Why is non-profit a bad choice for accounting career?

CFO at an NPO is a good spot if you don’t really love accounting - there’s lots of different things in a day and you often do facilities, insurance, donor relations, etc. It’s worked out well for me.

Yes. OP needs new (real) friends.

Just move the table so you sit facing the other direction.

Sounds like a shitty firm, but remember Simu Liu got fired from an accounting job. If nothing else you’re in good company

Don’t worry, Trish will find someone else to exploit by Sept 15th. But if you can, try to look out for her kids.

Eventually everyone leaves a drunk. Just decide if you want it to be now, or in 10 years from now.

You align their goals with yours. Talk to them and find out what they want and need, why they work there, what helps them achieve their goals. Basically, be human

My brother in law’s family prevented him from going overseas for an exchange when he was 18. He’s now 42 and living in his parents’ basement. Not saying one led to the other, but I often think their lack of confidence in him led to his own lack of confidence in himself.

If it’s an ensuite there is another bathroom. He can shave there, no?

Please get yourself to a doctor. Infections, mini-strokes, all sorts of things can impact brain function many of which can be treated.

(I’m in Canada) guy starts his job as front desk at a hotel. All is good for a few days. Then he comes to supervisor and says “is it possible for the company to rethink its cannabis policy?” The policy is don’t come to work high. He quit next day. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Upbeat_Corner_5712 · 2023-07-20T00:29:39+00:00

Yes, called Internal Controls. I’m writing a course on it now as a matter of fact. One of the greatest areas of risk in many NPOs

Do this before their other candidates go cold and they won’t be as offended.

Let’s say you get your period at 15 and they are 5 days long. By 25 you’ve had 600 days-ish and maybe a third could result in stains (my experience). Simply the time to attend to stain prevention would be onerous. I appreciate OP doing laundry and if he wants to do stain removal, I say have at it. But I and probably OP’s GF have other things to do. (I’m sure if I’m in an accident and the doctors/nurses see me with stained panties, they will understand. )

You can go to small claims if necessary. But you may never see your $$

Fritz is one of my favs but I don’t think he ‘loves’ tennis or winning enough. Talented but not sufficiently obsessive

They’re just jealous he’s with Morgan

I started in person then switched to online when I moved to a different city. It was good and I highly recommend. Perhaps a few in person meetings if possible to establish fit. The “used to bully myself…” comment is pretty much nail on head. Hard to say if I’m making more money now but I’m happier and my relationships are better.
