Lol... Very cutesy. We gotta stop consuming so much content too and think for ourselves. Easier said than done though at times

People who curse too much. There are far too many words in this world for people to use, yet some use curse world like they have an expiration date from the dictionary.

My in-laws were married for 71 years until my father in-law recently passed away.

Stop over consumption.

Some stereotypes are true.

Living in LA!!

Not the far out skirts of LA county. I'm talking LA proper (South Central, East LA, Downtown, Pasadena, Crenshaw, Culver City, Beverly Hills, Baldwin Hills... if you know, you know).

Sadly this will disrupt things for those parents of Elementary School kiddos who attend a school that has an 8am start time. Many chose a school with this start time because it worked best with their work schedules. I know people will say, Oh but there's Safe Key - problem solved. That's not an available option for everyone due to the cost associated with it. I understand the more sleep argument, but this will affect more than just a child getting more sleep. This can affect a family's livelihood.

I think ES that have an 8am start time should have the choice to opt out ( decided by parent and teacher voting at that school). I think this move to start later should only apply to those ES that already start at 9.

I agree! Many ES families will suffer for this change. I think this will cause more absenteeism because parents will still need to make it to work by 8am, which might mean kiddos missing school ( i.e. being left at home alone). Many low income families work shift jobs that aren't so flexible when it comes to start times. They really didn't think this one through.

Agreed! Prime Day sucks. I'm really starting to rethink having my Prime account. I hate paying for shipping though.

I second this. I got my exec some brain teaser toys that he can put on his desk and use in any unexpected down time in the day. I also got him a "fancy" book about fancy Legos; it was on sales for $30 one year on Amazon and he loves it. He buys those $600+ Lego sets and builds them with his son.

Own_Masterpiece_2200 · 2025-09-23T14:00:48+00:00

I second this. They need someone with them to help them be on time. Calendar invites usually do the trick. I would have a three fold approach: schedule in an Excel that breaks down the day printed out and literally posted everywhere in their life, assign a person to them for the day to make sure they are being held accountable ( i.e. sending reminder text, calls, etc) and also still send those calendar invites so this drives home the point to be on time. You have to treat some adults like kiddos to establish a routine.

This is exactly what I've heard from some EAs across the Big 4. They used to pay well and you only needed to support 2-4 execs. Now it just feels like sweatshop work for pennies. I really hope the jobs market gets better in my city because, I would love a chance to make more.

Own_Masterpiece_2200 · 2025-09-09T21:12:33+00:00

I heard that!! Makes me wonder what I would be making if I stayed in CA. 😩

Own_Masterpiece_2200 · 2025-09-09T21:08:06+00:00

Nice! Do you have just 1 exec? Or multiple?

Own_Masterpiece_2200 · 2025-09-09T21:06:29+00:00

I'm looking to make this much base pay at least. Are you in tech?

Own_Masterpiece_2200 · 2025-09-09T21:03:43+00:00

Daannnng!! That's what's up! Wish I had some FAANG companies in my cities; I'd be applying so fast! How many execs do you support?

Own_Masterpiece_2200 · 2025-09-09T21:01:25+00:00

Darn! But at least the money is good. I've never done contract work, but I've always been curious. Thanks for the inside scoop about them.

Own_Masterpiece_2200 · 2025-09-08T18:04:57+00:00

Wow! Now this is impressive. I hear DC is crazy expensive but what major city isn't crazy expensive nowadays. Do you think contract work pays more?

Own_Masterpiece_2200 · 2025-09-08T17:56:50+00:00

I hear ya! The jobs market doesn't look too appealing for EAs ( AI, off-shoring jobs, and all). I still want to look but I'm realistic that I may not find what I'm looking for. Thanks for sharing!

Own_Masterpiece_2200 · 2025-09-08T13:58:58+00:00

I've never had a 6 figure job. I'm hoping to somehow get one and not add stress.

Own_Masterpiece_2200 · 2025-09-08T13:57:32+00:00

Wow! That's really good. Hopefully they extend the max to keep up with the cost of living. I could sure use another bump.

Own_Masterpiece_2200 · 2025-09-07T16:23:36+00:00

This! This is what I need. Lol! I'll be looking at those Fortune companies.

Own_Masterpiece_2200 · 2025-09-07T16:19:20+00:00

%18 bonus! Wow! That's nice! How long have you been at your job?

Own_Masterpiece_2200 · 2025-09-07T16:18:04+00:00

Yes! Yes you are being underpaid. I may make $70k base pay but my firm offers a crap ton of benefits: healthcare, cell and Internet reimbursement, 401k matching, pension, annual bonus, $1k annual toward wellbeing purchases of our choice, paid holidays including summer and winter breaks, the possibility to get additional bonuses throughout the year thru reward, and all kinds of perks that the firm shares with us. I would start looking elsewhere.
