When you have to reject a really strong candidate you personally liked, how do you handle that conversation so it feels respectful but honest? I sometimes struggle with how much detail to give without overstepping what the hiring team is comfortable sharing.

I tend to keep all of my rejection conversations the same. You can’t let your personal emotions get in the way of this job. It’s better just to have a templated idea of how you want the conversation to go.

Less is more. I say that as if it's simple, but I REALLY struggle with this.

I do my best to keep the conversation short, stick to facts, and don't react if they get upset. One thing that has helped me is working with the hiring manager to align on a couple key points that drove their hiring decision that I can then share with the candidate.

You are 100% spot on with your comment about not overstepping the team. Ultimately, that is who we work for.

Something else I do is ask the hiring manager if the candidate is a "no for right now" or a "no for the company." The second answer leads to a different, and more difficult conversation with the candidate. The first can lead to a discussion that ends with a confirmed follow up at a future date and perhaps a future hire.

In the end, it will always be a difficult conversation but if you stick to being genuine, sharing facts and not getting too personal that helps.

But again, I do struggle with this and certainly don't mean to imply that anything I've shared above will make the conversation easy.

What are people’s ADHD med schedules like? I’d love to have coverage that lasts all day, but still lets me sleep.

Taking Concerta in the AM doesn’t give me enough coverage for the whole day. I take it the moment my alarm goes off in the morning at (usually) 6am. Which is great for my morning, but by 3pm I’m starting to fray apart, bouncing around between tasks and getting progressively more distractible and demotivated.

Tax Senior here. I’m well liked around the office, I put in the hours and work hard, I haven’t had any dumpster fire projects, but I am a mediocre performer compared to my peers (not as strong project management, communication, not as confident). I just got told they’re firing me. Should I expect severance? Have other people been fired for similar? What did you do with your career?

1/3 Question on tax treatment of nonpriority unsecured claims converted into long-term note decreased total liabilities under Chapter 11. An accrual based C-Corp taxpayer completed a Chapter 11 reorganization and converted a total of $1M A/P to suppliers into a $410K LT note (a $590K liability reduction). Should we view this $590K as the Sec. 108(a)(1)(A) excludable income? After reading through IRS Pub 4681, I think it makes sense to view the $590 as "Reduced Price After Purchase", but not
