I asked my college freshman kid about Twitter the other day and they said it was for old people. That no one in their generation was really using it. That there with other apps everyone their age was using to stay connected instead. I’m getting the same response from high school students I just asked about it, too. How relevant and valuable is X going to be 3 years out? 5?

Strategists / planners: if your boss asked you to put together a wishlist of resources that would make your job easier / better, what would be on that list?

Should I feel bad about getting a new job because I'll be leaving my CW behind? We both hate our agency and were making plans to leave anyway.

I’m in a little of a pickle but a good one. Offer A. Established “start up” doing well financially and projected to hit profitability. 130k base. Stocks offered, unlimited PTO, and 70% Medical covered. Offer B. Is at a business much larger…90k salary with 10% bonus and generous stock offering.

My father passed away a few months back and I am yet to obtain the legal heir certificate. Given the ITR deadline is near, should I just file his ITR from his account or is there any other option?

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.

I am visiting Moab and Arches National Park this year, and would love to learn more about biking in/around the park!

Are you able to ride the bikes on the roads throughout the park?
If so, are there places to lock up the bike at trailheads and/or parking lots to take in?
I haven't been to this national park yet, so I was curious how it compares to Zion for example, where it is easy to bike from "stop to stop" to view the scenery or do a hike!

Thank you!
