Just got a great offer from Meta and shared the news with my GF of three years. Thought she'd be ecstatic but instead she threatened to dump me if I took the offer. WTF? I knew she was more on the "woke" side but this is ridiculous!

Tell her that you're really going in to infiltrate them for the cause. That will make her happy.

HAHAHAH great reply.

Congrats on accepting the offer!
Similarly, my bf of two years is interviewing with FB/Meta - I don’t adore the company, but I do know he really wants it and I’m supportive of that. He basically moved to the US, from Australia, to work somewhere in big tech so knowing that and knowing it could possibly be a huge career step for him is what keep me supportive regardless.

This probably didn’t happen

Why she threatened?

She thinks FB is a capitalistic demon kingdom

Dump her. Meta is a fantastic opportunity and I loved working there.

Would love to hear your experience

Whattttt? Is it because you would be moving? Or why would she say she was going to dump you?

No because she hates everything Meta stands for

Did she specify why it bothers her so much? I know everyone else is saying 'dump her,' but if you love her and are planning a future, it *is* important that you're both on the same page with stuff like this. Might be worth exploring. Or not - it's up to you. Congrats on the offer, either way.

I think it's endearing but sheesh

I reckon you took the offer?

I have until tomorrow to decide

+1 on the advice to tell her you’re planning to infiltrate & topple the capitalist regime. Win/win.

Too late, I had told her already smh

Don’t forget to give us an update after! I have nothing else but this news story to distract me.

Lol I know right!

Any advice on how to approach your Google manager about turning your role into 60% part-time (3 days/week)? I know there is business need for role, so would be hit to the team, but I’m feeling burn out hard and don’t see how I can last much longer. Figure it would be better to go part time than leave altogether, but can’t really say that to my manager. Any way to explore this without blowing everything up?

Had a disagreement with someone today, still feel confident, but curious what people think. Simple -all equity partners/no profits interest, would you
A) allocate state income/losses/diff effective pro rata to the partner's share of federal income/loss - by the time the project closes to $0, all federal /state differences end up closed to $0, no state diff remains for each partner
B) maintain separate state capital accounts for purposes of determining target allocation of the state income/loss
