The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith is a good place to start as that’s the foundation of US economics. Freakanomics probably has a more digestible version

My husband has been a restaurant manager for over 10 years (GM for 5). He worked at one place for 8 years and another for 5 (wasn’t a manager at first at the other place) - so he’s consistent and dependable. But he’s ready to keep normal hours and transition into corporate…. But it’s been tough with no “relevant” experience.

New-ish staff 1 here:
How do y'all deal with incredibly bad cramps at work? I can't afford to be non-functional or even less-than-my-best for 5 days of every month.

I received offer from optum with 28.5 fixed and 20% variable over it. But joining date is end October, so will I be getting variable pay this time(means next year in 2023)? or do I have to wait for next appraisal cycle because that would be in March 2024.

Looking for support & validation.
I’m divorced & have 2 boys, 6 & 4 yo. Last week I took the 6 yo for a pedicure and he chose blue nail polish, well aware that he didn’t have to choose any at all. FFW to this week. It’s a “boys weekend” (kids w/dad). Their grandad is also in town, since Wed. Dad has called to ask to have the boys in the evenings (i have W &Th, always). I have said “ok, but only if you don’t say anything negative about the polish.” So… they haven’t seen them. This hurts.

Hey!

I wanted to know if anyone had the same experience and what were your thoughts (pursue an MBA and leave your comfort zone and "good pay" or just stick with it). TIA!
