50% is better than 0%.

Well man just know that 60% of the time it works every time

Everything in the world is 50% good. That’s why they need consultants to fix up the other 50%. Since each consultant does 50% good work, there is also always a need for more consultants to get closer to 100%. This is how we all have jobs.

You remind me of my manager

Not sure if this has been discussed before — my new employer's policy doesn't allow me to participate in their 401k plan immediately, only after 90 days. Wanted to see if this is a common practice (first time for me), and if your employer compensates you in any way for the lost savings opportunity.
