No. Bonuses are taxed differently and separate from normal income and thus tax return. 40% flushed away to the .gov automatically.

:notsure:

I've never had a bonus :doe: so :gtfo: anyway.
I never got a bonus before this job, so I'm mostly :aintcare: about the taxes. Unfortunately, it's part of my overall compensation, so I can ignore it entirely :doe:

Kind of a shock, first time a close friend my age has lost a parent basically due to illness/old age. I called him after work and man... Just a rough thing. He's holding up surprisingly well but definitely hurting.
It's a tough thing. My old man died when I was a teenager and I didn't really deal with it.

This may help you help him

Youre supposed to deal with a parent passing? I just make sure to call my mom on my dads birthday and the day he passed. Plus drink a few bud lights for him.

Probably not the right thing to do. But ill deal with my issues later in life.

Not regular income so they don’t use the blended rate and instead use the highest. Sucks, but it’s more cash in my pocket than I would have without the bonus.
:dat:

anything is a nice gesture. Zero because all of north america was :flaccid: this year? :disgust:

Now imagine paying that 40% all year on all your earnings income, and then owing a shit ton more in April.

I had to fire a caregiver today....

WEEK ONE
Girl was 90 minutes late for orientation....

2 days later, while on a case, her Uncle was on life support, she had to leave early....

Then He died and she needed the next two days off......

WEEK TWO
Needed off for the Funeral on Monday

Late on Monday....wait, he didn't die, her aunt lied to her because she didn't want her to lose her new job

Tuesday, while on a case, they are pulling the plug she has to leave early to say goodbye

Wednesday....gets pulled over on the way to her client. 30 minutes late

Thursday leaves her purse at home has to turn around 60 minutes late

Need Monday off for the funeral

On friday tells me the funeral is on Saturday (but I had already scheduled someone else)

WEEK THREE
Tuesday....actually works a full shift......though she did ask if she could leave early

Today: I get a text at 5am from the caregivers phone ....."We took Tracie's phone and her car today she won't be in, Her Aunts"

830 am ME: Please tell Traci that she is fired

1030 am "AUNTS": We took her phone because she pissed me off.....and her car...we made a terrible mistake. We thought she didn't make the payment but she did and my sister didn't realize it. Don't fire her, it was our fault not hers, she almost went to jail telling us she paid it and arguing. She fought her 200lb cousin and actually whooped his butt over this as well. She needs her job and loves it, this was our fault Sir or Ma'am.

1032 ME: I'm sorry but Every shift since she started has been a roller coaster ride of drama. I can't run a business this way.

12:58 "AUNTS" Blah blah blah it's not her fault...... God in Heaven, she is going to kill us when she finds out.

1:00 ME: I'm sorry but you should have thought of that before "you" jeopardized her livelihood and the well being of my client (who went unattended today). I happen to know that she has a second government issued phone, funny how she hasn't reached out to me.? I just issued her final check. I bent over backwards to be accomodating, I really did. But enough is enough.

2:42 "AUNTS" Her phones were both in the car. We are trying to find her.

3:00 ME: Good luck with that.

TL/DR Sigh, you can't make this :shit: up

HR difficulties based on life fundamentals like this are sadly more prevalent than one might imagine.
No doubt....but I'm 90% certain that she was pretending to be her "Aunts" because cray-cray
Oh no question whatsoever.

Wrong thread for this really. I look at this as the forces of reason striking a great blow against the forces of moran. A victory for the good guys. Treading the path of the righteous man. And so forth.

Yes....sorry for the clutter.....but I put a lot of time, effort and money into recruiting and on-boarding caregivers and I really take everything I do in the business to heart...... so having to let a troubled woman go sucked donkey balls ......

But yes, ultimately she did me a favor........

I'm with you. Even if it is for the best, and the right thing it sucks to have to deal with bringing someone online and then they burn you. Now the hunt continues.

On average it takes me about 9 months to fill a position due to being super picky and ultra critical, so when I have someone bail it sucks. I had a dude play my offer to Apple and tell me the morning he was supposed to show up for orientation. I had already rejected 4 other candidates and they took other offers. Took me 6 months to find the next decent t candidate.

WEEK ONE
Girl was 90 minutes late for orientation....

2 days later, while on a case, her Uncle was on life support, she had to leave early....

Then He died and she needed the next two days off......

WEEK TWO
Needed off for the Funeral on Monday

Late on Monday....wait, he didn't die, her aunt lied to her because she didn't want her to lose her new job

Tuesday, while on a case, they are pulling the plug she has to leave early to say goodbye

Wednesday....gets pulled over on the way to her client. 30 minutes late

Thursday leaves her purse at home has to turn around 60 minutes late

Need Monday off for the funeral

On friday tells me the funeral is on Saturday (but I had already scheduled someone else)

WEEK THREE
Tuesday....actually works a full shift......though she did ask if she could leave early

Today: I get a text at 5am from the caregivers phone ....."We took Tracie's phone and her car today she won't be in, Her Aunts"

830 am ME: Please tell Traci that she is fired

1030 am "AUNTS": We took her phone because she pissed me off.....and her car...we made a terrible mistake. We thought she didn't make the payment but she did and my sister didn't realize it. Don't fire her, it was our fault not hers, she almost went to jail telling us she paid it and arguing. She fought her 200lb cousin and actually whooped his butt over this as well. She needs her job and loves it, this was our fault Sir or Ma'am.

1032 ME: I'm sorry but Every shift since she started has been a roller coaster ride of drama. I can't run a business this way.

12:58 "AUNTS" Blah blah blah it's not her fault...... God in Heaven, she is going to kill us when she finds out.

1:00 ME: I'm sorry but you should have thought of that before "you" jeopardized her livelihood and the well being of my client (who went unattended today). I happen to know that she has a second government issued phone, funny how she hasn't reached out to me.? I just issued her final check. I bent over backwards to be accomodating, I really did. But enough is enough.

2:42 "AUNTS" Her phones were both in the car. We are trying to find her.

3:00 ME: Good luck with that.

TL/DR Sigh, you can't make this :shit: up
I wonder what was going on at home. This is the stuff that Lisa deals with every day at her shop. Trying to work around someone's problems like that is extremely challenging and exhausting.
