Never heard the bubble wrap trick. I just threw a bunch away last month...
She took the new job before she gave notice to the current one. Yep, that's what she says, stay too long with a job and you won't be able to get another one 'cause employers will think you ain't ambitious. When I was her age, it was all about loyalty, jump ship too many times and nobody wanted you. Glad I'm outta all that, makes me tired just thinking about it.

I thought sure my pension was going to the PGBC when the airline went chapter 11, but that was about the only thing the company didn't do to us that they could. With only 3 years left, I felt the 30% paycut was way better than getting screwed on the pension!
Daughter is pumping her 401, and this new job contributes a good sized chunk into it whether she matches or not. 401s and IRAs may very well be better than disappearing pensions, long as people put into them. If I'd had a 401 starting with my first airline paycheck, would have had well over a million in it by retirement. I thought pumping that was more secure than the pension or S.S., put as much in as I could. These young kids that don't worry about savings till they're over 40 are kissing their retirement goodbye before it starts. Lot of em don't have a pot to **** in anyway; lot of jobs in this country, not so many that pay a living wage, though.

But, look at it this way. If you stay with the same company for years or decades, you get a promotion when they give you one. Or, after you're up to speed and ready, you can look around and see if that next level of responsibility is available at a different company, and go for it.
Actually, it's been this way for a long, long time in the "newer" industries like tech.
Different world.

That's awful, ya can't get Netflix streaming in hd. Lot of their stuff is as good as my new tv gets. I get about 12 mb/sec. Cable company really improved the last 3-4 years; useta pay for 3 mb/sec, and was lucky when it actually got 300kb/sec. They finally upgraded some equipment that was over 20 years old, what a difference.
