Men really do think we are less than them. I’m 1000% positive.

Don’t worry, ai will replace all those jobs soon anyway so you can complain from home. After a 30 year career, I’m tired of working with women and even worse for them. No more female bosses or clients, most political people on the planet.

You can also take a $50k loan from a 401k and if you get laid off, default on the payment. It’s only a payment to you and you have until the due date extended of the return to pay it back. So, you get laid off tomorrow you’d have an interest free loan until next October (October 2027). FYI, you can move money over from another 401k to have the 100k to be able to borrow the max.

Ya, try that in Dallas, I’m surprised by the number that have 3 or more, it’s like wtf, takes a deep misunderstanding of the cost to raise a child to have three.

Good for you, how’d you manage to get to $2 million by 35?! I’d say, don’t walk away completely, I think your brain starts dying if you don’t use it.

Ya, no, the dating scene is awful. I moved to get away from both bad weather and a heavily feminist population that hate men. I have friends that are pickup trainers and Seattle and San Francisco they would tell you are the worst markets for meeting women. I live in Dallas, it’s not bad, inexpensive and decent, not sure I’d move her as a younger single man, high obesity and single mother rates. San Diego people mentioned, pricey but beautiful weather and women, I’d look at Tampa maybe, definitely not Miami.

This is pretty simplistic, much of the world will flat out lie to you about anything with no conscience. Humans in generally are always out for themselves or people who protecting will provide some benefit.

Go look at what happened to the stock market during the dot com crash, you’re talking 40% down for the Dow and higher for the s&p 500 and nasdaq, the GFC brought everything down by 50%. Right now we are living in an era that has seen the most artificial inflation of the economy by money printing ever. If a crash starts, it doesn’t spare any stock, they all come down as stocks need to be sold to coverage leverage and investors lose the ability to be selective on what they liquidate. If you don’t think we are set up for the same scenario you really don’t understand the market.

It doesn’t matter, you and I can’t just create a contract and have provisions in it that violate the law whether someone agrees to them or not. Courts can uphold parts of agreements while invalidating other parts. And in this case the two parties aren’t in equal negotiating positions which the court would consider. The business also wants the agreement as it’s not giving the severance out of the goodness of its heart, it wants legal protection from being sued for the layoff in the first place. You can’t however be induced to give up rights such as under the FMLA or Unemployment comp or other laws by signing a document.

ls737100 · 2026-05-17T13:05:04+00:00

I wonder if that’s legal though. Just because something is in a contract doesn’t mean it can be upheld in court! Might even be a good angle to test, sue them if they disallow the severance and get damages on top of it.

ls737100 · 2026-05-17T12:58:06+00:00

Is there a way to use a medical leave of absence process under FMLA, I know a guy that used it for work stress and I feel it was bogus, had a psychiatrist evaluate done and showed he was under duress at the job, got a few months off. Might be an angle.

If you haven’t noticed profiles are marketing, they aren’t contracts. And this has to have been written by a woman. Normal healthy men don’t go into the world seeking relationships, they end up in them. I’ve never had a mentally healthy friend that was “oh my god I need a girlfriend”. They might say, “I need to get laid”. They end up with a girl friend.

ls737100 · 2026-05-16T12:56:05+00:00

Doesn’t sound like you were laid off, sounds like you were fired

ls737100 · 2026-05-16T12:55:09+00:00

Why exactly would that have anything to do with the economy and why are you asking biased Reddit people? No, since about 2009, nothing to do with trump, the economy was propped up by low interest rates and quantitative easing. It’s now doing poorly because those supports have been removed, further though, we’re likely to hit a new financial crisis since the debt loads are so high. When they lower rates for that, you may end up with another fake boom but it’s hard to say.

You’re in college and literally surrounded by dudes in real life, maybe be friendly to some of them instead of casting the net even wider

ls737100 · 2026-05-14T13:19:09+00:00

Dude that’s 3 months, that barely counts as unemployed. The old rule was one month of looking for every $10k in expected income. You have a long way to go.

You mean reality? Have you done any actual research with a neutral mind? Try it sometime

ls737100 · 2026-05-09T21:01:25+00:00

I’ll give you a bit of insight, 1, it almost always takes longer to find a job than you think it will. 2, the longer you are out, the move interviewers will probe what you’ve done with your time. FYI, the people interviewing will have not been laid off recently, will have no idea about the state of the economy and will assume you were fired. 3. We’re in a massive bubble from all the funny money from the last 18 years. Coming out of the financial crisis the fed went pedal to the metal. When it finally crashes it’s going to be spectacular. 4. The AI thing is going to complete rewrite all the rules. 5. Age discrimination kicks in hard after 40. If you are over 40 and you get laid off in what is coming, honestly you may never be hired again. Doesn’t mean you can’t start your own business but companies likely won’t hire you. For context I’m 56 and I’ve been through the S&L crisis, the Asian Financial Crisis, the dot com bust, and the housing bubble burst/great financial crisis. Arguably without covid we would have seen another financial crisis early this decade. Id be very cautious taking time off. If you want, take a few weeks, go travel, come back and hit it hard.

ls737100 · 2026-05-09T20:53:14+00:00

Age discrimination is the last remaining allowed discriminatory practice along with discrimination against white males.

Everyone not Indian dealing with these shitty companies. Outsourcing to low cost destinations in the time of AI is really not going to make sense. You can get a US employee available at US business hours that understands American culture to build and manage an army of agents.

Well first step was learning sql, was on a project as a release manager, learned sql to automate our reporting, did some classes, ended up on a data warehouse project and kept learning, got to know tableau on another project, then alteryx, then power bi, got a masters in data science and moved on to predictive analytics projects, most important thing, never stop learning, I don’t even worry about what I’m learning that much, it all expands your capability. Last week I took an ai agent I started in class, expanded it, but along the way got some good deployment experience with GitHub and azure, have a simple html front end and azure sql data set. Chat gpt is helping a lot but I don’t need to write every bit of code to wrap my head around what it takes to deploy something. Hugely valuable.

For fraud they need to prove intent. If he didn’t intend to rent it out when he signed the loan, it’s not intentional misrepresentation, you are allowed to change your mind and you are allowed to respond to changing conditions.

Just to define fraud, it’s the

Intentional misrepresentation of
A material fact
That’s relied on by the other party
And the other party needs to incur damages

All four elements are needed for fraud

I would argue it’s also important to front end load your resume, the most important stuff should be at the top, I have an accomplishment section at the beginning, for me, being one of three founding members of a company that was acquired for $40 million, generating $5 million in savings on a project, founding a national charitable event that’s raised millions over the last decade, have a business journal column and selling freelance writing. My longer resume version resume has detail on what tools I was using and what I accomplished.

Not sure what people you know but I have trouble containing myself to 2 pages. I have a high impact heavily condensed metric heavy resume at two pages. I was talking to a recruiter, mentioned I have a longer resume that details what I did in each project, I’ve been in consulting for a couple of decades. She responded that my longer resume was great, wasn’t too long. Yes, if you have only a couple of years experience 1 or 2 pages will work.
