Do you think you play favorites with your direct reports? Obviously most people wouldn't do that on purpose, but I know it can hard not to unconsciously favor a specific person.

Yeah this is literally human nature. But I don't feel like I choose favorites unfairly. My favorites are the hardest workers, people who take accountability and understand deadlines and responsibilities. I'm not choosing a random cool guy as my favorite and then excusing bad behavior. I'm partial to the excellent employees on my team, and try to encourage everyone to up their game.

I try to be as unbiased as possible, but I would be lying if I didn't say that some of my employees make my life easier and some make my life harder, and I generally tend to favor the ones that make my life easier. If you're constantly calling and making excuses and creating issues for other employees, I'm not going to give you all the same flexibility of people who show up. It's just the truth.

Yes we're human and we tend to like other people more than others but it's my duty as their leader to not let it affect my actions towards the team and my judgment. I think what's important is to try to dismiss those favoritism thoughts and think about the team as a whole.

I don’t mean to. It’s definitely unintentional. But I would be lying if I said I haven’t caught myself doing this. I think it’s natural to favor people we like better even when it’s not the most ethical or fair thing to do.

I’m in a confusing situation and would appreciate guidance - I had an Investment Bank reach out to me a few days ago and we’ve been scheduling “Intro” calls. They’re not specifically using the word “interview” in the conversation. I got yet another intro call scheduled with upper management and honestly don’t know how to prepare? Any tips on how to navigate the situation?

Question for folks with second homes: Considering buying a vacation home but would be primarily for family use. We currently have a primary residence with a mortgage balance of ~640K, so my understanding is I could only deduct the mortgage interest on 110K of the second mortgage to stay under the 750K cap. If I were to buy the second home through an LLC, would that allow me to exceed that 750K since the expenses of the second home would be pass through expenses/income?

I am trying to move to Houston but I don’t want to move until I am confident I can obtain a position in the city before packing up and leaving.
