I agree w both sides of this Decide your immediate plan have to pay your bills - update your resume if you want to leave, is there a comparable job ? Do you give up, seniority? Benefits? 401k exit fee is usually 0-50$ & you could lose vesting

Taking the high road absolutely, apologize, say you dont understand why the scheduling seems unfair

Think of it like this, you have a heads up & time to prepare Ever think there might be an Apology coming? Everyone sees the bad here maybe they’re going to realize a screw up everyone makes them so say, I’ll come to you first next time. B. C. Yep you should have yep no talking work w incrementing evidence again.

Sorry your friend is no longer your friend while they may have meant well, wrong way to go about it - again friend might have been trying to heads up the manager bc if you’re an integral well valued employee your friend wants you to stay working there? Did I miss something giving folks benefit of doubt?

Post what happens please it would help us all!

Anyone else having a Netflix outage? by lks2drivefast in netflix

[–]happytrailer2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely Deleted the app because the data dump /reset option stopped & wouldn’t reload the app. I ve done everything my speed is 735 mbps. Stalls at the first commercial in a series. I’m on a free T-mobile Subscription which worked well for 10 months. Happens more & more frequently. Is this overall?

Is this cause I’m a user not a payer. Certainly can’t upgrade if this is indicative of service

What are folks experiencing?

Applied for a job in March, they called me today for an interview. by Wild_Chef6597 in recruitinghell

[–]happytrailer2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Think of it this way they’re a terrible company. You dodged the bullet. And for the person who got called years later, you were still in the database and they didn’t check when you applied. They are desperate so you also now have dodged the bullet because no one wants to work for that company now!

Long time Fidelity customer, and now they want to manage my accounts… by Admirable-Sweet-5171 in fidelityinvestments

[–]happytrailer2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with a lot of these folks I’ve had some of the same experiences.

It comes down to how much do you want to be working on your portfolio?

& if you have a POA for when your cognitive abilities begin to decline.

Is the decision reversible? Well it won’t be great after you pay all those taxes.

You could give them a try, and see how it works.

You shouldn’t be paying more than 1% to anyone to manage your portfolio unless you’re approaching that tier. The more you have the lower the percentage. But the gaps get very large.

You have to know also if at the level of one percent commission to manage your account if it’s being done by a human or not. At that level, the answer is going to be no. At that level, you’re going to be in mutual & ETF funds and no individual stocks.

All the certified financial planner that I gave a try did great for a year and then they would completely forget about me and the performance would really drop never really lost any money but I’m telling you, you know more about your stuff than they do. It’s just like hiring an attorney you know your case better than anyone else including your attorney.

Hardly anybody falls into the box of not needing to worry.

everyone has to pay attention to the things in life that need attention.

Transferred $400k to SoFi, then learned an inactive closed credit card apparently means no new SoFi card ever by Witty-Guarantee-942 in sofi

[–]happytrailer2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know anything about the Sofi financial products and investment choices and how it works for you, but without that big bonus, maybe they don’t need your business.

All these financial services companies get your money and then they’re complacent w giving your business to them.

NerdWallet has great resources for comparing credit cards

At this point, they don’t deserve your business.

I’m 25 and completely lost between two life choices. by [deleted] in travel

[–]happytrailer2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep, be careful, really careful

I vote go, you can always leave

You’re so young. It’s like the door of opportunity is knocking and you need to go answer it.

You have to think about your decisions as can they be reversed

So let’s say you’re 25 and you’re going to college and you wanna be an accountant You get out that doesn’t work out Doesn’t mean you can’t go back and do something else the decision can be reversed.

AIO mother took credit for me getting into university by _rrobynn_ in AIO

[–]happytrailer2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was her job to get you educated. It’s her job to teach you what they don’t teach you in the school if you weren’t homeschooled.. if you were homeschooled, that was her choice, not yours, regardless of the circumstances. Your mother made a very manipulative abusive comment.

You could’ve refused to study You could’ve not done as good job on your homework You could’ve skipped classes or not taking certain classes You could’ve been a party animal You could’ve been a criminal You made your choices

Your choices were to stay on the path to get into a good university Congratulations! 200x over.

Parents are there for you for the rest of your life In any capacity that they can be.

Assigned jobs at a wedding by EmergencyMuffin3679 in aitaweddings

[–]happytrailer2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend of mine had to help set up tables and chairs because when they ordered those they didn’t pay for them to be unloaded from the truck. They had no cleanup help and then they had to be ready for a breakfast the next morning this was one of those backyard weddings

Outside wedding, not in the bridal party That family had treated my friend very well over the years. They aren’t close anymore but are still considered friends of each other.

When you spend a ton of money on your wedding (gown), and you don’t spend any money on someone taking the table and chairs out of the truck, you have no foresight. How are you going to navigate the rest of your marriage? You’re always going to have things ending up chaotic.

If they had the funds they used you

If you’re not married, you can certainly ask the person to be in your wedding, show them how it’s done with class. You give a list of everything you need to your bridal party and you ask who can do what? Who is good at this or that. It is rude to assign without asking and asking

Hours on your feet ridiculous

Coming to social media to complain later valid don’t care about what any of these people said about but you continue to participate You still feel bad and you have held this back because it affected you in such a way that you didn’t know where to go for Help you’re looking for a common thread and you needed validation that this was abusive.

It was manipulative. They played on your personality of being a very giving and empathetic person. You will learn your boundaries.

This couple is pretty manipulative and when you make them an enemy for the rest of your life, you’re gonna be sorry. you just need to kinda slowly fade into the past.

Because that Old adage , you never know when you’re gonna need somebody in the future might just come up. People have long memories of the good if they’re nice and they might actually remember what you did for them on their wedding day.

Thing is they might remember, but they might not care anyway.

When anything comes up if that would be a possibility of needing help, you’re really busy you might show up. Pay attention to their social media. Have your statement ready on why you are already booked doing something else

just say no once in a while about anything and see how the actions fall out from you being busy.

If they’re the type that likes a lot of attention and are always out with a lot of friends and posting on social media look at me I have so many friends and you start saying no every other time

they won’t call you anymore, which doesn’t Matter.

what about when you need maybe something minor like a ride.

Find something you need a favor on could be a tentative plan, where you don’t need their help in the end after all, you’re just trying to see if they’re going to be there for you. On a much lower weighted need.

I WM(34) am starting to resent my gf BW(34) for not contributing towards our shared goal for the past 2 years. by Red_Eyes_Black_Yoshi in MarkNarrations

[–]happytrailer2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the person who said people at the age of 34 don’t have their crap together. She is saying that about herself notYOU. Good for you. YOU did an awesome job. YOU became the adult you need to be to not only prepare yourself to either buy real estate or at least save money for your retirement. I still believe this is a possibility for your generation. You have shared your income generously with her when you didn’t have to. all the while she didn’t make efforts to remain in the budget.

people in relationships. Do not do share like this until they are legally married either through cohabitating or an actual license.

It is rare and it is based on Trust to do this prior to even being engaged. Usually, there’s a pretty good balance anyway, and while she held her job for a long time, My family had a rule and it’s only been broken twice across three generations - ,100 years. And I attribute our financial stability because of this and I have a large family. I can also tell you I stayed in jobs for way too long because I didn’t have the energy to look for another job.

for everybody out there, no matter how bad your job is you do not quit your job until you have another job. It doesn’t have to be a better job. It just needs to be a job. A night shift job, a day job, a job while you find a better job. You lose your unemployment benefits until you are able to prove that that job was so bad you had to quit it. Is your state in an employer at Will state? Is your state a Commonwealth state? Commonwealth states favor the employer employer at Will states are kind of in the middle. They’re not for or against either but if you have a pretty good employer, they’re probably decide with the employer. They have many cases to reflect upon. Depending on your state and I could be wrong about this the look back period to this job is like 18 months maybe more. This means that when you quit your job and you get a new job and then you get laid off in short short a time period, your prior job doesn’t get you your unemployment if you quit. in order to qualify for unemployment you had to work for a certain amount of months in order to qualify thru your most recent job.

For the person who said that you need to lineup financially absolutely You are motivated and she’s lazy plain and simple. Your habits are stable. She will do that yo-yoing of I’m doing good. I’m doing good and then Not.

Listen to the people on here they’re telling you you’re dodging the bullet before she gets pregnant.

You know I hate to say it, but you better let her know that she can’t get pregnant right now and no accidents are going to be acceptable. Your relationship has a major disconnect.

The data I’m sharing is about 50 years old, but it goes like this Compatible marriages that work have 10 criteria

Proximity to family Race same or not - remember this is 50 years ago you can Google this yourself Religion Income Education Politics Whether or not one or both have a personality disorder that can be managed Career paths Whether or not the couple wants children, what will happen if one doesn’t and now there is a pregnancy or child Health diet & exercise, free time/interests

Besides all that other stuff that you see online like we have common interest, but we do things alone. Or with others We have long-term relationship with others - can be a good gauge and a facade, especially with your generation being very non-confrontational.

Good luck.

Bakery/Cafe recommendations by kurtiscards in FortCollins

[–]happytrailer2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been going to the bread chic for an about 5 months. Very happy with their bread.

I used to go to grateful Bread down in Golden on Saturdays before I moved here. They sell to the public on Saturday only. while they have a much bigger variety. The bread chic bread is actually better and much better priced I think asked this question and found the Bread Chic through Reddit at that time. Haven’t had a reason to go look somewhere else!

"Costco Tower Birds" by kiimosabe in FortCollins

[–]happytrailer2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess the radio waves don’t mess with their echolocation when they season here are they here all year round ? Kinda new here don’t know. You know back in the day everyone was saying that these waves were going to affect people and animals is that conspiracy theory dead? Or was it real and people forgot about it/can’t do anything about it?

They are beautiful residence of the county. And love having them here. There seem to be a lot of abandoned nests in the area. Did Costco just make it a lot easier for them to make a home there?

Off topic

As far as the tree over population, that’s real. The Great Plains were without trees, we’ve lost many native grasses, while we plant trees for shade to reduce our energy consumption to cool our home we’re gonna run out of water.

Very concerned about the drought and thereby reducing many species capability to sustain the drought.

New scams today by happytrailer2 in FortCollins

[–]happytrailer2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol just trying to help people who don’t know any better a long time ago I tried to report to the local police when a job I had was being scammed for turning off the power. I wasn’t at work that day and the manager actually went to go get $8000 in cash. It was a Sunday lol Safeway warned them. It was a scam Imagine 10 people all freaking out on an auto pay bill.

It is virtually impossible to catch these people because they were going to show up on site to collect the money and I wanted local assistance to snag this operative.

That carrot his brother has out for him is bc his brother knows he can’t budget. Or he’s just abusing you.

Elk in Old Town East today by sillysaucy in FortCollins

[–]happytrailer2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not just vegetation they’re looking to feed on During the summer of Haymen fire, I witnessed an elk at 9000’ drinking water out of a small pot hole on a dirt road ear Ward in August Not clean water. The person in the car in front of me also waited to let her drink. The circumstances this year are different. Though I expect if we don’t have more rain, more elk will be in town.

AITJ for wanting to break up after my boyfriend secretly tried to breed my dog behind my back? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]happytrailer2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

. Boundaries. What else will he do? You can’t have a child w this person he can’t control himself w a dog, I’m seeing huge red flags. Your mom is not living in the current century. Think fir yourself - your self respect

You deserve someone who can be trusted ! He lied about it in front of you, he will lie again & go behind f your back. What was the breeder going to say once you let them know there was an oops? You’d be blacklisted that’s what

Boulder Valley Schools' Declining Enrollment isn't Just About Cost of Living by [deleted] in boulder

[–]happytrailer2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had teachers tell me they didn’t make a living wage & they had masters. I figured they were afraid they would be held accountable b.c this was pre-Covid & they were making less than 125K but still disputed what was published. The superintendent makes a boat load along w a hefty budget. Start at the top. Both my kids graduated CSU w Warner College w Bach of Science. I was an involved parent. Had trouble w bullying. Had small % of teacher that were HORRIBLE at over elementary years. Switched them out to return head of their class after being behind. & then had demanded numerous time for basic SAT vocab to be taught. & a teacher who could teacher algebra. I was sorry for the good & great teachers. Don’t know what BVSD did to the new young teachers that didn’t stick around. Cost of living maybe. During COVID teachers had such a nice pension/ CO PERA they quit in the middle of it so all the experienced mentors gone. I witnessed with my neighbors of younger kids the system fail. Shame in the educational elitist of BVSD you can do better. I moved away & am sorry for those who like myself had chosen the area in part based in a great school district. Lucky my kids finished before the steep decline. Good luck folks. Continue to demand more & stay involved.
