1lb ground beef
2 cans sweet corn
2 cans of kidney beans
Two cans diced tomatoes
1 can tomato paste
Taco seasoning (I buy McCormicks from Costco so I have no idea how many packets)
In a large pot brown the beef
Once browned open all cans and put them in the pot, juice and all
Heat to simmer and add taco seasoning with your heart
Serve with a dollop of sour cream and/or some shredded cheese on top
White bread
Put ketchup on bread
Put Kraft single on top
Put in the oven under the broiler until the cheese melts and the edge of the bread crisps
Eat it over the sink in order to not kill your mother by disrespecting the plates with that garbage
Realize you’re still hungry and make 3 more
Mine sucks because it’s the best job I’ve ever had. Planned on staying as long as they’d keep me (just under 5 years it turns out) and had no plans at all to even poke around at other roles.
The silver lining is I’ll prob get a nice pay increase since I’ve been pretty underpaid at this place as it’s an NPO.
Reminds me of the time when I worked in a sprint retail store and one day we came in and the power was cut, there was no internet, and all our logins that we could access from our mobile devices worked.
We were told there was a clerical error and all was good.
Two months later when they were shutting down our store they admitted they were planning to shut down the store and were just two months early with the logistics.
I got my BA in organizational communication, so I feel that I can speak to this. There is definitely a direct correlation with the size of a company and the complexity of running the company. It gets compounded when your company is high profile like Wikipedia is because it winds up becoming political really quick, as stupid as that is. The only way to keep a company ‘not complicated’ is to keep it perfectly flat, which is impossible once you get up to around 25 employees, at which point the CEO is directly managing everyone and can’t do their job running the company.
Now the question of deserving to get paid more is pretty nuanced imo. Does a person deserve to be paid more because they work harder? If so, service industry workers should be some of the top paid people. Or should compensation be determined by impact to the companies bottom line? Or perhaps correlated with personal risk in the role? What about volume of work? Or difficulty of work? I don’t think it’s as simple as asking if they deserve it so much as asking what the company can pay and the value add the executive makes. But this is a bit of a blue sky scenario where there’s equity in how we pay people rather than this obscene good old boys club where executives all smell their own farts and pat each other on the back for doing so.
I do think that higher level positions with higher levels of responsibility (which will be different based on numerous factors, including size and complexity of the company) should be paid more than lower levels. But I also think there should be a cap on the wage disparity between the lowest and highest earners.
I got a vasectomy as a way of dealing with it.
