How can I cash in the balance on my commuter cards (wageworks and Navia) if I am leaving the country now? They would pay only post tax, can I submit my expenses for foreign travel and get it reimbursed even if I leave the employment?

I have a boss from hell. She’s the GM of my hotel and she is a mean girl that never grew out of highschool. She loves gossip. She will trash talk her employees with other employees and once her toxic garbage starts to leak amongst us peons she will send a group text telling us all to stop spreading rumors and to stop being bullies like she isn’t the mean kid with a magnifying glass torturing ants for no reason. I want to stand up but I’ve seen her retaliate on people who have tried to. Help.

Asking for a friend

Probably not the right bowl. I have $240k in my savings account, recently became a father of 3 and my wife left her job so now one income. I make $215k base. Monthly expenses prob around $6.5k including my mortgage. Home equity somewhere around $200k. I've never been good at investing (always losing money in the market). Want to move to a bigger home but don't want to lose my cash cushion. How can I conservatively grow my net worth? Vague question but any help appreciated. BTW I'm 33.

Discussion, the possibility of sudden end of The United States of America. Continued.

Son’s 2nd birthday coming up.. thinking of opening a custodial account for him and buy a couple hundred dollars worth of a SP500 index fund and continue doing that on subsequent birthdays. Is it a good birthday gift? I understand the drawbacks of a custodial account (losing control once the kid grows up and it affects financial aid etc). I think it will be cool for him to see all the purchase dates fall on his birthdays and teach him about long term investment

My Thanksgiving: eating a takeout burger from Denny’s as it was the only restaurant open in this godforsaken town I’m passing through. Finished it off by watching the critically acclaimed «Battleship» at my hotel room. Anyone else have a Thanksgiving success story to share?

Eating at the hotel bar is awesome when everyone leaves you alone and you can ease drop on the super awkward conference attendees flirting with each other/being denied by a co worker. #itsonlymonday

I want to start organizing my money into "buckets" for travel, car expenses, and other savings. Ideally, I'd like to put a certain percentage of my paycheck towards each goal. Is there a way to do that without opening other savings accounts? I don't want to deal with fees. Is that my only option?

Third-year in BL and just had a second round of interviews for an in-house position. It was surprisingly similar to a law firm callback with no real curveballs. They mentioned that as in-house counsel, you have to answer questions that you don’t always know the answer to. Frickin, how does that work without you committing malpractice, especially if you’re still a “baby attorney”? By just using lots of qualifiers in your answer? What happens if you get it wrong (hopefully not instant termination)

Hi! My I-140 petition was submitted without the immigration team ever sharing with me to review. I now ask for a copy for my own record and was told they cannot share due to company information included. Is this normal or shady? If shady how do I push back and ask for a copy??? I have no trust to the immigration tram and am afraid they are hiding something from me 😩😩😩

Hello,
I’m a MRI technologist with bachelors in radiologic science. My goal is to become epic analyst. I do have a proficiency in Radiant. However, I am not having much luck with any applications. Almost all the postings require actual certification or build experience. I am thinking that I may have to go back to school. My options are either go for masters or go for another bachelors in IT/computer science. What could be my other options? Thank you.
