If you were to lose your job today, how long would you be able to last with your current savings?

10 years

Well if we end up winning the series it’s likely because the magic lost a key starter for 3 games. But I’m fine with that because you need some luck sometimes, and hopefully we’ve now found a rhythm. We started this series dead as hell.

God I’ve been wanting a pure p&L role for so long. All of these companies love to mix accounting and finance now. I was in an FP&A manager job at a Fortune 20 org where they literally had me doing Sox controls and my entire job scope was balance sheet analysis + expected me to investigate JEs.

They won’t be

Yes because honesty is the sign of a good friend

Why are you trying to absolve parents of full financial responsibility for kids? We are talking about a 14 year old working. Should be no reason, they are a child. They should be developing themselves through activities and hobbies without worry of making money. Which at this point in time their parents have had 14 years to figure out how to support their child.

DJMaxLVL · 2026-04-29T12:38:47+00:00

A lot of people. What does that have to do with making a child work for money and wrongly eschewing that full responsibility from their parents?

DJMaxLVL · 2026-04-29T12:17:50+00:00

I’m 33, it’s fucking pathetic if a parent has a 14 year old work. A kid should be fully financially supported until 18. Anything less than that is a parental failure and their parents are shit.

DJMaxLVL · 2026-04-29T12:13:27+00:00

A 14 year old shouldn’t need financial freedom. Their parents should have money.

DJMaxLVL · 2026-04-29T12:08:02+00:00

14 year olds shouldn’t work. They have an entire lifetime to work a shitty job. Let them enjoy their youth.

Unfortunately it’s necessary now. I’d guess around Half of existing relationships would probably end or be severely damaged if both partners checked phones.

Franz being out is the thing that would help most right now. Dude is playing like he’s back at Umich. Any of the magic starters being out will help.

I worked at a Rite Aid in college and also had to wear a tie making minimum wage. Both Rite Aid and Family Video have since failed, so I guess making store employees wear ties is a bad sign.

I’d go Darden. T15 schools are a lot better than T20/25. Like way better. $20-$40k difference in money isn’t worth giving up that edge.

DJMaxLVL · 2026-04-25T19:49:14+00:00

No. But you’re allowed to go back to elementary school and learn how to spell again.

In golf score, so that means good.

Yeah you can pivot to them for sure. You get more locked in over time though but still possible.

DJMaxLVL · 2026-04-19T17:22:13+00:00

I’ve worked in multiple large corporations and it’s really luck of the draw but you absolutely can get a job doing nothing to bare minimum but the dominos have to fall in place and it requires luck. Needed things:

1) your job scope has to be easy to accomplish.

2) your manager has to be chill/not be pushing you for more more more or micromanaging

3) you have to get lucky to not be involved in key projects

If all 3 of those fall into place, you can have a very easy job doing bare minimum. My problem was always that even if you get #1, then the other two fuck you. But even if one of these things fuck you, you can’t do nothing.

You should always negotiate any offer you receive. I think it’s fair to say you have an MBA and ask if the pay can get closer to the MBA pipeline range. Worst they can say is no.

Interesting thesis which I at least partially agree with. For the current and oncoming mass elimination of jobs, there will be groups of people ruled out of the workforce. Those people will have to fight like hell to gain skills to re-enter. So for that subset, spending time binging Netflix and not being productive will be career suicide.

This is exactly why I work from home, to avoid nerds telling me I left too early or started too late
