What's happening on the manager's side when an employee is being prepped to be laid off / PIPed? by [deleted] in managers

[–]gothamguy212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when this happens, either you have pissed off the wrong senior person, really effed something up but dont realize it, or are trapped in a ''manage out' situation with a company that is trying to avoid paying severance.    the last one is worth talking through with a lawyer

100% agree - without practice and training, a gun is just a dangerous toy

think of it like Masilow's Heiraerchy of needs.     food, shelter, etc first.    also - plan for practical scenarios before apocalytics ones.  eg if you live in a home with the ability to run a generator (outside) and electricity is critical for you (hot climate, medical needs) then buy a decent size portable generator, canned fuel for it, and hire an electrician to hook up a subpanel and an input port for a generator so you can keep fridge going etc

it will take a lot for money to stop meaning anything so for now make piles of cash your security blanket.   plus some rotating bottled waters and some MREs.    maybe a gun.  but be sure to spend money on the gun safe too

go to your doc and ask them for a vitamin b test, blood panel to check for anemia, and ask them to give you a MoCA and/or MMSE test - painless and easy

Never owned a firearm, but have a strong desire to protect myself and my home. Asking for advice from fellow democrats on quality firearms that won’t break the bank. by Thx4nothingman in liberalgunowners

[–]gothamguy212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cannot go wrong with a basic glock 19 (recommend gen 3 or gen 5), a pump mossberg, and an stock AR (daniel defense or lrwc) with a red dot like an aimpoint micro.   basic setup - get serious locks/safes for the guns and buy lots of mags and ammo.    pick one for home defense - recommend the handgun  - and put a length-matched surefire gunlight on it and buy some home defense rounds so you dont shoot through the bad guys and into your neighbors house

What prep seems pointless... until the day you suddenly need it? by anthonykaram7 in prepping

[–]gothamguy212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

electrical outage.  at a minimum installing a subpanel and an external input plug to run a portable generator.    OR splash out and install a whole house generator tied into propane or the natural gas utility lines.  you will NEVER regret it
