This may be a better question for an employment lawyer. Most people who could answer your question are likely under NDAs.

That’s what they do. It’s a shitty tactic but a well-known one. Try to drag it out to make it more costly for you, wear you down, and expend as much time as possible to get beyond limits. Your employment lawyer should be familiar with them using this tactic, sadly.

Crusade to the death!!!

Is an offer on the table? If so, this may be their way of saying it is non negotiable. Wait it out a little longer if you can without risking losing the package.

We do have a ton of evidence that the former employer is unaware of. I believe they are acting from a place that we don’t. It’s fairly substantial. It would be 400k+ in damages if it went to trial.

How do you invest and save for your children? I’m thinking about setting them up with custodial brokerage accounts but don’t want them to have a heyday at 18. Did you create irrevocable trusts or?? They are too young for earned income and I don’t own a business so no IRA investing opportunities here.

This is one of my favorite couples from the show. While Steven was quite immature during the show, it seemed like he was just young and wanted to be a good dad. They've been together as a family for a while now, he has taken up yoga to manage his temper issues, she has a career on the side as a photographer and they seem happy. I hope their social media is a true representation of their lives and I hope they are truly happy together with their little son 😊

sigh* last week Saturday my s/o & I broke up after our 3 year relationship. & it really been affecting me negatively — not eating, autopilot mode, self isolation & diving deep into work. Today I decided to go outside, where I picked up some food to go and went to an outdoor movie by myself; where I had the realization I just really enjoy being by myself. Idk, maybe I’m just better off single after so many failed relationships/am I being dramatic? but anyone else has given up on love?

So… 3.5 year relationship came crashing in Jan due to covid depression, work burn out, lockdown etc. We have stayed in contact and recently he has come around to apologizing and considering getting back together. However he also revealed he started seeing someone casually 4 weeks ago and technically is cheating on her by meeting me for coffee and to discuss this. I’m upset that he’s dating others but shouldn’t be right? I mean, I did the same. Still hurts though. And I told him to sort that out
