Client brought me on for an ever increasing and disorganized list of tasks in December. After 18 days of ghosting me after the bill, a member of their legal department notified me that they will only pay for less < 20 hours of the 40+ hours billed. Any advice?

I work in a mid size start up (500 ppl, abt 5 years old). Whenever mid-level leaders (directors/sr managers) are discussing how to move forward and resolve an issue, there is a propensity of millennials that feel copying the ELT on the (long) email thread is a good idea. Is this some kind of new behavior or are they just that inexperienced in a business setting that they don’t know the etiquette of the situation? If I was on the ELT, I would be pissed about my email being blown up and cluttered with trivia that I would expect the lower level leaders would be taking care of. What are they actually accomplishing by copying the execs other than irritating them? What am I missing here? I’ll add I have over 30 years professional experience, am in a director role, but am newish (3 years) to start-up culture.

I just started three days ago after not working for 5 months. It's a customer service /accounts receivable full time position Monday – Friday 7-3pm. I can't wake up this early, and I hate the work, training is so boring. I'm just making appointments /collecting money,/data entry it's so mind numbling boring. I don't want to be here. What do I do?

European are always f*cking traveling. You all get prettier looking countries with historical buildings. Is it true you get 5 weeks off plus bank holidays? You all actually have transportation too. I hate it here.

They call it stormy Monday, but Tuesday's just as bad They call it stormy Monday, but Tuesday's just as bad Wednesday's worse, and Thursday's also sad Yes the eagle flies on Friday, and Saturday I go out to play Eagle flies on Friday, and Saturday I go out to play

I would be ok without a life of luxury as long as I can get food, shelter and necessities without needing to do any work. I won't cause any trouble in the community, just like to be left alone with my video games. I can provide emotional support and comic relief is necessary
