Before those apps appeared (and still to this day), people who needed extra money to make ends meet would approach people who might have work for them: offering to clean windows for locally-owned downtown businesses, walking dogs, mowing lawns, cleaning houses, detailing cars, doing odd fix-it jobs for homeowners. It requires some social skills to get going, and it works better if you bring consistency to it, but it also pays better and sucks less. Unfortunately, the places you can approach people are dwindling (by design) as we allow ourselves to become more averse to interaction, so it’s harder than it used to be.

She’s in a long term relationship with a woman, but she’s fluid. Everyone is in with a chance

That seems wild, since her face is clearly visible.

I hope IKEA is reading this. People want a GETKILLING stuffed goat in the soft toys dept please

Is there no triage?

no YOU’RE a frickin’ C

There are a lot of different types of work.

Yes, that’s a cover letter.

maybe add a little letter of why you think you are the right person for the job…something short

You’ve succinctly described a cover letter :)

In reality, he didn’t tell them shit and they thought he was on the plane with them.

Are your CVs typically just bullet points about experience and education?

If the 20x is correct, you may be talking about the difference between $50/year and $1,000/year to operate it, so after five years you could buy quite a nice new fridge with the savings.

What’s the advantage? It sounds like you’d need significant air clearance all around (including in back) instead of just the back?

For anyone else about to look up if Britney died recently: I just checked, and no

I’m curious, where are you from that “American” used on its own doesn’t specifically indicate united-states-of-?

I’m not the person you’re talking to, but in today’s attention economy-centric society, there are more currencies supporting “content” markets than just money.

If question: Muscle shirts (sleeveless tees) are usually less revealing than tank tops, which are narrower at the shoulders and can have huge armholes that expose more of the torso

If riddle: idk, what?

I don’t doubt this, but I also don’t remember when they tested it, do you? What kind of failed horny lady ads am I forgetting through the years?

Part of this is accountability. As you move up, you take on more responsibility for bigger and bigger things going right or wrong. This can mean a greater potential to do big things for the company, and it can also mean a higher risk of getting fired in disgrace and becoming unemployable. Most people demand more compensation to step into such a role. Agreeing to do so means you’re becoming a more deeply embedded part of the company, so the company cares more whether you’re happy, because it’s theoretically more vulnerable now if you should go rogue.

Leadership also means you’re more likely to be thinking about work (which is itself work) outside of standard office hours, which is only possible if your compensation allows you to outsource some aspects of your life, e.g. hiring a cleaner.

And if you’re in a position that’s visible within the company or beyond, they want you looking good. Nice things, clean clothes, a lifestyle for junior employees to aspire to, and an image that projects success on behalf of the company.

Also all the reasons everyone has already named. Lots of reasons. And yeah, it should be possible to move up to the same compensation level by being good at the actual work, but capitalism = scaling = constant need for leadership. Anyway, you won’t be there forever, so if you’re really that good, the company extracts more value out of you training those coming up behind you than just rewarding you for doing the same things for 30 years.
