Walmart sucks. They wont give you 40 hrs. Be lucky to get 30. Stay away. Oreilly sucks too, but at least you have the downtime, and learn useable skills and knoledge. Walmart is a zombie farm

is it a "family" type place, as in we are a family. yeah, thats bs. 8 years in , they are taking advantage of you, and all your expereince and knowledge is worth more. lots more. you should set the bar at the total where you were with bonus. 69k. thats my salary, and i wont take less. i would ask for 75k. plus more time for vacay or tpto. and benefits, like 401k or some type of retirement matching. stop selling yourself short. the open market would start at that figure. retail sucks, the weekends and holidays you give up. the missed family events. my time is worth so much more. i left restaurants making 70k a year, all becasue i was working 55 or more hours per week. and getting no where. i work for 23.50 an hour now, mon through friday, 8 to 5. i gave up a ton of money, but i am 100x better off.

bonus isnt salary, what does your position pay as average? how many years experience do you have doing it, there are a lot of questions here. generally, if you want me to work more than 40 hrs a week, we have a deep talk about the exchange in quality of life versus renumeration. basically, i need to get paid more to give up my life for you. only do salary if the benefits are way more. and get it in writing. a job descriptoion with expectations. no handshake shit. also, 54k for 55 hrs a week is not great. depending on where you live, could be minimum wage, or could be okay. as i said, find out how much people make for the saem job in the area. then add more for your experience and treaining. and come up with a number you think is fair, plus 15% on top for room to negotiate. and be prepared to jump if they wont be fair to you. dont fall for the oh, i pay you so well, or, i will give you a bigger bonus. get it in writing. or get more time off. or more vacay. just make sure you can live with it.

There, fixed the headline

There are still 1.3b of them or so, and even with xi staying in power til death, the country will race towards a future they prepare for. China does not only plan for 5 or 10 years. They plan for 50 or 100 years. Add in the fact that they shipped thousands of well educated chinese males, from the 1 child progrom, to african countries to take over from inside, with no wars, to have access to natural resources, and eventually to be overlords, barring the great road experiment, and china is still ascendent.

Are they kidding? It will be a free for all, and the biggest, baddest, most ruthless nation states will try to dominate. You really think china will not try to take everything they can?
