Dear Fish Bowlers!

I need help!

I have an offer from a company where my salary is 30% higher than my current place, and the benefits are great. I'm pretty happy with the overall package , only negative is my 4 weeks vacation will turn into 3. They've already said no to matching my 4 weeks.

I will sign with the company but I wanted some advice on how to negotiate -- if needed at all. Or maybe ideas on what else can be negotiated? They did mention the possibility of stock options later.

Hi,
I got my 1st pay slip and wanted to get clarity that whether Employer Contributions towards PF is a part of our CTC that is being shared in the Offer Letter or not?

I can see from the calculations that I did is Employee contributions PF adds up to total amount which is mentioned in the offer letter.

Employer contributions is on top of it looking at the payslip.
Thanks

Sober Sunday check in ... how is everyone doing?

I’m on my first work trip since getting sober. I was scared that this would be one long trigger and I’d spend the whole trip either on the phone with my sober friends or sneaking drinks at the hotel bar.

But I’m here, and I’m fine. I found out one of my colleagues got sober too and it’s so much easier with them here. I guess Bill W was onto something.

Anyway very grateful to God and to all the drunks and addicts on here. One day at a time

Has anyone successfully stopped consuming completely? Any side effects? How do you tay focused?

If I want to go to an AA meeting do I just show up? What happens my first time? Do I have to quit drinking before I go to one/ be committed to quitting before going? How many people are at these? Is there a time/day of week that is best to go? How often do people in AA have to go to meetings? Does it cost anything once you join? I just can’t shake the feeling that my luck is going to run out. Not a daily drinker, but blackout when I do. Thx.

I’m over a month sober from alcohol. I’m not in a program or anything and I’m just keeping myself busy. It’s been hard some days especially being young and single. But I’m doing what I can and improving myself slowly

I’ve found online AA meetings, but I’m struggling with drug cravings. Anyone know of online NA meetings? thanks!

I left my last job because I didn't appreciate the culture (B4). However, it was probably because I was a terrible employee. However, I do find that my clients love me 10x more than my consulting colleagues. I joined a smaller firm to cover up the problem.

I drink during the day. I know it's the main reason for my ability to be a productive employee. Anyone else deal with this? I'm trying to control it through moderation management, Dharma meetings, therapy, and white knuckling.

Starting on my journey to sobriety today from sex addiction. I’ve been clean from alcohol for several years but my therapist has pushed me to start attending AA meetings in addition to SAA meetings. I know I can’t overcome this alone.
