So I entered a raffle at a concert a month ago for a free trip to Vegas for 2. Today they called me and announced I’m the winner. When they asked for my relationship status, I said I’m single, then they told me I’m not eligible cuz I need to already be in a committed relationship to be eligible for the couple’s trip 🥲.
Is this legit or has this ever happened to you? Never felt so bad about being a bachelor until today 😩

Don’t feel slighted. This has all the hallmarks of a BS timeshare sales ploy.

My friend won a legitimate trip for 2 once and brought a friend of hers. Relationship status doesn’t matter. If you win, you win. Period.

What happened to you is a sales tactic. Timeshares often target couples b/c research shows that couples usually have a greater household income than someone who’s single.

Don’t be surprised if you start getting spam too since these types of companies often sell the information of those they convince to register.

What would they have said if you were in a polyamorous relationship? Give all three a ticket. No? Then they can fudge off with these silly rules. Give us the tickets and we’ll take whomever we want thank you very much.

Looking for advice, is it a bad idea to take a chance on an early stage startup (20 FTEs) in our current economy or go for it? I'm currently interviewing for a head of product role, and really torn about the timing.

Added context, they raised about $4M in seed funding and the founders say they're overcommitted for their series A which is currently being closed. I've been in product for 7 years, definitely feel equipped to do the job, but would like to stay at least 1.5-2 years if I do this.

My kids are young (toddler and baby), and if we do go ahead we’d want to do it in the next year or so.

I worked abroad as an intern during the summer of 06 in an African country. My assignment was to work with the local Government on corporate partnerships to help with water conservation. I didn't see the final outcome by the time I left. I later found out my efforts were reworked which led to a private company drying up most of the local community wells and loading stores with bottled water at a cost. I still think about it til this day, especially the friends I met who lived in the villages.
