Ya’ll I just got done reading in another bowl about how much money people have saved at age 25...
$96k, $2.5m, $375k, investments etc.
Meanwhile I’m sitting here like, where my next meal coming from 🤦🏽‍♀️? Why black parents put they kids out at such a young age? I’m traumatized y’all 😭😭. I need to build wealth and leave my kids something. Just now at age 34, I’m learning about money and all the things they talked about. 😣 I feel so ashamed and unprepared for life.

Hello,

Need advice from those who left SAP recently or leaving soon.

Did you sell all your SAP shares. Its sad that the value is at multi-year low and we are made to sell at a loss :(... Is there any cheaper option to keep it for some more years in our personal account. Did any of you got it transferred at any Indian brokerage firm? Please do let me know.

Thanks

My co-worker is so resentful and competitive because I was promoted over her last year which caused a demotion on her end. People in the company still go to her for things that should be for me but she rarely corrects them. Shes still involved in the company too in a way that allows her to know secrets that I should know about but never do. I technically am above her within the company but this is how things are. I just do my job and try to not let it bother me but it does. Any suggestions?
