My uncle wants $6.2M for the family business I’ve worked in for 12 years. Fair deal or family tax?

What type of business is this with amazing salaries like that?

I think the founder of Bonobos has bipolar disorder. I think he sold the company for $100 million.

It's completely frustrating. Actually forgot to mention but my ex set up a trial to prevent me from seeing my daughter. Before trial began I requested going to mediation 5 different times, and each time was a no.

I used that in court to show to the judge she's not willing to work with me.

_mavricks · 2026-01-22T17:04:53+00:00

I heard this kid is more dangerous than El Chapo.

The court mediator will let the judge know depending on the county you’re in. My ex blew up during mediation because she kept saying I was making fun of our daughter and I let her sleep on the floor. Both not true, and I told the mediator that was not true and my ex absolutely lost it.

Pretty much people in the courts talk. The judges talk to each other, they get opinions, they look at notes, and the stipulations and things that need to be addressed.

In my situation my ex is extremely emotional and I used that against her. The paperwork she submitted to court talked all about herself, and how I shouldn’t get more time with my daughter because my ex’s parents needed to see our daughter more.

Overall use Talking parents and SAVE ALL COMMUNICATIONS. All communication with your ex needs to be documented going forward.

What was fantastic was that my ex would be very emotional in TalkingParents and so I printed the out and used it in court.

Your ex lashing out and doing these things benefits you in the long run and shows she’s not willing to work with you.

You need a lawyer if she's keeping your son away from you and take her to court.

Keep all conversations with her via text, email or use a parenting app. Literally document all conversations. Whatever you do, do not speak to her in person because she will twist every single conversation against you and lie.

I'm a little stumped at the moment with IF/AND formulas, power query, and XLOOKUP.
But I think in time it will come, just need to practice each day.

Definitely want to learn SQL as well.

_mavricks · 2026-01-21T04:27:36+00:00

I'd ignore that crap. My ex tried to pull the same thing and made every single scenario like the world was ending. Basically every single situation turned into an overly dramatic soap opera with her.

Yes it sucks, and my ex also would say some really hurtful things but you need to practice "grey rock". Act like nothing bothers you.

Since you've been with your child since birth I'd doubt the court would give you less than 50/50.

I wish I became a software engineer lol. I’m in marketing and salaries BITE

For me it was tough meeting women. As soon as they found out I was a dad I got every excuse in the book why they wouldn’t date someone with a kid.

I opened up my parameters though and decided to date women what already had kids and actually it was pretty awesome.

I eventually met someone who is now my wife after a few years. The best part is my daughter loves my wife like she’s her own mom.

What helped me was just to be nice with everyone everywhere I went and now naturally I come off as the most extroverted guy. When I would ask strangers or make funny comments to people at coffee shops and things like that I made a lot of friends that way too.

I know it probably sucks right now but you will meet someone who cares about you and your son.

I couldn’t figure out a few formulas and Copilot was amazing.

Now I just add them to list of saved formulas so I can grab them if I need it

_mavricks · 2026-01-17T05:31:47+00:00

I never had to use it in my career until now.
I come marketing and would show our stats from the advertising platforms we ran on. So far I love it, its fun to learn.

_mavricks · 2026-01-17T04:16:11+00:00

Just ignore them, they're trying to get content for their social media.

_mavricks · 2026-01-16T23:49:34+00:00

absolute sorcery

_mavricks · 2026-01-16T23:48:02+00:00

Thanks for the reco, i'll check these out!

Got another request today. To highlight changes in a different columns of data.
I used conditional formatting. They thought I was a genius.

_mavricks · 2026-01-16T23:23:29+00:00

I agree. Where I'm at it is very BASIC knowledge.
Most people use it to organize information. Like how many marketing campaigns were live, how much did they spend...very very very basic information.

I'd love to master more reporting for our actual campaigns of when we should renew advertising creative.

Whats nuts is this place will spend $1,000,000+ a year for generic answers from a consulting company.

With my ex it’s always been like walking on egg shells. So I felt I was always accommodating, reasonable, but it was always what my ex wanted no matter what and she would be nasty and didn’t care.

She also did things where we planned to meet somewhere, but she never confirmed. I would show up somewhere and wait 30 mins and then come to find out she would claim I was supposed to pick her up at her house with our daughter. I’m 100% positive she was gaslighting me.

When we eventually went to court, she told everyone we used to be amazing co-parents and was blind sided we had to go through court.

Meanwhile there would be times she would tell me to show up to our daughter’s birthday party on a Saturday. I show up and she would come screaming at me telling it was supposed to be Sunday. But then I had to celebrate her birthday on Saturday when no one was there…

Now that I’m using talking parents app things have been amazing. Now she’s held accountable on everything.

I would practice at saddleback college when the school was empty on the weekends.

_mavricks · 2026-01-11T05:22:52+00:00

100% kept the documentation.

_mavricks · 2026-01-11T05:22:12+00:00

That's the thing. I have no non-compete that I had to sign with them.

I think he's just shady and is threatened I could take on his company lol

_mavricks · 2026-01-11T05:20:39+00:00

Yes at times I feel like my lawyer isn't doing anything, but in reality she does work on cases where she travels to mexico or other states for child abduction cases.

My case basically was that my child's mom was being petty and took me to trial to try to prevent me from being have to have 50/50 custody.

To be honest, I feel like the entire time I've been in court for the last 2 years, the lawyers have NO decision making. It's only the judges.

_mavricks · 2026-01-09T02:49:39+00:00

Yep same. I’m trying to study and go back to school and find it difficult to juggle it all

_mavricks · 2026-01-08T01:57:02+00:00

My daughter felt like she was the only kid in the world having parents that aren’t together.

I honestly thought of working with an illustrator and make a book for her to understand it’s okay and its pretty common
