The president in Independence Day p4, watch the movie

I did but it's been a while...

Right before the final battle, the part where he talks about not going silently into the night without a fight

Hello, ahem, hello

I didn't realize Canada was a small island, perhaps education standards would be better also

Well think about it 90 % of Canadians live within 20 kilometers of the US border and one of your provinces had been trying to secede since I can remember ( go Habs). But to your credit you have safest nuclear power plants in the world and least expensive electricity in the world ( Hydro Quebec) apologies for assuming that since an ocean separated Canada from England we could think of you as an independent country....

New offer base salary: $90k
Bonus: 12% (~11k)
Vacation: 3 weeks

Counter offer: $80k

Hi everyone! How did you discuss with your boss all the time youโ€™d be needing to take off for appointments? My boss absolutely hates when people take time off.

Tell me if this is selfish or not. I adore my family, but since they're doing a very lowkey Christmas situation this year, I really would rather take a weeks vacation on my own. Obviously the holidays are about spending time with those you love, but I'm tired! And I see my entire family at least once a month for a group dinner. Am I a bad daughter/sister if I choose vacation this one time?

I have been at my company for a little less than 4 years now. Iโ€™ve had the third highest sales last year out of a team of 50 and consistently the highest outbound calls per week. They told me I can start WFH once I hit $1mil in profit, but then rescinded right before I hit the goal. They have also denied simpler request like time off, when I know they have approved this before for others. I feel super unappreciated, but the money is great. Iโ€™m not sure if I should look elsewhere and start over?
