  • “I’m making 50k”. Great, now I have to guess - dollars? Monthly? Yearly? If yearly then what’s the monthly paycheck? Net? Gross?

    Unless you just stepped of your alien spaceship and have never interacted with societal conventions before, these are all fairly consistent. If you’re in a country, you’re almost certainly getting paid in the local currency. Annual pay is typically listed for various reasons though tradition is a big one, your pay period will also be specified whether monthly, weekly, two weeks, or whatever, and it’s listed before taxes since the business has no clue what your personal income tax looks like.

    And on the contrary, what makes sense about monthly that doesn’t about yearly? I don’t get paid monthly, and years to 2 week pay periods is far easier than months to 2 week pay periods.













  • Here’s some further reading on intent as it relates to criminal law if you’re interested.

    Any legal problems regarding sexual harassment at the workplace would, for one, be in civil proceedings, not criminal, which typically don’t require intent, and most importantly, almost certainly be the (legal) problem of the company and not you. You probably aren’t going to personally get sued because you made an off-color joke in front of the wrong person, but the company can absolutely get sued for having a hostile workplace under a variety of laws, for which your personal intent is entirely irrelevant.
