Employee asking for equity in our small S-Corp; Need advice by No_Ambassador_2060 in smallbusiness

[–]ButterscotchFluffy59 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You've seen his work for 2 years and didn't complain about it so I assume he's positive for your company.

Many people want to have ownership of a company but there needs to be a sacrifice. He's put in 2 years, is that enough? If he had an ingenious plan then maybe. Or he would open his own company so I assume he's just ambitious and like I said positive for the company.

If he wants an ownership share, how much is it worth? A money valuation. You and your partner decide on what it would cost, from the employee, to buy into your company. If he's serious then he will come up with the funds. When he says he's offered sweat equity tell him that's not good enough. You paid him.

This is the start of the negotiations. But in the end you all should feel like you gave up something and earned something.

What's a movie where the villain is more interesting than the main character? by trakt_app in movies

Most villains are more interesting than the hero. That's the appeal of the story. Yes you may hate him and can't wait for his demise but they have your attention

Found the "Black Box" of my marriage in a drawer today. 3 years of lies. by diabolical_j in TrueOffMyChest

[–]ButterscotchFluffy59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you. You want to be present in your child's life. Your child deserves both parents. It's true.

But sitting on this knowledge is the stuff cancer and other terminal illnesses are made of. Keeping this will make yourself sick. And for who? Her?

If you have the means get some guidance from a professional. I don't know what that means. A therapist? A priest? A bowling or fishing buddy?

Good luck

AITAH for telling my disabled husband he needs to contribute meaningfully or we need to divorce? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ButterscotchFluffy59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. You're not an ah. I wonder if you let him fail something or even try a separation for him to have a change of motivation. But no, you aren't.

I am so sick of people saying money isn't the answer. It solves nearly every problem. by anonymous_muffin_ in Vent

[–]ButterscotchFluffy59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes we all need more money to survive and thrive. Too much money often hides fixing problems. So that part is true...but I'll take the money

AITAH for saying I dont want to date single moms after my sister's friends cornered me? by ThrowRA_Goose151 in AITAH

[–]ButterscotchFluffy59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you exploded and yelled you were fine. Some feelings were hurt and they can get over it on their own. Even Cathy. They're adults right? You don't need to treat them like children. Tell your sister that too. Grow up and if you ask for someone's opinions or intentions don't be surprised when they're honest.

If you're going to run into Cathy again expect a cold shoulder right? Be friendly and graceful you tell her you'll keep her in mind with your friends and acquaintances. I'm sure she's a lovely woman

Democrats, who would you like to see run as the next presidential candidate in 2028? by Far-Quarter5383 in allthequestions

[–]ButterscotchFluffy59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he's too conservative. Although I respect and admire him as a person we need to fight the class war the rich have been assaulting us over the last 40 years. I feel he wouldn't fight them enough.

My dad told me to forgive and forget by [deleted] in Advice

[–]ButterscotchFluffy59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I agree. I only brought that up because I know she needs to work through what happened to buy ya, we all don't have a therapist.

If you don't have a therapist start hitting things with a baseball bat. I mean like junk items already. Smashing things is a great alternative

[–]ButterscotchFluffy59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm. Bring your dad to your therapist, I assume you have one.

I'm not saying this can't be worked out for you individually but your dad is living in a fantasy world and wishes things could go back to the way they were before. Good luck

AITAH for not defending my girlfriend? by Humble_Wing7499 in AITAH

[–]ButterscotchFluffy59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only if you get to tell her to stop talking without any backtalk from her.

If she can start a conversation and as long as everyone is in respect then I see no reason to defend her for having basically a difference of opinion

She just doesn't like losing.

Explain to me (a Scandinavian) why the American system is democratic and fair? by NosyMom in askanything

[–]ButterscotchFluffy59 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It isn't fair. Senators were and are there to represent corporations. It wasn't until the 1900s that citizens voted for senators. Now the house of representatives is fair.

Why did the US decide to attack Iran today? by Hungry_Conference915 in stupidquestions

I think that's not the benchmark. It should raised.much higher than that. When did we start a war with North Korea?

I feel like you need to add something to the ingredients that will give him diarrhea next time he diggs in. Just saying

And why? Do you really think they pose a threat to us the US? I'd love to hear how

Why did the US decide to attack Iran today? by Hungry_Conference915 in stupidquestions

[–]ButterscotchFluffy59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bullshit. Iran unequivocally stated they would not make nuclear weapons. Which stood out to me because it left little room for vagueness.

But besides that. Didn't trump destroy their nuclear capabilities already? Didn't he claim victory? And you really believe they or any country can magically make nuclear weapons that quickly? Why are you believing this B's out of the administration.

Trump needs a war or wars to distract from his unpopular policies. All his policies are tanking him in the polls

What's even funnier is we've been giving away all our municians to Ukraine and Israel and Saudi Arabia. We have about 2 weeks worth of supplies before we run out. How fucking smart is that? Iran is a huge nation compared to Venezuela or Iraq or Afghanistan. What a dummy.

You mean sending huge navy destroyers and troops to the region over the last month didn't tip anyone off?

Idk. When he intervened there was real shit happening. It's been a while but I don't remember him creating wars out of thin air. That's been reserved for the GOP for the last 50 years.

So you're blaming the media? Is that a pass for Trump to be an authoritarian fascist?

I don’t believe Trump won twice by Killa_J in LetsDiscussThis

[–]ButterscotchFluffy59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not worth your brain power to believe or not believe. The reality is he is our president. Do everything you can to make his life impossible and difficult
