as the text establishes no logical connection between those two sentences itself, which can only make the second one an elaboration but not a consequence.
Or how visting logic courses can have harmful consequences for your every day life when it comes to communicating and interacting with your fellow human beings.
To be fair, I think its a consequence that is probably is more an American thing. So I can agree there.
Posted by TheRabbitSorry I can't figure out how to take the test.
Gemini sun, Gemini Moon, Libra Rising
It's okay. You can rely on you good looks, anyways. Hope you figure out how to post pictures here, that way we can all see your beauty.
10/10 in 9 mins, however, it would have been shorter if my neighbor didn't stop by in the middle of it. 😂😂😂😂
Gemini sun, Scorpio moon, Cap rising.

You have been warned and thanks for coming to my DXP rant.
An elaborating would be something like.. defining exactly how much the raise was.
Him having more work to do is result/consequence of getting the raise.

Posted by Black-MambaI just don't believe that DXP has this many smart people....i really don't! These type of questions are used to get to logic to get to IQ -
Was the test too easy?
I don't think it was too easy. I just think instead of screenshots, some users are just posting scores. I believe you and a few others, but there are some here that I am like ,,,, right.....
Posted by Black-MambaQuestion 7 -This is BS

Read the underlined sentences, then choose the best answer to the question or the best completion of the statement.
When we write a check that we know is going to "bounce," we are in fact performing a criminal act.
It is a crime to knowingly write a "bad" check, one we know we don’t have sufficient funds to cover.
What does the second statement do?
You Answered
It provides supporting evidence for the first statement.
Correct Answer
It restates the central idea of the first sentence.
Reread the two sentences and take note of the repeated terms: “criminal act” and “crime,” and “check that…is going to ‘bounce’” and “‘bad’ check.” These are the same ideas phrased in different ways. For more information, review Understanding Comparison and Contrast.
(To open the link in a new tab, hold the Ctrl key while clicking on the link.)
Supporting evidence would be something like... stating what the law/statute actually is (Hot Check Law).

I don't want to sound rude but I doubt that it is an universal thing even in the US. It might be the case for most jobs or those who have a clear tarif through unions etc. but I doubt it's the same for jobs in areas like upper management or those where the salary is based on indiviudal negotions.
For an example: one might get a higher salary just to stay at the company but keeps doing the same thing as before.
Not relevant for the grounded reality but it remains an option that is not excluded in the text.
But again, my nit picking on this might be the result of going through courses where giving the answer this test wants would have been considered to be a mistake, which highlights the disconnect between this realm of academics and the practical real world.

In the US, getting a substantial pay raise, usually means one is now received a significant promotion. Unfortunately in the US, getting a promotion and earning a higher pay, usually means more work and no life. Upper management, sucks balls. Salary sucks balls. I miss the days I knew what hours my shift was going to be, and only working a set X amount of hours.
I earn a lot, but I work at minimum 65 hours a week. My one week vacation takes me planning out about 6 months in advance, and sometimes is cancelled last minute. Taking more than a week a year off? LOLOL
I am just sitting around waiting for the Gem men to take this....

I don't doubt this is the case for almost all jobs. Be it US, EU or most capitalist nations, but the fact remains that it could have been a different reason that is not excluded by what the text states, regardless of nation and context. It remains a hidden premise that isn't disclosed in the text.

That's the thing though, it is for the US. The US is probably the only place, in all the other countries I read about, that has the unhealthy employment atmosphere.

Yes, but if you hypothetically were to drive to Franklin's from your current job,would it be from the same direction as if you were to leave the other place that sells what Franklin's does, but has a name that is associated with a DXP user?

We definetly have the same around here too. Some through importing american companies and their work culture like Enterprise or through upper managment that got inspired by the US. Not sure I would call it completly unhealthy though. In theory and comparison with other concepts it's more an pro for some aspects and contra for others thing.
For an example: there was a marketing company that tried a democratic approach to it where the boss and all employees met and diccussed it whenever someone wanted a raise. After a couple of months they switched back because everyone got stressed out over it and the office climate deteriorated quickly.

Have you tried pushing one of your ploitical parties for this? I can imagine that, for good reason, most people will feel like you. It also would be something to fight for that can have a real, positive impact for peoples lifes.
There are also examples that might indicate a correlation between the number of holidays and economical strength. Especially for an economy that is more based on innovation and creativity.

It's something that has been brought up many of times, along with research showing that employees actually are more productive and efficient with shorter amounts of work periods. But corporate Murica, doesn't like that. We really stopped caring about the people, the minute the Supreme Court decided that Corporations received individual rights like a person. lollol
