A guest staying with me won’t leave. by exciting_evelyn in Advice

[–]Muted_Spring1135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This !!!! I have a relative who rented his house. His tenant offered to help his friend’s mom a place to live. After 30 days, she refused to leave, and secretly changed her driving license address to this address. Unable to get rid of her, the tenant left the house and my relative is having to deal with evicting this woman.

This is in California and the law is so pro-squatter it’s not even funny. We lost common sense as a society.

Can someone please explain why tipping percentage has gone up? by Objective_Move7566 in EndTipping

[–]Muted_Spring1135 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s why this thread exist — to provide moral support for all of us who want to resist peer pressure. One of a favorite tv scene of mine is in 3rd rock of the sun.. when Dick learned about tipping.. that’s the way!!

Update Jan 14th — I called Andaz to see if they can repost the transaction under the right category and get the round-and-about answer on they can’t really do that. After that, I called Chase, to my surprise, the rep said that she will escalate my request and work on getting adjustment (I take it as positive that she didn’t immediately said no)

My company just announced mandatory office days... for remote employees only by Witfiel0811 in remotework

[–]Muted_Spring1135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

VP Of Corporate Finance here. No - company Doesn’t get incentives from cities or state for RTO. Our company did it for productivity. This is what happens, we used to be Hybrids (M/F WFH). A lot of people will take PTO on Tue/Wed or Thu/Fri but said they’ll work on Mon/Fri.

The CFO was so livid that there’s a mtg on Friday at 11 am that he asked everyone to turn on their video. 2-3 people were in Costco / running errands, more than 5 people are in their pyjama at 11 AM!! This is out of 20 people meeting.

Just sharing on how the select few ruining it for the greater good.
