When you meet someone you're kind of interested in, do you try to find their socials and do some stocking?

Absolutely, even if they are married with kids. I might be able to find a crack in the facade

I hate that I feel the need but it’s a safety measure in my opinion if I’m going on dates with them. Once or twice I’ve found something horribly off putting, and on a few occasions they were married and lying.

I mean it is 2024 and if people are going to put everything about themselves online, I am going to find it lol. It is a safety thing AND it does help me better understand the type of person I am dealing with and if I think we are a good match.

It IS a safety thing, even in 2024.

Just because the frequency of anti LGBT violence may be down [is it?] Its still out there and it seems like a fringe element is being activated. And they think they can put the genie back in the bottle... with violence.

Some of us married folks are in an open relationship and you can call and ask or email our partner to verify. Not everyone is in the hunt for [another] lifetime partner. Some are looking for "relationship practice", and others just want someone to verbally vent to. FWB doesnt always mean sex either. But if you go say ypu are willing to go down that road, it pretty much means you are open to such things as intimacy. Just not forever?

What are you hoping to learn from the prospect’s socials?

I googled one of the first guys I met when I was working on coming out and building confidence with guys… and found he was a convicted sex offender. 😱

Hi Everyone. I completed my 1 year in EY in October 2022. And in my profile, they have updated it to Senior Analyst now. But that was a progression that happens every year and I have not received the incremented salary.

Now that they are giving increments to everyone, will I receive both progression and increment or my progression will be counted as increment.

Highly confused.

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.

Poll on general attitudes towards open relationships? I’m in one and find that some folks are totally non-judgmental about it, while others are so vicious/rude about it. Curious about your opinions! I understand that every open relationship is different, and each couple defines their own arrangement/rules. For context, ours is a passive one that’s hardly acted on, but we both have Grindr and meet guys for fun on the very odd occasion (whether together or apart). If you’re in one, describe yours!
