Citing revenue declines, Airbnb cuts 25% of workforce

I've had it both ways, and prefer it biweekly. That way, I can build my budget based on 2 pay periods, and have the occasional 3rd paycheck in a month go immediately toward savings.

Biweekly is easier for the employee, semimonthly is easier for bookkeeping.

I've had it biweekly including in my first "tech" job. I made enough that paying bills wasn't really an issue and having the "extra" paycheck for savings seemed almost like free money towards savings/paying off loans.

On the other hand, I understand people who are on tighter budgets who would rather have their revenue better aligned with their expenses rather than having to balance them on their own.

Same for me. It feels like getting a bonus two months a year.

That works for people who build savings.
