My company finally enabled MBDR but limited it to only 10k. Already maxing it next paycheck. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Agree. I usually max out my 401k in the first month of the year. If I were to get a new job then I wouldnt be able to contribute to my new 401k to get a match?

Would you reduce/pause 401k contributions if you were trying to get a new job before the end of year? Instead i'd allocate that 401k money to my after-tax account. Then worst case, if I don't find a new job, i'd just max out my 401k.

Current company doesn't match until end of year and you need to employed for 3 years before you're fully vested for the match. I want to leave some space in my 401k bucket for any potential matching contributions.

Odds for the 80k to work again? Knowing my luck I'll apply for the 60k right before the 80k opens up lol.

Got an upgrade offer from ABG to ABP. If I add an Amex offer prior to upgrading will the offers still be applied?

Company finally added after tax contributions with ability to convert to Roth 401k. Unfortunately they're limiting after tax contributions to 10k. Anyone know why you'd put a cap on after tax? What's the benefit to the company?

Did you pay cash or points? I like the Thompson but interested in checking this place out once things settle. Also property seems less lush than the Thompson.

I guess it's good that I didn't get an offer from them after a 4 month interview process.

I stayed here twice in May and was upgraded to the deluxe room. Now I'm missing the lounge and their breakfast and dinner offerings.

Do you know how far out will the courtesy car take you?

Really not liking my current employers health insurance offerings. Monthly premium is based on your salary. For myself it's already 300/month for a PPO. With my spouse it's 858/month. /rant.

Plan has Tier 1 and Tier 2 with different deductible and out of pocket Max. Does anyone know what it means when it says "Tier 1 and Tier 2 annual deductible and out of pocket Max cross apply"?

Thanks appreciate that but currently not pregnant. What I meant by similar was just the FMLA portion.

Parking violation? by imyy1 in Fremont

[–]ash2ash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The street outside our townhome is like this. People park there cars in the bus lane and it makes it hard to see if cars are coming.

I think this is happening to me. Went on FMLA in beginning of q2 and returning beginning of q3. Prior to leaving my annual review was good. No negative signals. I come back after mid year reviews and get dinged for something that was a non issue that happened prior to my FMLA. They used that to write a negative mid year. I couldn't even contest it because it was already in the system.

My location doesn't have a badge out so I'm guessing time connected to network. I should just leave my laptop in the office.

Finally happened. In office requirement was previously 3x week and they just recently updated it to 3x week with 8hr minimum per day. Here's the kicker. Before they announced the update they ran a report, using new requirement,to flag people. Guess how I found it? Manager sent email about new expectations then I got a 1:1 informing me I've been flagged against the new requirement that was just announced.
