm spitballing but it really is unfair when people aren't courteous and at least try to avoid other people when they smoke.
