If you have any sought of weakness in life, don’t reveal it to your bosses and colleagues at KPMG. They will exploit you to the core! Weaknesses like a sick child or a parent or if you are an immigrant or if you are under debt. No matter how trivial the weakness is. All you should be concerned about is getting your Paycheck.

That’s crazy to hear. I’ve never experienced anything like that, so I’m sorry to hear you are.

The only thing close to this is people who are underperforming who hide behind personal issues and then blame the company for using those personal issues against them and don’t actually take responsibility for their own contribution to their problems.

Hey Fish - looking for some input on the following: I bought a beach rental property early on in the pandemic for 365k. In the current market, I could sell for 585-600 based on my agent and recent comps in the area. I initially bought as a long term hold but am considering cashing out for a quick buck. Otherwise I’m set to gross about $60k and net 30 this year through short term rentals. Anything I should be thinking about other than taxes and commissions?
