If you get offered a “bonus” as stock – read the fine print

So being at a company that pays equity bonuses is nice in theory. Overall probably means your salary is pretty good, so while I'm about to bitch and moan in this post – I recognize that things could bw way worse, and folks working hourly are really who needs to be defended today. Having said that, if you get offered an RSA or RSU stock grant, or any form of “bonus” that comes with a contract – you might legitimately be better off rejecting it. After over two years at my job I lined up something new, and put in my resignation with two weeks notice. I knew I was going to be surrendering bonuses that were awarded previously because they were paid in chunks over several years ( which sucks ). What I did not know is that for RSA grants you literally lose money to taxes! The “bonus”…

Have a second interview tomorrow. What are some of your best answers to common scenario questions?

I was flustered during the first interview for a retail position, but I have a second one with the store owner. I actually have good vibes about this place, but I’m afraid my nervousness is going to be more obvious than the first interview. I haven’t had a second interview in a long time. Right now I’m so nervous I’m blanking on times when I rectified a situation with a customer, what my weaknesses are, etc. I definitely had a brain fart when I was asked about a time I went above and beyond for a customer during the first interview, and I’m afraid of screwing up tomorrow. So, what are some answers you gave to common scenario questions?

customer service pleas of help.

i recently recieved a bonus from my job. they're so set on subliminally making us workers subscribe to the idea they care about us. corporate has shown no signs of caring, and when they do, its in the form of monetary gifting, and not actually helpful resources. ive been told by my manager to keep home life at home and work life at work. this sounds good on the surface level, at least to a person whos never endured a severe mental ailment for most their life. what i am trying to say is that mental illness is not a thing that is a flip switch. it lives with you. it kills you from the inside. so, i cant just turn off these spontanaic thoughts of autodeceasing. if this seperation of settings on the terms of mental health, is referring to masking, just say “i need you to mask at…

Just realized I been paying rent since moving out

Looks like I will continue to do so indefinitely. It will also get more expensive. Will I even actually get to own a place without having to pay for it? Reality be wildin. How can we escape this existential crisis?

I’m finally going to put down some boundaries for my workplace today, and it’s long awaited

So I’m at my breaking point after a month working at my current job at papa johns. I’m normally a really patient person, but my patience is at its end right now. I’ve been getting discriminated against for being autistic (I even spoke to a lawyer about this, I literally could sue them if I wanted to at this point) and I’ve been treated generally like crap by the management team there. Last time I was there (Tuesday) I almost got into a physical altercation with one of the managers because he was being aggressive and yelled at me. Then he approached me in an aggressive manner and I raised my arm to him fully expecting him to put his hands on me. Doing that deterred him just enough where he decided in that moment to keep his hands to himself and just settled to give me a dirty look.…
