I’ve been reading about platonic marriages recently. Does anyone know how they work? I’m not planning on getting married (for love, anyway), and it’d be nice to just marry my friend who is in the same boat for the tax bennies. Not sure if this is relevant for this bowl, but the people I’ve read about doing this are mostly LGBTQIA+.

What do you mean, know how they work?

It’s a pretty serious thing and combining of assets and bundling of legal rights. Not something to be done lightly just “for the insurance.”

Surely that depends on who exactly you’re married to and their income etc?

Consult a good tax advisor and a marriage attorney. Else you will spend a multiple of what you think you will save. Marrying for money rarely ends well unless you’re the poor one marrying someone significantly richer, and the prenup allows you to get a good share in the event of divorce, or death of your spouse.

Marriage isn’t a tax benefit if you both work… or at least if both are decently successful. The higher tax rate for combined income is brutal.

I have been looking into platonic co-parenting. I’ve never really seen myself as a person who wants to be one person forever but every time I try to explain this, I feel like the heteronorm wants to attack me.

I’m a SPED Resource/Inclusion Teacher which I really love. I really like working with the Gen Ed teachers maybe because my background is Gen Ed. I’m noticing many SPED team members go straight to the principal if they have an issue with a Gen Ed teacher instead of going to the teacher directly. Is this the norm now? What happened to SPED working with Gen Ed? Maybe I’m old school, but this seems so wrong to me. Thoughts?

Hello, I have received offer letter from EY LLP for Manager position.
There is a bonus component over and above the CTC mentioned in offer letter.

When asked, HR conveyed the below, verbally.
'Bonus is between 10-20% depending on performance. Usually 15% on an average.'

1) This bonus range (10-20%) is not mentioned in the offer letter. Is this usually the case?

2) Are people in EY receiving the bonus right from the first year on the job or is there some extra t&c I was not made aware?

I love teaching art but am having to teach remotely to 1150 kids, k - 5. Have about 54 amazing elementary art teachers in my district that share SO much!

Feeling like my students aren’t getting what they should because I am struggling with Zoom, Microsoft, safe YouTube, bitmoji, embedding, downloads, editing, etc. Anyone else feeling this way?

What’s your opinion on what I wrote on my Grindr profile? “I am looking for a top who wants to have fun. If you’re not mobile, don’t hit me up. If you’re only here to collect pics, don’t hit me up. If you’re here to waste my time, then definitely don’t hit me up. Some of you talk big game over message but don’t live up to that expectation in person. I am tired of the flakes and the last minute excuses. I love di*k but some of you can be di*ks.”
