There’s a man that always hangs in the lobby of my building and by the elevators. He frequently follows me and others into the building and is clearly on drugs.

Last night I ran into him by the elevators. It was a little unsettling so I called the front desk to escort him if he lived here. Based on their response, he clearly doesn’t live here nor am I the first person to call about him. He followed me into the bldg again today. Is there a way to keep him away besides just calling security?

Can you call the police?

I would raise hell with your building's management. That's ridiculous. Would you be able to collect signatures from others who live in your building as well? That might compel management to take stronger action to protect residents. I'd also alert the police. Last, but not least, I'd make sure to carry mace and an alarm you can press or pull in case he attempts to do anything to you.

Bldg just started a tenants association so I’ll be able to raise the issue there. And I absolutely will be carrying mace with me. Thank you.

Yes. Call the police and be there when they arrive to give a report. Have security/management be there and ask management to trespass the man from the building and it’s grounds (i.e tell management to tell the police they don’t want him here.) the police should escort him away. Keep a copy of the report number and officers that responded. next time he shows up, call the police and give them the report number and say the man is back. They should arrest him for trespass.

Thank you. I had been stomping on a first inclination to call the police, however I do believe it’s worth doing so and hopefully that’ll be enough to scare him off.

Venting a bit: Are you finding DEI groups at work overrun with allies. Is there also an increase in celebrating said allies? Is it just me?

Most of the groups I'm in (esp. event teams) are being taken over by allies wanting to do what they think should be done to 'celebrate' whatever topic the month is, usually speaking over marginalized coworkers and rarely consulting with them. It seems like the only time this doesn't happen is for gay (usually yt) men or BHM. I'm just feeling so...minimized.

Someone pls educate me on 401ks! If I earn 80k and my employer does a dollar for dollar match up to 3% of my contribution and then 50 cents on the dollar match for the next 2% I contribute, would the breakdown look like this:

3% employee contribution: 2400
2% employee contribution: 1600
First 3% employee match at 100%: 2400
Second 2% employee match at 50%: 800

Or is it based on the 19,500 401k max amount?

What’s the general vibe of living in the area, relative to the whole DC area? I know there’s a stigma against those who live across the Potomac lol.
