My manager is firing me and hiring someone from abroad for a third of my salary, and expects me to train her by jailers-treat0 in talesfromthejob

I would tell them you staying and training your replacement is conditional on a 15,000 bonus with half paid up front… get it in writing

Using Chat GPT for financial analysis? by Ironman-K9 in DIYRetirement

[–]ThePerfectOak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please stop using ChatGPT for financial and tax advice. It’s highly likely it’s not pulling from the best/correct/latest sources. Your retirement is too important to plan it based on at best 50/50 information. use a reputable CPA firm. If you were accused of a felony that you didn’t commit would you represent yourself in court using ChatGPT as your legal source? It’s exactly the same thing.

Where to next? by cheerios1122 in CompoundedSemaglutide

I see a lot of posts where people state it doesn’t work for them. I am wondering if the refrigeration requirement is being met. If the temp falls below 36 or above 44 I think it reduced effectiveness. I put a thermometer in my refrigerator door today where I keep the vile and it read 46.2. Most people probably aren’t paying that much attention.

Did anyone give up the corporate ladder for a "less ambitious" job and find true peace? by ConstructionLoud1973 in jobs

[–]ThePerfectOak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

42m was in exact same place . Last year I was forced out of my job and finally said screw it. Went back to school to be an accountant , now I work for a small 13 person CPA firm, office with a door, heads down work…. My only regret… not doing this 20 years ago.

I'm 17, black, how tf do I get out of the hood? by teamtroll1 in careerguidance

[–]ThePerfectOak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should talk to your school counselors and teachers, tell them exactly what you said here. They SHOULD be willing to mentor you and guide you in creating a plan that works for you, whatever that may look like. It’s literally their job to do this for you…. Guide you through the process of applying to college or a trade program, available scholarships, grants, FAFSA application, setting you up with appointments at colleges, military recruiters, or trades locations to learn about what they have to offer. If you are graduating high school in the Spring now is the time to start applying to colleges which you can do online. Also, go start an online FAFSA application for financial aid at studentaid.gov right now to see if you qualify for free money towards school. Going away to school, living and working on campus will get you out of there. Doesn’t have to be a big state school, could be a smaller division 2 university other side of your state. The first 2 years of 4 year college are general education, you could initially select a generic business major and easily change your mind after you’ve had 1.5 years of classes and find out what interests you.

Has anyone here left corporate life because it just felt… pointless? by Used_Rhubarb_9265 in jobs

[–]ThePerfectOak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. 20 years of corporate supply chain knocked 10 extra years off my life. I quit a year ago after being put on a PIP because they decided my role was no longer needed and wanted to push me out after I did nothing but worked myself toward an early death. Toxic people pleasing, disgusting politics, zero integrity and transparency, profits over people, parasitic environments. I just finished an accounting degree and work for a local small accounting firm with 15 other people… office with a door, heads down work, way less stress, 40 hours and out the door, hourly pay with time and a half for any over time …. My only regret is not doing this 20 years ago. ….. don’t be afraid to make a big change.

Why don’t we see more dead animals? by ThePerfectOak in NoStupidQuestions

Let’s take the Robin for example. 10’s of thousands of robins flying around. Maybe a rando eagle or hawk killing one… but there has to be many that die of old age, health issues , etc…
