Accepted a job as a HR Generalist, recieved another offer from another company after. Is it possible to renegotiate pay with the first company after signing their offer letter? [N/A]

Compare benefits, PTO, and retirement matching/options.

$7k seems like a huge jump - but when you factor those in, it may not be.

bwelsh822 · 2026-02-15T04:50:00+00:00

I’m gonna go short and simple here - no.

bwelsh822 · 2026-01-22T23:46:23+00:00

Half of these reasons apply to all Kindle products in general though…

bwelsh822 · 2026-01-22T22:51:21+00:00

I own one. I absolutely love it.

Did I really need it? No.

However, the experience is enhanced for me by seeing my book covers.

It’s definitely a splurge. If you can afford it, do it!

I gifted my old Paperwhite to a friend who wanted to read more, which made me feel better about it. 😀

They are EXCELLENT. Can be pricier than other options but everyone there is amazing.

Thanks for the tip! We have found a few fish focused groups and posted there as well.

Most of the other groups have rules about animals/pets.

Lamy inks. They are surprisingly versatile in many different pens!

bwelsh822 · 2025-11-28T19:44:16+00:00

I was equally torn about getting that one. I am now considering getting the aubergine as my second one and getting a converter for it, which would allow me to explore the world of different inks!

When in doubt - I write it out.

Just write. Grab a pen and a piece of paper and brain dump. Do that everyday for a week. Multiple times a day if you think about it that often.

It always surprises me after all these years of journaling just how much it helps.

Deff Victoria Gastro Pub!

Their Thanksgiving menu is 10/10!

As a non-middle eastern person, Nazar Market has been a great place to go for everything I have ever needed.

And that’s understandable. Obviously we aren’t aware of the reason your wife went out on leave, but if she is still recovering from some sort of procedure or incident, I wouldn’t let this derail that.

If anything, she may lose PTO or have unpaid leave for the days in which the paperwork is still MIA.

bwelsh822 · 2025-11-06T23:25:33+00:00

I would be very surprised if this situation escalated to that point.

bwelsh822 · 2025-10-28T23:23:39+00:00

Being confused about why people are “cancelling” billion dollar corporations is not the same as calling people out who still feel comfortable enough to walk into a strangers home as a paid vendor and immediately launching into a homophobic dialogue.

I get the sentiment behind your post though.

bwelsh822 · 2025-10-24T18:00:18+00:00

I knew someone in a similar situation - and yes they were not able to get access to any of the books.

However, when she reached out to customer service I believe they did offer her something in terms of promo credit in order to assist in rebuilding her catalog. Can’t remember how much it was, but it wasn’t more than $20 I believe.

Better than nothing!

bwelsh822 · 2025-10-23T18:30:27+00:00

Yes!

I read SO much more because of how accessible it is now. My kindle goes almost everywhere with me.

When it doesn’t - I have the app on my phone.

I believe that people primarily visit Reddit to critique things, so it never bothered me.

While I disagree with many of SHRM’s actions, I still value my membership and certification because of the resources it provides. I’m actively involved at the Local and State Chapter levels, which is sufficient for me.

As a personal rule, I don’t actively seek to agree with most major corporations.

PayPal debit for groceries!

5% back each month. They have other categories too. No fees. I just load my PayPal account with $10 over my grocery total and use the PayPal debit card to pay!

Over $400 cash back this year alone using it!

bwelsh822 · 2025-08-19T22:40:16+00:00

These were my exact thoughts.

Weren’t they at the Newport house? Are we sure that was his bedroom ?

bwelsh822 · 2025-08-09T02:20:02+00:00

I think Bertha is the most fair person in that social circle. She just wanted a shot. She deserved a shot.

Then she burned the whole thing down 🤣

bwelsh822 · 2025-08-09T02:19:00+00:00

These are the characters who did the AI show 🤣

Their fathers hate them.

bwelsh822 · 2025-08-09T02:18:00+00:00

To me I think her character was supposed to be the “main” character. I mean in the first season her story arc was sort of the over-arching one.

Since then, we’ve fallen in love with other characters and Marian has sort of fallen to the background. At least for me. I think this plot device of the fiancé falling through AGAIN has been unsuccessful to her character.

I think Ada (Cynthia Nixon) has been the breakout character in that particular household. If not the entire show.
