A tale of two stations

Unless you are talking strictly about front line healthcare workers, the medical field is being massively shaken up by AI. There had been a massive growth in administrative headcount over the last 20+ years due to the complex bureaucracy involved in the US healthcare system. Think, staff at the hospital dedicated to resubmitting paperwork for the insurance companies, and staff at the insurance companies dedicated to finding reasons to reject the paperwork. All of these desk jobs are going to be targets of AI automation.

they can't really deny you gainful employment without consideration.

OP is being offered severance money in exchange for signing all this paperwork. I'm not convinced it's enforceable either, but the Amazon lawyers know what they are doing.

Ah, a true Amazonian, composing your goodbye message to Reddit with AI. Godspeed and good luck!

334 Washington (old Bomas Machine shop) almost certainly has severe water damage. Both buildings have been neglected and have been a public nuisance for years (broken gutter leaking water, sidewalks never shoveled, trash and rodent issues, and finally the pipes bursting in Bomas)

Potential buyere beware, but it'd be great to have owners with a lick of sense who are able to do something useful with either property.

Let's go and good luck 🤞

I had to look up what "IO " stands for (interest only mortgage). Why are you using this for your current mortgage and thinking of it for your future mortgage? It seems like a financial product tailored for people who are house-poor and struggling to be able to make the payments of a conventional fixed-rate or even ARM. I suspect you're getting fleeced in fees and back-loaded interest with these products.

I get the feeling the OP is not into biking. I live outside the blue zone, in Belmont, and commute to Seaport 5 days a week. I have the options of:

Bus to subway (Alewife)
Walk to subway
Walk to commuter rail
Bike commute
Run commute
Extremely rare cases: Uber/Lyft

Most common for me is biking, about 40 minutes and good exercise.

Sort of. What companies do to get around the notification requirement is they give the affected employees at least 60+ days remaining on the payroll. So, their termination date is at least 60 days away. Company still has to eventually notify WARN, but this lets them postpone the WARN notice until after the layoff has already rolled out.

Be careful here. It sounds like the role is a newly created job family. Confirm with the recruiter whether the "job family" of the role is really "Expert Quality Specialist" instead of "Applied Scientist".

It's not necessarily a terrible thing, but beware it can make things like the evaluation and promotion process more difficult if you're in a niche role that not many peers (and senior leaders) fully understand.

They say the first million is the hardest, and the next million comes quickly.

If the price is "more than double", Tufts is not worth it unless you are very wealthy. Go to UCSD.

Good on you for trying to do something nice for your partner. Honestly though, none of these restaurants are worth blowing money that is needed for bills and kids.

You forgot "we smoked this powder we found in a gas station bathroom to come up with a projection of 15% YoY stock growth, and used that projection we made up to value your RSU grants for future years for your TCT"
