Do you think your job and work life balance is going to get better or worse the next four years if you remain at your current company? Why do you think so?

Work isn’t going to change much. I do not like how the incoming administration wants to actively shut down DEI activities. It is important to make sure everyone is “seen”. Not just white males.

Better due to tenure

Thanks for sharing!

I'm hoping better, but staffing numbers say otherwise. I have a manager who is very interested in keeping us so it's promising that there may be positive changes.

Status quo: a lot of work due to being understaffed (too expensive to hire in Cali), but I'm compensated OK and can do some hybrid.

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us.

And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?

Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

Hello all!

Am I correct in my understanding that:

In my example, I have a work 401k, and my adjusted gross income is over (or just about hovering) at the 76k limit. This means I can't make pre-tax contributions to a traditional IRA, so I should just go for a Roth?
