Deloitte onboarding E-mail says , it background verification is not complete by target start date , they can postpone the date last minute.

Please advise if someone faced this situation.

My SO is scared to ask his parents for his money back. The money they were holding on to for him. Now that he’s a grown man I think he’s old enough to hold on to his own money. He like needs a valid excuse to ask for it back and I’m like why do you need an excuse when it’s your money and he’s like well I don’t want to start a fight…. And the last time he spoke to his parents about it apparently there’s been some mix ups and so they need to sort thru what’s his etc. (CONT’d in comments)

Need help from real estate / HOA specialists / lawyers … the new HOA board is arm twisting residents to accept a loan of $250k for 4.95 % split among 12 units.

The motion was passed last Friday, May 13 at 1 pm CDT. is there any one here aware of the nuances of the 14 day rule to initiate a veto motion ? Does the 14 day period include weekends , federal holidays?

Let’s take a poll: What do you love/hate about your position in Insurance? I’ll go first:

Florida PIP Litigation 1+yrs at Progressive

Love: WFH, Flexibility of not being “chained to desk” all day because I don’t have to take outside customer calls, ability to complete work assigned at any time of day within 72hrs, no micromanaging from my Supervisor, feeling like I’m my own boss

Hate: getting assigned bulks from others and it throws off efficiency of reviewing suits, monotony, depositions

Has anyone dealt with a lack of praise from attorneys? I'm not someone who needs to hear "good job" all the time, but we just got a huge deal closed that I worked really hard on and had a lot of overtime.
