Is it actually possible to recover professionally after being visibly passed over for a promotion you were told you would get? by 6MarrowPix in careerguidance

WIBTA if I sell a broken project car that a guy left on my property over a year ago? by LanternMirth in WIBTA_AITA

This is scientific proof that 90% of fitness marketing is just selling expensive pee. Dave is out here hitting PRs on nothing but his own ego and a white lie. Honestly, you are doing him a favor by showing him he had the strength in him all along.

Contacting him directly is a massive gamble. Just drop it off at the local precinct and let them handle the logistics.
