I have 3 kids, my oldest having just turned 5. I pay $4k/month in daycare and will get a break starting in September. My wife and I have been fortunate enough to have a decent career so we are super lucky.

This is a big reason why people delay and say they can’t afford kids.

Absolute trash if you ask me. Pre and post PE.

Is this same thing as Ice House or have they rebranded?

I actually shared this listing with my wife a couple weeks ago. I think it’s priced right to get plenty of looks. Market just kind of slow I suspect.

Battery is laughable compared to Garmin..

This is true. My old employer was F500 whose DNA is engineering based and a lot of back office engineering done in India. The best climb the ranks there locally and then the top minds of that crop make jump over to US. The best of those move into leadership in the US office and then hire a lot of Indians locally. The HR leader needs to understand this talent strategy and pipeline and therefore is oftentimes Indian as well to facilitate this process.

The reality is most of those getting hired on are smart, hardworking and good people (plenty of bad apples too, just like US population) that come from a different culture and country. The reality also is that it’s taking away from the dwindling employment opportunities in the US.

It is a near term cost play for the company. Long term, I think it stifles innovation and execution.
The US companies have a duty to maximize profits for shareholders and they don’t care how it comes so long as it’s sustainable enough to last until the next quarter’s earnings release.

I basically gave it up and still feel like shite running on limited sleep all the time with a young and busy family. So I don’t need to pile on top.

I do look back on those nights fondly though, lots of good laughs and memories.

Paying above average for below average results.

My buddy is a construction manager on the site. He said the infrastructure for the nearest city cannot handle the trucks. They are paying handsomely. Sounded like oil field services type of situation where someone could make a mint providing support services like man camps and catering.

He said he was looking for Whit to talk about whether they hit the spread or not. At least that’s what I heard. Sounds like an inside joke.

This is the part that gets me. He sits and lectures us about defense first team and blah blah blah. Dude, go look back at the elite defense we had which carried us to the Alabama rematch the National Championship game..::where we got embarrassed. We can do the eye test, it ain’t hard.

You gotta have some semblance of offense. Otherwise you are just wasting another year.
