Re:Backcountry.com sues anyone who uses its namesake on Tuesday November 05, 2019 @02:14PM (#21455609)
I’ve been on the receiving end of one of these. I used to run the snowboarding blog bckcntry.com and was given an ultimatum by backcountry.com, either take down the blog entirely, or advertise solely for backcountry.com and receive affiliate commissions. I chose the latter.
What's amazing as well is the number of ad server requests this site sends. I've never seen my adblocker number get into the 30's before, but I guess there's a first for everything.

I just found News Feed Eradicator the other day and it has changed my Facebook habits drastically. It lets you use all of the useful features of FB (messages, groups, pages, etc.) and replaces the newsfeed with a quote about procrastination or productivity. 10/10 would recommend - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/news-feed-eradicat...
Re:Advice on how to ask for more money in the workplace on Sunday November 03, 2013 @11:28AM (#6663717)
Hi mcherm,

Thanks for the advice.

I have come to a couple of conclusions, that I can either do like you said and have a frank conversation to say that I believe that I am achieving greater than my salary represents. Or that I can have a contract on the table with another employer, come back to my current employer, and let them know that that is what I'm worth on the market elsewhere. If they decide to match that number is wholly their decision, but at least I will have that piece of mind.

Advice on how to ask for more money in the workplace

Hi there,I'm seeking advice on how to ask for more money in the workplace. I was recently given a raise that was less then desirable, even though I'm working on some of the highest valued projects within my company (and killing them, too.) I am a User Experience Designer in Seattle, WA. with 2 years experience. Any suggestions?
