For the past year, I've been doing some cost cutting at retail to save a few bucks.
Now that I'm in a better situation financially, I'm still doing the trends.

I've managed to buy clothing and shoes at cheaper prices.

Mind sharing your strategies? I am one cheap bastard and love nothing more than saving a buck.

Clever, young man. Just wait until you are out on your own with a mortgage and car (Mazda, not BMW) payment.

I've always wanted to own a dog and name him after a Canuck. He's a very good boy.

I've got a great dog name picked out for when I get a dog, named after a Canuck, and I ain't telling.

Bo is good too. My brother's next dog he says is going to be Gino.

Aww, Loui is a great dog name.

 

[Captain Bowie]

LOL, no.

 

[PG Canuck]

the name is obviously Bulis.

 

[DFAC]

the name is obviously Bulis.

Whenever Bulis comes up, I think of this sweet play he made. Man how did Jeff Cowan play 400+ NHL games lol

 

[Captain Bowie]

I only think of two things:

 

[Huggy43]

Sorry for the delay guys!

Are you in the private or public sector?

No, public sector.

Also not a contracted worker.

I don't have experience in this specific scenario, but I work for an employee-owned company, meaning the company is fully owned by the employees. Every year we have an opportunity to buy shares in the company, and it has been a pretty damn good rate of return since I started. But I digress...

That sounds like something that should be in writing and/or in your contract. If the company has mentioned it but hasn't done anything to commit to it, that sounds a little fishy. Is it like stock options in lieu of raises or other benefits?

Unfortunately like I mentioned, we’re not contracted workers so it’s not in writing anywhere. It does sound similar to your experience & not really in lieu of raises but more of an incentive for workers to work hard & grow the company. We’re small... like 6 employees & ownership.

I’m not sure if it’s fishy or not, as ownership are good people & treat us great. I’m just wondering how long it should take.

 

[Captain Bowie]

Maybe... just ask them?

 

[Bam19]

Let’s not get crazy here and go with the easiest most logical approach

 

[EpochLink]

No, public sector.

I work in private and we employees don’t get stock/shares.

If y’all in public and your company decides to invest in shares then yeah, all the power to you.

Congratulations to your team.

What makes you think I haven’t already done that numerous times???

The whole reason I’m trying to find out this info for myself is for the next time I ask about it....

 

[Captain Bowie]

Ok, ok, settled down Huttsy.

I don't have any knowledge on your exact situation. I'd just ask them again, unless of course it's been like a week since you last discussed it.

 

[Hit the post]

the name is obviously Bulis.

PG's dog throws hits like this:
