I drove past my old store this week and felt that weird pull in my chest. Not because I want the job back, but because there were good people there and familiar routines. I used to think leaving meant cutting all ties emotionally. Now I see you can miss parts of a place without wanting to go back. Does anyone else feel nostalgic about a job you know was not right for you?

Totally get that. Sometimes it’s not the job you miss, it’s the rhythm, the inside jokes, and the people who made the long shifts lighter. You can outgrow a place and still appreciate what it gave you. Funny how certain buildings hold whole chapters of your life, right?

Yeah absolutely and then I remember how my team, management and the company treated me when my grandmother was dying. I couldn’t get any weekend off… except her funeral.
I regret every weekend I didnt call off just before she left this physical world.
And I remember I’m a human with decency and I would rather be around people who would encourage me to focus more on family than finances and performance intervention plans.

Yeah frequently. I used to work in a restaurant and loved everything about it except the pay and schedule. I had to make more money so I took a retail job. Still miss it and the people. Especially my old manager. He was the best boss I've ever had.

I’m kind of the exact opposite person. When I leave a job there’s a week or two I feel stressed or nostalgic about it. Then I just lose those feelings. An old workplace doesn’t mean anything to me and I tend to slowly cut ties with everybody I knew.

Yes!

Yes, but I try not to dwell on it too much. If I developed the relationship with someone, I tend to keep in touch even after I’ve left.

Is it possible to be a “silent” investor (party A) with a friend who’s an accredited investor (party B)investing in a company? So if B is investing $50k in a company, and A wants to give B $25k of that investment, is this possible with an agreement between A and B, where they’re responsible for their own portion of taxes?
