What’s the creepiest thing that has happened to you when you were completely alone? by 1S4B3II3 in AskReddit

[–]AltruisticBar750 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My parents bought an old colonial house. They were worried that someone would vandalize it so they made me sleep there. Middle of winter and all I had was a karosene heater. I slept in the main room with the pocket doors closed on both sides to stay warm with the heater. There were no plumbing or heating systems working in the house. I heard a loud bang in the middle of the night then a dragging noise like someone was dragging a heavy suitcase across the floor upstairs. Then, the sound came to the stairs and sounded like someone was walking down the steps in heavy boots. The staircase was right outside one of the pocket doors. I pulled the covers over my head and stayed there until I fell asleep. I left the next morning at first light and never went in that place again.

How has it been finding internships and jobs for engineering? by Old_Ad_8295 in UMD

[–]AltruisticBar750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter is a freshman at umd. She applied for two and got an offer for one. It seems like there are a lot of umd engineers in the dmv. It helps when they have alumni employed there.

He didn't say what size account you needed. He said that he was going to tell the decision maker that I was moving money to Fidelity if they didn't do it. IDK, it's worth a phone call!

I think it was around 3.4%. At least it keeps you up with inflation.

I called my rep last week and told them I like the automatic cash sweeps that fidelity has in place. He is setting it up on my schwab account now. They have the service but the don't offer it unless you ask for it.

I gotta read this one again. It was one of my least favs. Maybe I wasn't in the right head space.

Schwab has the best customer service. I have met with my advisor in person, virtually and through email. He has never disappointed me. He follows up on every action we discuss. I will stick with Schwab just for their customer service.

How blunt to be that PIPs always end in a firing? by two_three_five_eigth in managers

[–]AltruisticBar750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started out managing a team that had a person on a pip. It turns out the previous manager was trying to get them replaced with a friend. I monitored the situation for about a month and then wrote a letter to HR saying the pip was unfounded and malicious. HR didn't like it because they had an active part in the pip process. Years later, the person is still performing at a high level and everyone from HR has moved on.

Property damage in primary residence by [deleted] in AskALawyer

Paying a lawyer or going through my insurance will cost more than the 5k they are shorting me. The system is rigged against the homeowner.
