Perhaps, but reading through other responses, a clear picture is starting to form. OP admits to wanting to "teach the company a lesson"[1], and then responded to another commentor, who advised they fake a personal crisis and play

If you think advice to fake a personal crisis and play victim, from someone who refers to women as people who have "oily holes between their legs" is "interesting and worth implementing" I see I have been wasting my brea

I already gave the practical advice, now I’m addressing the cognitive dissonance.

There is that rationalization I mentioned. If you "are still honest", walk into your bosses office and make it clear you intend to do the minimum and your reasons why. That is honest. Perhaps they will be fine with it. Perhaps the

You are conflating morals with ethics. Ethically, compensation negotiations, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are based on the assumption of good faith reasonable best efforts. If you continue to draw your salary while ceasing to provide

No one is the villain in their own story - but if you want this bit "I am honest and passionate" to jive, then these bits "How to implement the do the bare minimum? Searching for another job is not an option at this point. I

None. If you live in a city that has enough stuff nearby or public transit sufficient to be considered "walkable" your housing costs are 2-3x higher than they would be otherwise and your taxes are probably higher as well. Far more

You also pay way less. DoorDash and all the others don't just charge the fees and the tips and what not, they also inflate the food cost by a pretty hefty amount. A simple example: McDonalds has a 2 for $2 deal on sausage mcmuffins &am

Heh you joke but look up laws related to door-to-door sales. Despite the fact there isn't a homeowner in the country that wants people to physically come on their property, interrupt their day and spam them to their face - it is imposs

As a solo founder this is not what you should be spending your limited time on. Hire someone to think about the small rocks and focus your time on the big rocks.

Mostly use stripe/freshbooks these days but have kept that paypal account all these years because it feels like it's got special powers :-D

Way back in 2011 they did this to me. My marketing agency had been running most of our customer payments through PayPal for several months, and we were growing fast. At some point they took the $50K we had in the account and froze it for 18

I feel like you rather overestimate the prowess of law enforcements ability to solve murders, especially non-slam-dunk ones with a witness and an obvious connection between the murderer and victim.

Don't be so sure. I witnessed a friendly fire incident while at camp anaconda in Iraq way back in 2004. A staff sergeant was accidentally shot in the leg by a female soldier on the roof who was improperly loading an m240b machine gun b

I imagine it has only grown 13% precisely because housing prices have grown drastically. If enough housing supply was added to keep rents reasonable, I imagine there would be a lot more people there. Instead raising rents allows the city to

Space is really big. As a simple thought experiment, let's say each satellite is the size of a car (they are actually smaller but let's pretend). There are currently about 1.5 billion cars on the planet. They are confined to land

That's a tale of saturation. Toaster sales are probably relatively flat as well. Not because toaster use has declined but because people already have a toaster that meets their toasting needs. PC improvements have slowed to a crawl ove
