PE is risky. Probably better to start somewhere else.

My step in laws are TERRIBLE. Not directly to me but family dynamic is stressful.

They are all half siblings (4 boys 30-11) so they all don’t care including my partner. FIL also verbally abuses MIL in front of us. Yet they all want to please him constantly. It’s just bad.

Food was good though.

I read a quote in a posting here: "The only race is the human race." I hate that quote. IMHO, this quote ignores the importance of understanding difference, diversity, and anti-racism. How can we give up white priv if all we are willing to do is pretend that race doesn't exist?

Hello,

Last Wednesday I was able to get a
Deloitte job referral, I applied the next day. Yesterday I signed in to my account and it shows that I applied for the job but when I click on the link it show me an error page. I searched for the job on the website itself and it disappeared. There were like multiple positions but different locations, now they’re all expired. What does this mean? Did they choose a candidate already? It’s weird it never happened to me before

Thank you in advance 🙏🏻
