KimopoBotar Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I'm so glad the gas i use for work is paid for by my company. And the mileage isn't gong on my personal car. The company truck only has 2k miles on it. I'm gonna beat that in a month. If that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I am putting a shit ton of miles on my car. I get reimbursed way more than I pay in gas but there's still other maintenance stuff to consider. Now there are other bonuses I can get. Starting in late September I'll be on call every 6 weeks or so and that's like an extra $300 I'll get just for being on call, plus overtime for if I get a call outside of business hours. Then we have productivity standards (which refers to what percent of the time we're actually with clients providing billable services). Minimum is 52% but then there are 2 levels of bonus you can hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmod_Luna Posted August 11, 2018 Author Share Posted August 11, 2018 1 minute ago, CAC said: oh shit, as long as working that much doesn't bother you. Nah I like staying busy. Plus the bonus levels really don't make that huge of a difference in how much work you're doing. Minimum is 52% which works out to about 20.8 hours a week. I think the 2nd level bonus (which is like $600) is 62% which is only like 4 extra hours a week. It's hard to maintain that average for a whole month but more due to the nature of the job (people cancel, no-show, etc.) rather than it being too much work. On call we just have to talk on the phone (I work with clients with severe mental illness so sometimes they do have crises. Our agency has a dedicated crisis line but my clients are a bit more intense so we have our own dedicated line. For the most part they just want to talk and can be de-escalated verbally but if it is a real emergency we just call an ambulance). Here's more info on what I do exactly for anyone interested <_< 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I've been through that area and it's not the best but there are parts of East Cleveland where there are literally more buildings that are abandoned than there are buildings with people actually living in them. And some of the ones that are abandoned are literally falling apart like a bomb went off or are just empty shells that no one bothered to tear down. And even the buildings that aren't abandoned are run down. There are good and and bad parts on both sides of town but the bad parts on the east side are way worse than the bad parts on the west.

If you ever go on the Good Time, they take you around there (if I'm remembering correctly) and among all the warehouse properties and whatnot is this little section of land, with a nicely groomed lawn and a very old but well upkept mobile home on it...
