This won’t help for this conversation but in the future, remember that the best way to get paid more is to move jobs. The norm nowadays is to move around different companies every handful of years, getting a pay increase each time. To that end, if you really want a raise, have a job offer hand. If you have another job offer at a higher pay, the company either has the choice to pay you more or let you leave. Even if they won’t match the offer, they can still meet you partway. Either way, you win.

I worked as a lifeguard at a water park for a summer, and the idea of using SOUND to identify distressed swimmers sounds dumb as fuck to me. No wonder he had to save so many people. None of the other guards were contributing.

You joke, but I worked a summer at a water park. I had to rescue 3 people in one day who all went under on the same slide. One of them had swallowed enough water in the 5 seconds it took me to get to her that I had to do chest compressions to clear her airway. It’s been 10 years and I still have nightmares.
