Any tips on approaching conversation with partner on getting year back? Hired on a few months ago and asked to take a year cut because I was not coming from a market firm. I have spent the last few months trying to prove myself and I believe that the partner sees me as an asset to the team. I understand it may be a “no, this is what you agreed to” but I want to at least try.

I was successful negotiating that during my year-end review, when I got a glowing review. It was a tough convo, and got significant pushbsck during the meeting. I was sure after the meeting they would come back and tell me no, but they bumped me back up to my class year. Ymmv.

Thank you! That’s very helpful. I am definitely worried that they will flip the script on me and I am just trying to prepare as much as possible. I appreciate the insight!

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.

Any craft beer brewers here?

In the last two year I’ve gotten more and more into alcohol free beer. The selection in my country (Europe) is still small and mainly driven by the big brands (e.g. Heineken). My idea is to start my own small brewery which only produces alcohol free beer as a bit of a pendant to the booming local craft beer industry. Any thoughts on that idea or someone who has experience in the market?

Wanted to share some advice for anyone looking at track saws. I just bought the bare WEN 6.5” unit ($145.29) and paired it with the Powertec guide rail set ($119.89) and came away with a solid setup at a (comparatively) cheap price ($265).

I was considering the Makita ($585) or Dewalt ($790) setups since those are my normal go-to brands, but couldn’t stomach the cost.

Highly recommend it!
