Tipping culture is out of control

How is that a resolution? Just seems like you’re giving yourself an excuse to be miserly.

I think it depends on each person.

I agree that to some, this exercise may be setting them up to be miserly

But I am always ashamed to type in my desired tip when the machine prompts me (25,30,35?) so having the nerve to stand up to it and tip your desired amount even if it may make the person behind think you are a miser is a good resolution.

And you know what, no, the 5 dollar coffee does not merit a 2 dollar tip

$0.00

I’ve been making a conscious effort to really think about whether it makes sense to tip in the situation. So far in most cases, the answer has been no.

Private equity associate…. Yup that tracks

Google says a private equity associate earns $140,000-$300,000/year, and you're worried about giving an extra dollar to some dude behind the counter at a coffee shop who's making minimum wage without health care coverage and probably still living at home because he can't afford his own apartment , even with multiple roommates.

Tipping is 100% optional, give whatever you want. But JFC, maybe time to grow up a little.

Negotiation in new offer: I’m moving from fully remote to fully in office (with chance of hybrid later) offer for associate director in quality in pharma for 170k base, 18% bonus and 75k equity. I’ve asked for a sign on bonus as I’m not eligible for annual next year and will be missing my current jobs bonus. I should hear tomorrow (asking for 28k). Thoughts about the offer? Should I ask for more equity or is that standard? They’re public (currently ~$20)should I get the hybrid option in writing?

Hi all,
I just moved here so this might be a dumb question so please don’t judge. Why does my laundry smell like pee and how can I fix it? I used a common washer and dryer in my building. Is it because of that? Is it mold? Is it the water? I air dry my workout leggings and they all smell really weird and I don’t know what to do 😔
