At the time I was a fairly low level employee but we were only like 5 people so I had some equity in the company. Part of the terms of the buyout included to buy out all the employees had in the original company. This payment (roughly …

I was asked to gift my car to my niece, in return they will pay half of my monthly for a new car. So here is the scenario that lead to this situation.

Was I really asked if I was looking for drugs? Or possible scam/police setup? Last night as my wife, mother in law, brother in law and myself were walking through the cat park in Lima Peru, a random guy came up to me and asked “are you looking for the good stuff?” We clearly looked like tourists (we are from the USA). But nothing about our outward appearance screams we were looking for drugs. Especially my MIL. Was this…

Disclaimer: Feedback is not the same as an official HR performance review. Note 1: It is the “aftereffect” of giving the feedback that lan…

When asked how long I’ve been doing photography, what do I say? I have my own photography business but it’s new and slow. I’m applying for jobs that are photo in house photography and I realized I don’t know how to define how long I’ve been shooting. I had been taking images since 5, but obviously I wasn’t good so I’m not going to say my entire life. High school I got more serious with a class. Shortly afte…

LPT Request: I’m sure this has been asked 1000 times but how do you keep yourself from overthinking everything? I think about everything so much it’s exhausting. It’s keeping me from sleeping and getting me at work. I think about all the little things and big things. How someone might take what I said. What I should be doing with my life. Everything. How do I get control of my thought? submitted by /u/Peitry

She declined and then I declined her first petition too. Anot…

First ever solo trip and couldn’t have asked for a better one. Georgia. I finally decided to go on a trip on my own and it might have been the best decision I’ve ever made. 10 amazing days in Georgia focused on Svaneti (Mestia and Ushguli), Tbilisi and Kazbegi with some day trips around Tbilisi (Gori and Mtskheta) . Delicious food, some of the friendliest people you could find, and a great country overall. submi…

Got asked to be a social media manager and freaking out I really need advice because I feel sick to my stomach and it hasn’t even started. A friend of mine and former colleague asked if I would be interested in helping with social media for an event he’s leading I feel like the pressure is coming from the fact that this would be my first real go at this. Also, he’s someone I know so if it’s a flop I…
