"If you are loyal to this company, we will reward you"
2 layoffs later this still hurts...
"The sooner you can be your own boss and control your income, the better" is what I wish someone had told me in my younger years

I first heard about bitcoin around 2011 or 2012ish. I remember because I spent a good 6 hours trying to understand how a make believe thing could be worth $100. After researching ot I told my wife I wanted to put like a $1000 into it. I was shot down. No way. That’s stupid.
Granted, I probably would have sold it LONG before the peak but, it would have been worth probably at least a million at the peak.
First one reminds me of GOOD advice I almost posted in the other thread. Friend said "the company will take from you EVERYTHING that you ALLOW them to - it's up to you to decide when to say no because they will always ask for more".
And +1000000 on the bolded. I should have left my former company 10 years earlier than I did. Co-own small biz now, can't imagine working for anyone else ever again.
When I ran track in high school I was always a front runner. I ran the 800 with a first lap that was only seconds off of my 400 race time as I wasn't blessed with lightning speed. But I would build up a big lead and generally hold most other runners off as they made up time on the second 400. That worked for me to win my district and qualify for state. The day of the state meet my coach told me to try something different and go out a little slower and see what happens. Being a stupid teenager I did what he suggested and "tried something different" in the last track race of my career.
It didn't go well.
It didn't go well.
I just realized that the incident is nearing its 10-year anniversary. I feel old.That thread is a classic though.
You can't post that and NOT post the story. Come on, now.
I’ve posted it before. Kind of short version, was working a summer during college in DC. Guy takes me to a bar and grill, and insists on paying even though I wanted to pay for my $4.00 meal myself. Then says I owe him and expects sex. I walk out on him to go catch a train home by going out back door to alley that leads to subway. He follows me and jumps me. Beating me and holding a knife to my throat and cutting me when I fight back. Bouncers from the bar saw him and saved my life. So work friend’s cousin got 20 years and I was in the hospital for a week.
JFC, I was expecting something lighthearted and funny. That sounds terrible.
It’s ok. After 42 years, less nightmares. But I caution anyone against getting talked into going out with someone they don’t know really well first. Glad I don’t deal with a dating app world, and even though I only have sons, I tell them to stick to dating people they actually know.
Brother and wife both teachers. Had the hardest time naming their kids, as one or the other would always have had a student they despised with about every name.
Probably the best advice I received as well.
"If you choose your hobby to be your job, not only will you be broke, but you'll hate your hobby too."
Daughter was telling me that a co-worker loves the Beatles and said he wants to name his kids (when he has some) after names in Beatles songs. That is all fine and good but wait until one of the kids learns that he is named Maxwell after a serial killer in a song.
