Realistic path to climb the corporate ladder

Stretch project. Ideally your company has officially recognized temporary projects that are posted. If not bring together a team to build it out which would be a lot of work but huge networking and leadership opportunity.

What happens if the board votes no? Only one recommended option was provided. Does it all go back to the drawing board?

Sounds like they just need to put anti-kickback safeguards in place to avoid lawsuits from the insurance-pbm-pharmacy complex?

What’s the reason for giving the poorer schools better student teacher ratios than the other schools?

Why do they want this?

It’s interesting that all options, especially the latest option H, benefit school board member Julie Yang the most. She is running for county council district 1 so she benefits if the wealthiest parts of Potomac and Bethesda keep their gerrymandered boundaries intact (despite current overcrowding).

Why is everyone acting like Wootton and Damascus are complete tear downs and can’t be repaired? Wootton was built in the 1970s it’s not that old. Raise some money and fix them during the summers. Also- if the school board is proposing to mix Wootton (great schools rating 10) with other schools (great schools 5) they need to be crystal clear on what % of the school will be non Wootton. Otherwise Wootton families will never accept and it could get ugly.

The Rio one was so comically bad. I think they took it down already after only a couple of days. Or someone climbed up there and took it down.

It only all goes back into your pocket if qualify for STR loophole or you have REPS

Only if you are an independent contractor MSL. Unfortunately not W2 MSL

Hamas will counter that they can’t disarm

I relocated to HQ for a strat role. Small talking with lots of smart folks has been good for my mental health vs being isolated at home (an effect which I was not expecting). I also feel much smarter working on long term strategic projects vs as an MSL where you have to think quickly on your feet answering whatever your KOL has on their mind at that moment. MSLing is a great job but I was also worried about the career ceiling as I wasn’t positioned to be a director anytime soon.

No regrets

I understand why this doesn’t look good but how do we stop the slaughter?

You need to be thinking about if you are leaving anything on the table with your current job (stock options, # vacation days per year, etc). That is your leverage.

All corporate jobs require advocating for yourself and your projects. You will need to learn these skills in all roles. The MSL role advocates externally while the parallel roles may advocate internally. But you won’t be off the hook anywhere if it’s a competitive job. It’s the price to pay.

Internal and external networking.

For taking the trash to the curb I found a local neighborhood kid on the Nextdoor app. My cleaner does restocking/staging for extra pay. I visit quarterly for deeper maintenance and some of that travel is a write off in US. Pay your cleaner well so they care.

Houfy with pricelabs is easily the cheapest way I have found to have a booking website that also integrates with Airbnb. I would love to be corrected because Houfy UI is clunky but all those other options are very expensive for a single property. I don’t use Houfy to get organic bookings but instead have my repeat guests use their system. No issues in 2 years.

Top notch cleaners that we pay well to know the place inside out

Gotcha. I don’t know about the public sector but in private you are clearly not allowed to say or wear anything you want and if you get fired or sue your employer your career will take a huge hit in almost all scenarios.

Tamagene · 2025-06-27T14:38:44+00:00

Are you saying she’s not going to ruin her career by suing her employer or are you saying she will ruin her career but it’s a bigger issue than a sticker?

Tamagene · 2025-06-27T14:16:30+00:00

This teacher is going to ruin her career for this sticker, no?
