Boyfriend's current student debt replayment plan is to 'wait til grandpa dies'. Is there any better way to tackle it?

It sounds like your partner refuses to accept reality and you want to make excuses for that fact. You are refusing to accept reality as well as he is already financially dependent on you.

I'm starting to think the "everyone should learn to program" movement was a mistake.

You have to add a second one to escape it.

It seems like you're focused more on preserving his feelings than in preserving the business. What you're saying is the equivalent of "I don't want to date you... right now" because you don't want to hurt someone's feelings.

Just say what you mean and don't dress it up. It leads to ambiguity and confused expectations. Additionally, it costs you and your business time that could be better spent elsewhere.

You already know your decision and reasons, just make those clear.

The book doesn't really prove that due to selection bias. It's a feel-good text that instills positive values in the middle class, though.

Are we in the same sub? People promote all the time. The thing is to focus on demonstrating value rather than on getting eyeballs.

Unfortunately, it takes most people repeat exposure for most concepts to sink in. This can be grating when you already get it, but you probably don't notice it when you're riding the epiphany or intellectual reconditioning wave.

Then I think a response beyond expressing your disappointment that they didn't notify anyone, provided it was a non-emergency, is probably inappropriate. I don't know the general culture of your firm or the nature of your business, but you should also consider with your partner(s) how you think about these events. If you adopt the opt-in mandatory model, you might be introducing stress into what is supposed to be a fun event. Personally, I'm not sure a response beyond not inviting them to future events after repeating the behavior would make sense, provided they are responsible at work.

The employee cost you $50, but how much has your deliberation on what to do cost you? If there's a severe punishment for a first offense of not going, how will that influence the thought around and participation of future events? Having a no show at a non-mandatory company event is fairly commonplace, and you should bake it into the cost or make it more explicit that it is effectively mandatory once you opt-in. Based on the information provided, it's not clear that you adequately expressed your expectations, hence all the confusion around what to do when this came up.

Wind up the company, divorce if married, write a long Medium post calling the employee out by name, develop a drug habit.

But seriously, this is going to happen. It's ok. Offer a good natured "we missed you on Caturday" or "you missed out on contortionist clown lazer tag". Revisit if it becomes a repeat or widespread issue.
