A quick definition of compensation:

Term: Compensation

Definition: Compensation is the money you get paid for doing a job or for something bad that happened to you. If you get hurt while working, you might get compensation to help you pay for your medical bills and other things you need. This is called workers' compensation. It's a way to help you without having to go to court.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Compensation refers to the payment or reward given to an individual for the work or services they have provided. It can also refer to the monetary award given to someone who has suffered harm or loss.

For example, when an employee works for a company, they receive compensation in the form of a salary or wages. In the event of an injury or illness caused by work, workers' compensation laws provide benefits to the employee to cover medical expenses and lost wages.

Another example of compensation is when a person receives damages in a lawsuit for harm suffered due to someone else's actions. This compensation can cover medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.

These examples illustrate how compensation is a form of payment or reward for work or services performed, or for harm suffered.

It's cus i network well. I was in Citrin over in Santa Monica having dinner when this couple walked in and they were Icelandic and I had that Nordic connection to them so we chatted it up and then the Sommelier there was a long time friend of my family's and I found out these guys were like celebrity architects and I was all oh, I know this chick who is an architect who has like 1M tiktok followers and needs to rebrand and they were all oh, cool we would love to meet and hire her after learning she went to UCLA but then she just was like nah, I feel like failing for the next 6 months.

I give creatively inclined people a little more leeway with their behavior bc at least they’re interesting. I hate when someone is boring

Maybe. I wish they knew how to channel their creativity better. I feel I am a creative person too but I feel I know how to channel it into the drinks I make. She had some autistic savant gifts. Could draw/paint the most amazing shit.

This is like the most artsy restaurant I have ever been to. It was a total rip off but I will never have an experience like that again for at least a year.

hey all I think I must have asked this question here almost thrice and forgot to check but how do I see the stats to figure out if someone who applied in mid october to NYU but missed both waves so far still has a chance of getting in?

Eggan
