"Lead journalist" at VentureBeat must be more lucrative than I thought.
Is this housing cost a Silicon Valley thing? Like rents are completely insane, so elder housing is also completely insane?
It's not like I live in a cheap city, either. Boston is pretty pricey, but wow.
- rconti 8y agoAssisted living, in general, is phenomenally expensive. It sounds like the mother lived in Sacramento, but they're renting out her house, so I'm sure that's a welcome revenue stream.

However, the IRS is crystal clear that domestic employees are in fact employees subject to all the things like overtime and UI. California has even more generous overtime rules, but even just the base pay gets expensive. $20 * 24 * 7 = $3,360 in base pay per week. Using an agency simplifies things but is usually a bit more expensive.
