Kathy who?

The answer is nothing, because it could backfire on you. Also, don’t expect karma to ever catch up with the thief. This is the cold, harsh reality.

move forward and trust that their next employer will figure it out. these are often the people you see jump from job to job. can't deliver and leave before they are figured out. or perhaps they were laid off based on 'performance' issues.

this is also why it's especially important to be able to articulate your responsibility on the work you feature. people can quickly tell how involved you were based on the amount of details and investment you describe.

don't let the bastards get you down. 👏

Had someone who tagged some spots I did put it on their reel and then they applied for a job with my team and showed me my work as theirs. Called them out on it. Told them they had to be very specific as to what they did....

My neighbor is a bit creepy/lonely (?). He comes over to chat when I’m outside working on the house or doing yard work and doesn’t catch on too well to social cues. He’ll mention small details about my routine or new changes to the house (just moved in). It’s a bit uncomfortable and I’ve had a few awkward moments with him already. Anyone else have any odd or awk neighbor experiences? How do you dealllll when you just don’t want to interact?

Idk how to let go of this :/ Thoughts?

I need help figuring out if I’m being underpaid. I’m working in real estate private equity and I focus on fund models and property valuations. I’m currently at base $80k and 20% bonus. On top of that I have 5 years experience and a masters in finance. I’m good at my job and receive positive reviews from everyone. I feel like I should be compensated better but the company says that’s what they think I’m worth. Any help or insights would be great!
