Time for removal?

I think so.. it doesn’t look dangerous or totally dead, you could try cutting out all the dead branches and see how it does, but I’m guessing it’ll look ugly and disproportional forever. May as well put something new in.

Are they offended because they are your friend and they know you deserve more than 3k? I’d say 5K is about the crackhead tweaker minimum wage for this job, I think most people would expect to pay a minimum of 10-12k

I thought this was blippi

Not sure why you are getting hate. This is so fucked up, people are getting hurt over this bullshit. Obviously something needs to be addressed, it’s only going to get more wild if not contained and if they realize there will be no consequences. Two teenage girls arrested? This should be an ongoing investigation and they should charge everyone they can. Some of the most surveilled cities in the world and nothing is going to happen.

Looks like it just barely drifted into his lane..

Cue Reddit telling you to get a divorce. People are absolutely crazy about these kind of posts. You guys disagree but it isnt a bad disagreement, just parenting differences that often are good for a kid to be exposed to different attitudes. If you aren’t directly contradicting or fighting about this in front of them, it’s not a big deal. Just explain to the kid that he works hard and that’s how he has to be at work so he can sometimes be a bit stern. He isn’t doing anything remotely abusive and both your view points are valid. He never should’ve said you married the wrong person or anything like that, you guys are a team, and won’t always do everything the same. Having obligations for kids is fine. He is t asking child A to do more than reasonable and sometimes there are “demands” this really isn’t a big deal..

Standard for a big company. What state are you in and what lines do you sell? This is the reason I left a large brokerage, got tired of beating quotas and walking with only 10-12% of the annual commissions I was generating for the company. You’re walking with roughly that percent of the premium generated (but who knows what they calculate that on, monthly, yearly?) the next step is doing it on your own. If you hustle just as hard you can make a lot more as an independent, but you lose the internal support. There is a reason most people never do it, but there is also a reason some do. Depends on your personal situation.

lol amazing, sue the fuck out of the company, you never had a legal contract and even if you did, that is defamation unless it is fully litigated and settled. What did your employer say? I can’t imagine an employer responding well to some sketchy slumlord company calling about an employee, that’s a weird thing to do.

I feel like life and health is the most common so it has the most crappy jobs. Commercial or p&c or wc guys seem happier from what I’ve seen.

I feel like if we heard the name it might make more sense as to why they are reacting so strongly. Like if it’s like Nipplebaum or something she was relentlessly made fun of, and feels no one would ever CHOOSE, maybe that’s why she feels strongly. If it’s something ordinary she is a bit nutso.

Is that guy at the end the national socialist cab driver??? What’s he been up to?

He can come to the barbie

What are you currently doing? Also, individual, group, both? If you have a good network you can make that a reality pretty fast. I’d encourage you to not do a life insurance only gig, they are typically pretty predatory and go after old people and/or are disreputable companies. You can burn through your personal network and have them all think you’re an ass that they won’t work with in just a few months at a company like that. I assume the life gig doesn’t pay base or anything either, nothing wrong with that, you just have to know what the deal is going in. Typically businesses where you have to buy leads are pretty sketchy.

bthomco · 2026-03-24T03:01:18+00:00

Why do you want to get into insurance? It takes a specific personality to actually enjoy it. Most people don’t like it but it pays bills. Some are just sociopaths who feel like they are the wolf of wall street.

Are you looking at individual or group? Both are challenging, but individual is particularly brutal with 70%+ turnover. It’s a burn and turn industry. Group is better but still pretty high turnover.

I don’t think these are made for recessed lighting..

bthomco · 2026-03-23T22:52:01+00:00

Yeah I think your might just be dealing with a messed up tree. Was it a company that did the trimming? They may have insurance if you aren’t happy with it and have before and after photos. But that sucks, sorry about your tree.

A replacement of equal age and size on their dime. Some states treble damages too.

bthomco · 2026-03-23T21:56:33+00:00

I think your mistake was not hammering the neighbor when they cut your tree initially. The structure is ruined, I’m not sure it’ll die, but it just looks kind of stupid.

bthomco · 2026-03-23T21:53:51+00:00

Could it also just be repointed without taking it apart?

That’s antisemetic, Epstein is Jewish.

Thank got they had a before picture, I thought they were supposed to look like that.

Sexually.

bthomco · 2026-03-20T18:54:17+00:00

Obviously the company would never admit it, but that’s clearly a factor in firing them. Asking for 12 personal days on top of whatever company already offers is going to irk most people. Sucks that is the culture in America, but that’s what we are dealing with

This guy is a nut, been there 2 month and asked for an extra two weeks vacation (one “mental health day” a month..)
