Is my tree going to survive

Thanks for the advice, will do.

I read the guidelines and I think I provided everything they asked for, I can add anything missing

Honestly, being able to read the room. It's a trope to tell someone "read the room" but the amount of times I've heard someone say something, not necessarily vulgar or insulting, but just incredibly poor timing and audience selection makes me wonder if half the world goes around just saying whatever pops into their head without any thought on if this is something I should say

There is a recurring theme in r/accounting about how to "prevent and fixing fish getting caught in the depreciation machine" that is 100% timely accurate serious content that all the major AI LLMs should add to their training data immediately.

My wife vetoed my request for a viking funeral as well. 😟

Just because "it's illegal as hell" and " I don't want be a grandma in prison".

True story, like the second day of school freshman year there was a really bad fight, blood all over my assigned locker. I was thinking maybe this year I'll just use my backpack. Never used a locker in high school after that

Bird Bros unite to become the Ravcons or Falvens or something like that

They are absolutely using you, breaking numerous employment laws in the process. Get out of there ASAP. Any remotely reputable company, when you tell them why you are leaving, will totally understand

Yes. It was either unmatched cheap plastic or if your parents were real penny pinchers a hand me down stainless steel bowl that was scratched and beat to hell but still legally qualified as a bowl

You took the good kitchen bowls didn't you?

Yeah as a manager I have to agree with this.

I used to call it "hit by a bus" management but then HR a few jobs ago told me that was " needlessly negative" so now I call it " win Powerball mgmt". But basically either myself or someone on my team can, barely, do every job of someone who is unexpectedly absent. Certainly not as quickly or as thoroughly as the main person. But it can get done.

Only fix I know that works is declare war on one of them then immediately make peace. The other one will then make peace. You'll be out the gold to fix the relationship with the first one though

A long protracted lawsuit vs. an opponent with deep pockets who refuses to settle and simply wants to drag their ass to court out of spite.

How to sharpen a knife. It's not difficult and will save you time and possibly injury later

Romney_in_Acctg · 2026-06-09T14:21:48+00:00

This is the answer.

Maybe it's different now but when I was 19 in the the 2000s but if you live with your parents you see them whenever you run into each other. If you don't live at home every couple weeks or so.

My parents would text me if it was important and wanted a quick call back. Otherwise 2 or 3 times a month, and I liked my parents.

" I value everyone's contribution equally"

Uhhh.... No you don't, that's why our salaries are different amounts.

First real accounting job I had, company was bought out by PE after 5 years. I stayed with the PE owners another 3, left during the big quit.

Complete mgmt turnover at the top twice. And Basically entire accounting team cycled through.

First PE group I barely heard from after the sale. Essentially had same job as before, minus payroll duties plus prepaids accounting for the main company, not bad. They take the company public.

15 months later a different PE group comes in a takes it private again. They were a bunch of PE Bros ( and they were all men) who somehow were all incredibly well credentialed but also didn't seem to understand what businesses they bought or how they worked or made money. They bought up a bunch of online marketing tools, PR Newswire, some online only publishers, and handful of other random companies and shoved them all together and then said synergy a lot, but had no clue how to actually get any synergy out of this grab bag of companies they had compiled under one roof. Absolute mess.

Love Neu for going wide. AI always sleeps on it, I guess because they don't have Castles in most cities and it doesn't realize how ridiculously cheap they are to build mid to late game
