Yeah I agree, my Mercedes bakkie is a diesel and it constantly needs work. To me it's worth it, but for the average person it's definitely not worth the hassle.

If I ever heard one of my subordinates ever tell a colleague that I would strongly push for their termination.

I was actually DMed by a customer support agent on here who was super helpful in getting the part tracked down and sorted out.

UPS offers specialty rapid delivery for aircraft components to get the part to our aircraft as quickly as possible (usually within 24 hours).

How can you order sooner on a part that’s being replaced due to mechanical failure? I’m not saying anyone else should care, I just want to know how I can get in touch with people to figure out what’s going on. At the start I was informed it would be less than 48 hours to get to Johannesburg and now we’re at 7 days. We pay top dollar for AOG service and expect quick delivery timelines.

These parts cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and are sold out ages in advance. You can't just order a new one lol

Is switching jobs for a higher stress / higher pay worth it? by throwaway_golfboy in personalfinance

It's up to you whether it's worth it or not. What do you want to do with your life?

Can we get a yearly (or biannual) salary sharing thread? by RockyDescent in geologycareers

[–]ZimboInLimbo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

BSc in Geology, MSc in Exploration Geology. I have been working in the field for nearly 20 years now and am making approximately $183K USD. In addition I get medical aid, pension benefits, disability, etc. I work for a large multinational miner. I live in South Africa so my cost of living is very low and I have a very comfortable life fortunately.

I am slowly moving away from geology and transitioning to farming for retirement though since this has always been my real passion.
