Meaning Iran is shooting missiles

Iran’s “missiles” are $1 at Costco. We are countering with a $10,000,000 interceptor missiles. Not a good ratio. Hopefully, the boys can figure this one out soon.

Typical bonuses are 100%?!? I work in IT, are y'all hiring? I've gotten the same $1K bonus every year for over a decade now.

I think they mean 100% of target , not 100% of yearly base salary . Or, if it’s 100% of base, it may be a really low base . I’ve companies do that. You can make 150k; but your base is 60k , the rest is all bonus and variable comp

When I was in highschool, everyone preached that the goal should be 100K a year. With that income you could support a family with a stay-at-home wife, decent house and cars, and go on a vacation every year. Seems like you need 200K a year for that lifestyle these days. And few make that much.

this. 200k is the new 100k of the 1990s
