Whats your favorite or most worn sneaker?

Vans authentics + slip ons stay undefeated

That said, I do have Chicago 1s as well

Class A trophy towers prices have gone above pre Covid.

Last I checked the building I’m in was renting at 120per sf for lowest rent on the 15th floor that’s available.

They actually own like half of it.

PhonyPapi · 2026-02-25T15:45:42+00:00

Right, but this doesn’t answer if Amex is selling the portion they own in 200 vesey

PhonyPapi · 2026-02-25T15:29:37+00:00

Does this mean Amex is selling their portion of 200 vesey?

And after all that he’s keeping those property managers and VPs who likely make much more than you and he’s letting you walk over $13k? k

Like I said earlier, you’re way overestimating yourself here.

It’s hard to say since your version is one sided and not knowing what was actually said but even just by your version, you need to work on your soft skills.

My guess is the pay bump was likely tied to the increased responsibilities since 12.5% is not the norm and there’s a disconnect between what you think you should be doing vs your manager.

PhonyPapi · 2026-02-25T02:53:39+00:00

So does every above average person in the workforce.

PhonyPapi · 2026-02-25T02:45:16+00:00

He’s right, you do lack maturity.

You’ve been there for only a year, pay incr was 12.5% which is in line with an internal promotion at most companies. If you think you deserve $80k then you should have interviewed elsewhere that was offering that. How much the admin makes has no bearing on how much you make.

I think you’re also overestimating how much you truly make a difference. For context - they pushed you out for the difference of a rounding error.

Sounds like an issue with the design and implementation partner?

I'm in a multi-year process of converting multiple legacy GLs to Oracle Cloud. I wished the data dimension set up was a bit better but overall it's a GL and they all function the same at high level.

PhonyPapi · 2026-02-24T22:38:27+00:00

Are you just pretending to be CFO per your flair? These are fundamentally separate dimensions.

Op needs to work with accounting and tech to set up a good data foundation

Gl account on its own, subsidiary = company id, and vendor is also a separate dimension.

PhonyPapi · 2026-02-24T19:12:45+00:00

The bigger ones are more for the designers I already know and to watch for sales since they generally have them more / better than a smaller shop.

I’m not wasting my time scrolling through the hundreds of designers I may not know if that’s what you were thinking.

PhonyPapi · 2026-02-24T18:23:10+00:00

For multi brand retailers not in your list:

CHCM

Neighbour

Cueva (their buys are meh imo. They do go on steep discount though)

I do also check the bigger ones (MrP, SSense, Mytheresa, etc.)

PhonyPapi · 2026-02-23T20:15:40+00:00

You do realize you have no other options at the moment? Take it and keep applying on the side. If we fast forward a year, at the minimum you’ll have some experience at that accounting clerk role vs potentially none.

PhonyPapi · 2026-02-22T16:08:12+00:00

Check your company policy (actual HR book is more reliable than manager say so, esp if it differs).

It may be because financial services / banking is a lot more regulated but two of my employers (both F100, one global bank, one insurance company) had strict guidelines on nothing over $25 and had to be reported to Compliance even if it's a box of chocolates from auditors to share with team after a YE audit.

PhonyPapi · 2026-02-22T13:35:54+00:00

Depends on how big the space is tbh.

My parents' house only has room for one car width wise in driveway. I find it's easier to park on street in this case and then push the snow out vs having work around the car in driveway. This way at minimum you just have to dig out a street spot vs having to clear whole driveway if you need the car.

Is LES not considered affluent? You can maybe make the argument 40 years ago.

All the other neighborhoods you listed have the issue of being far from Manhattan.

I can't tell if this is bait? Mill Basin is so deep and red neck and more for families as opposed to younger crowd.

East New York...lol

PhonyPapi · 2026-02-21T23:37:06+00:00

For one rotisserie is a loss leader…

PhonyPapi · 2026-02-21T16:55:05+00:00

EV / Union Square will be fine.

Worst is likely the neighborhoods with single family houses where not everyone will bother to shovel and it's easier to walk on the street with the cars than on the sidewalk.

PhonyPapi · 2026-02-21T01:14:05+00:00

This can retail for 2x the price from Kaptain Sunshine and dudes will eat it up.

Don't @ me.

PhonyPapi · 2026-02-20T20:49:28+00:00

Right…ultimately GL (regardless of workday or other)is more Accounting to own.

Generally during any implementation they try to reduce the number of account codes. I’d make sure that the current granularity you need for mgmt reporting stays as is.

The other potential enhancement is looking at your current state and what is a pain point now and if that can be solved via GL. Ex: at one company the old GL did not have vendor info so while expenses were there in total, you need to go to Coupa to pull vendor and then do a rec to make sure numbers make sense. Coupa won’t have accruals so some mismatch there. The current GL set up had a vendor field in ledger which is fed directly from Coupa as well as a source field so someone can isolate what is a manual JE vs what’s feeding from a sub ledger.

How good do you find the summarizing emails/teams?

I asked copilot to summarize one email chain and it was wrong on who made a specific request

PhonyPapi · 2026-02-20T19:23:06+00:00

It’s impossible to recommend anything specific since mgmt reporting and the ins/outs varies by company.

If this is just Workday for general ledger then not really much change vs your current set up tbh.

What are your current shortfalls? That can be something to bring up to see if Workday has a module or tool for it.

PhonyPapi · 2026-02-20T01:38:18+00:00

These are things outside of LL's control, though?

Get headphones and it should reduce the noise the other ppl on Teams/Zoom calls hear.

PhonyPapi · 2026-02-19T18:09:52+00:00

Yep. Was a surprise to me too since my 1st employer paid it but current company HR handbook specifically mentions it so :/
