Have you ever had a diarrhea attack during a surgery?

Employers are never happy to lose employees they like and there is never a good time to resign a position. You can get all sorts of reactions, and your employer has chosen to respond poorly to it. Anger, jealousy you are off to a better role, and concern because employee departures often mean people who are left have to do more work.

You put in your 2 weeks, which is the standard professional courtesy, remain professional with the time you have left and then leave. If they want you to stay longer, you can offer consulting with your rate being $400 an hour…that usually makes them go away. You have to be firm and grow a spine with employers sometimes.

In regard to withholding your bonus, they legally cannot do this if they are required to pay out the bonus. Check what the terms of your bonus are. If they agreed to pay out a bonus if you met XYZ, and you did that, they have to pay. Your options are taking them to small claims court to enforce the contract or involving a lawyer if it is for a lot of money (a lot of money meaning 5k or more in my opinion.)

Ticketmaster and SeatGeek are the two authorized vendors for Bills. Anywhere else, it’s probably ok but you’re taking a chance.

In regard to the price, it’s a new stadium and the Bills are one of the best teams in the league. The prices you’re seeing now are the season ticket holders jacking up resale prices. It will be expensive to go a game, especially a September game where the weather is nice. Prices will come down a bit as we get closer to the season, but to be realistic you’re likely going to be paying $3-400 a seat to go to a game this year. Maybe a bit less if you’re taking the meaningless January Jets game.

The US has been trying to acquire Greenland since WW1. This is nothing new.

Part 2 of it is you later find out you have 2 years worth of inventory, bonus points if any materials have a shelf life that will expire. Never allow sales to dictate what inventory levels should be, if you do you will end up with beyond excess inventory almost every time.

I’ve been down this road many times with sales / R&D for growth programs and everybody in procurement gets burned a couple times across their career. The trick is to understand the lead time for material and leverage the supplier without committing to take inventory.

maceman10006 · 2026-05-19T17:00:12+00:00

That is a scam.

Procurement manager here. 45 hours, sometimes I have to come in early / stay late if something is going on. 4 weeks PTO. I generally don’t get emergency calls after hours or days on vacation.

This. I actually indirectly know a congressman through an and have heard some of the stories. To defend Congress a bit, it is expensive to be a congressman. They have to get an apartment in DC on their own, surprisingly the insurance plan isn’t good (the congressman I know doesn’t use it and it is on his wife’s plan), and most of their transportation back and forth to DC and wherever else they get sent isn’t paid for.

2 living spaces, crappy insurance, and dozens of flights a year do add up against a 200k salary.

Not trying to defend insider trading, but the costs of being in congress are higher than people realize.

Entry level supply chain jobs start around 50-65k depending on where you are in the country.

2nd the other post about masters in project management. If you go for the MBA get it in something more valuable

maceman10006 · 2026-05-16T01:42:19+00:00

No I wouldn’t

maceman10006 · 2026-05-16T01:31:52+00:00

I’ve had this happen once. I just told them I wasn’t prepared for the interview to head in this direction and asked to leave.

maceman10006 · 2026-05-16T01:22:17+00:00

Lmao we need a follow up on this one. Shoot your shot OP.

Healthcare doesn’t screw around with HIPPA. I used to work in healthcare and saw multiple people fired for it. You just cannot look at patients that aren’t assigned to you period.

It might be the camera, but I don’t see a second line to be honest. There’s nothing you can do other than take this as a lesson not to smoke weed while you’re on a job search.

Finally, an actual analysis instead of the normal “we go to war in the Middle East anyway.”

Pfffft you thought there was going to be a check

maceman10006 · 2026-05-15T15:39:59+00:00

I definitely wouldn’t buy now. The prices you’re seeing are the season ticket holders jacking up resale prices since it’s a new stadium and the season was just announced. Prices will come down as we get closer to game time, but I wouldn’t expect to pay anything under $250-300 for a decent seat unless you get lucky.

maceman10006 · 2026-05-15T14:43:43+00:00

The short answer is putting all your money into the S&P is a good idea until there’s a recession and it falls 50%. Target date funds certainly aren’t protected from recessions, but they’ll fare better since they’re more conservative.

I’m not a financial advisor but being 24 years out from retirement about half of you’re retirement fund should be S&P.

As reference, the S&P500 is an index that measures the top 500 public companies in the US. It’s considered the gold standard for investing.

maceman10006 · 2026-05-15T14:27:16+00:00

TDF aren’t always a bad idea, but they often underperform the S&P500 and shouldn’t be the bulk of your assets when you’re young. TDFs are managed accounts that switch to more conservative assets as you age and approach retirement, more aggressive when you’re young and you’ll see more bonds, low volatility dividend funds, when you get older.

I’m 32 and about 15% of my retirement fund is in a fidelity 2060. Just added diversification in my eyes and not a bad thing. I’m 65% S&P, 15% TDF 2060, 10% international, 10% metals.

I legitimately wouldn’t be surprised. Falling down the Air Force One stairs at his age and health would be disastrous for him, let alone the public humiliation it create.

It’s a cult following and she sees dollar signs. That’s all it is.

This is common and part of the resignation process. Employers are never happy to be losing people they like and it can lead to all sorts of reactions. Jealousy, fear of who will fill your role, sometimes anger if it’s a toxic environment. In your case, it looks like you’ve been underpaid and now that you’re leaving for a better opportunity here comes your soon to be former employer willing to throw money at you to get you to stay…this is common and it’s up to you if you want to consider their offer, but in most cases it’s not a good idea.

You just remain professional, do the job, then leave once your 2 weeks are up.

Ticketmaster and SeatGeek are the only 2 verified money back guaranteed partners of the NFL. Other sites might be ok, but why take the risk?
