When did the 9 to 5 work day become 9 to 6 ?
Years ago, I worked at a small firm where it was 9 to 6, and the last hour was just a waste. No real work was done, and we tried to look busy without falling asleep. Then the receptionist was let go due to a personality conflict with the boss, and guess who had to answer the phones, with no increase in salary...

About month ago I was diagnosed with coronary artery disease (CAD) and had to go through cardiac catheterization to get a stent.
I am in mid 30s and it's unbelievable that i have got this. Have been quite down mentally for last few weeks, and don't think if I can sustain the consulting life anymore.
I am working hard to stop the progression of disease and potentially reverse it. Hope things work out.

Hi All,

I’m new to this bowl. My experience is in accounting but I’m looking to transition to defense sector consulting. My undergrad degree is in criminal justice and then went the business route for grad.

Guys - how do y’all split bills during dinner with friends?
SO and I went with a group of friends and folks wanted to split by 10. I don’t mind a one time paying more situation but this has been happening a lot.

How fast do you think we return to normalcy in 2H?

What are the best bars in Manhattan preferably on the east side to watch football on Sundays? I don’t like watching by myself at home as much :/

How do you cope when your employer rapidly descends into chaos from the top down? Today is my 2yr anniversary with this company. In the past 6mos, they have repeatedly changed directions / goals, pushing out several supportive and productive managers in favor of a single chauvinist overlord who makes HR violations daily and does no actual work. HR denies every complaint made against him and he retaliates to the point of firing people. Very hostile. How do I survive until I find my next gig?

Who else hates their job and wants to shove their boss’ head in the toilet?

My SO and I are touring a home tomorrow that we’re considering purchasing. With COVID restrictions + high interest in the home, we only have a 15 minute time slot to tour it. Suggestions on what things we must check out given the time constraint? We’re first time home buyers, so want to make sure we don’t miss anything critical during our tour

For those with spouses or family members who feel differently about COVID, what do you do? My husband and I have been on the same page up until now with the Delta variant.

Wake up on a Sunday and the first thing I see on Twitter trending is"Civil War" along with more violent clashes in Portland, a death, people online screaming the other side is plunging us towards the point of no return.

What a great start to the day...

Anyone else have trouble filing their 2022 return because the IRS is still screwing around with their 2021 return?? Just tried to file and it was rejected because my PY AGI doesn’t match but it quite literally does. It’s not my fault the IRS hasn’t bothered to process it in the past 12 months. This is so frustrating.

Power out so I’m off early on a Friday! But, now my power is out…

I am meeting my girlfriend’s parents for the first time this weekend for dinner at a pretty nice restaurant. Her parents are fairly traditional Chinese mom and dad and I am not Chinese, or Asian for that matter… I don’t want to show up empty-handed - any ideas on good gifts for first time meeting Chinese parents?

Tomorrow is the 1 year anniversary of the passing of my roommates mom. She’s devastated and I know tomorrow will be hard. Any ideas on what I can do to help her through appreciated.
