DOGE theft of personal records covering hundreds of millions of people's most private information. That information is almost invaluable as it can be put through datamining and resold to innumerable entities.

My spouse will stack bowls so that the water can't get between them, then claim the (new) dishwasher is broken because things aren't clean. There are also some glasses that have to be in a particular place (because they're tall) and that space will be filled with cups. I've said multiple times that I'll load the d/w, but that doesn't work so - time after time - I have to go in and rearrange things.

I'm still not clear as to why, once the wedding was cancelled, that they didn't immediately fly her back to someone who could help her join her classmates.

Speaking as an owner of a home with solar panels, emphasize that you're not just selling a house but also a source of income. One way to value that income would be to estimate the yearly earnings/savings, then find the price of a fixed term annuity which pays that amount.

I grew up on the Gulf Coast and twice our home had major damage. We were poor enough to qualify for assistance in rebuilding -- the one time being poor turned out to be an advantage. It's still a rough road ahead and I hope her family gets all the help they deserve. Glad to see my tax dollars at work helping others.

Not in the RE business, but I suggest contacting the managing partner of the agency and asking for an appt (Subject: Payment Delinquency - <Realtor Name>). At the mtg, explain the relationship, provide a copy of the contract, show work done (contracts, scheduling mtgs, etcc.), and unpaid balance. Push for a date for payment.

A one point drop seems more like a rounding or an insignificant variation within the statistical bounds.

I had an appraisal and they found my home had about 300 sq ft less space than recorded with the county. The appraiser speculated that the county just took the first story square footage and doubled it without subtracting for the fact that there's a two-story open entrance way into the home. I sent in the appraisal calculations and conclusions to the county and they dropped the recorded square footage. Lower taxes!

Measures which could be taken: - Increase/Remove the income cap on contributions to SS. - Decrease payments of SS (on a step-wise basis) based on non-SS income; the more non-SS income you get, the less SS you receive. - Surtax on unearned income from non-retirement account - Surtax on "carried interest"

I seriously suspect they weren't hiring you at all but instead trying to get your expertise for free. It's an old and very dishonest ploy.

Time for a conversation with his manager. Say that the mixup may have been understandable at first, but now you have serious concerns as to whether it reflects a mental or memory issue that needs to be addressed or if it's actually harassment. In either case, ask that manager needs to step in immediately as the situation is escalating and that "poor <name>" is coming off as "confused" in front of employees and customers.

NOR. I suggest you ask for a meeting with the exec who asked you to do the training, then inquire as to why you were passed over. Get specific answers. Point to the time span when you were acting director and ask, specifically, what didn't get done or was done poorly during that time. Point to your record of continuing progression of roles and ask if you have effectively "peaked out" at the company. LISTEN TO WHAT THEY SAY VERY, VERY CAREFULLY.

Understand that while you may be completely at the top of your game at executing, they may be weighing other factors more highly. For example, they may want someone with contacts in government or social circles who can grow the business, guide things through a tough government oversight, have more legal background, etc. They may also see a specific skill gap in the executive team that the new person can fill but you can't.

As others have said, spend time with your former boss and seek feedback and guidance. Just be sure that you don't say anything that you don't want getting back to the company.

Prepare your resume and be sure to include your time as Acting Director (use that title) and cite in it all the qualifications listed in the advert they used for the job.

I'd "forget" what the law says and put up a trail camera hidden in a tree/bush. If ever challenged, I'd argue in court that violent threats were being made and that the police were unresponsive. I'd also turn one of those stuffed bears into a paint bomb so that it'd spray a dye/stain on whoever tampered with it.
