Do you participate in your company's stock-based compensation program or do you prefer to separate your personal finances from company performance? I generally buy into the programs given the matching discounts that are given.

I participate because it's a good deal. But it's not the only investment I have. I have an investment account I've had for years, and a savings account, so they have nothing to do with how my employer's stock performs. I've known people who were pretty heavy in their company stock. While that may show some confidence, you just never know what might happen.

I tend to buy into the stock program too, especially with the matching discounts—it feels like a no-brainer to take advantage of that perk. But I also keep a balance by not putting too much into it, just in case company performance takes a dive. Always good to hedge a little

Yea that is smart

I would if we had the option

Bummer

I would participate. BV is employee owned so they hand stock out to you on an annual basis.

Cool!

I don’t understand how someone can lie about loving you for 6 months. We were together for almost a year (broke up a week before our anniversary). I said I love you first and he said it back. I asked for more reassurance last month with saying I love you more often. Now all of a sudden he said he didn’t know if he loved me and that love meant marriage for him. Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.

I'm an engineer, and I feel like my manager is more of a friend than anything else. We talk about our personal lives, and I feel like it's hard to be completely honest with her when she's so casual with me. I don't want to lose our friendship, but I also need to be able to talk honestly with someone who has the power to help me grow professionally. Is there a way to have both?
