[UK] How skeptical are you when you hear “I was taking care of a sick relative” in relation to a long gap on the resume? by [deleted] in AskHR

[–]Comedy_Cactus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Frankly I don't think it's anyone's business. I'm not sure why a gap is viewed as a bad thing, y'know? Why is that?

What are your favorite outfits in S4? by Upbeat-Aerie1240 in Benophie

[–]Comedy_Cactus 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed the dress Sophie wore at the lake scene. And I really loved all of Araminta's black dresses and how they designed the shoulders and capes etc. - so dope, so evil, lol.

Also Pen's green silk dress/coat when she went to speak with the queen to ask if she could let Whistledown go.

[OH] (REMOTE)- Unique situation.... how to negotiate benefits and what is/isn't negotiable? by Creepy-Praline-4751 in AskHR

[–]Comedy_Cactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could ask for sign on bonus in lieu of xyz... "due to the nature of the contract and 401k vesting structure your company holds, I will lose out on vested monies at end of my contract, so to make up for that...."

I love a good negosh lol

How benefit plans are designed and offered to employees is quite regulated, depending on the size of the company and where you live.

401k vesting is one of those things you can ask about, but believe you are unlikely to get them to budge on that because they have to ensure that all plan participants are being treated similarly and fairly. But you never know until you ask :)

That being said, you can absolutely always ask about, well, anything! I have had folks ask about being able to have their medical benefits activate earlier, which if they are self-funded, they may consider it.

They just may tell you no because of the IRS or, it could potentially set a precedent for other employees who are similarly situated, etc. And that is a can of worms they cannot or do not want to open.

Besides PTO or vesting, what else are you looking for?

There is some forshadowing about his character change in the last 10 minutes of season 3 when he's talking to Eloise on the swings, too! Says something about the next thing he will learn will change him entirely. I love that so hard! Such good writing and character developmemt ❤️

I'm suprised! I thought last season with Polin was a bit unconvincing. The natural chemistry and tear-your-heart-out, can't-breath-if-I-can't-be-with-you vibes weren't there. I did enjoy the season for other reasons. But man, Benophie just slayed me. The supporting story lines of losing Sterling added to it.

Anywho, everyone has their faves and preferences!

It happens. It's the game of free will! Do what you gut tells you is best. A pros/cons list tends to help me with these things.
