Serious question for advisors: when did some wholesalers start treating our calendars like open real estate? 😂 There’s a difference between offering value and basically informing me I’ll be attending a meeting. How do you all politely manage the overly aggressive vendor follow-up cycle?

I overheard a conversation I wasn’t supposed to hear, and now I’m convinced my entire department is about to be nuked. I can't ask them about it without admitting I eavesdropped, but the not knowing is driving me insane. Do I start applying for jobs now? There’s probably no way to bring this up without letting them know I was someplace I wasn’t really supposed to be.

I am 63 years old and have 30 years of Collections management experience working in banks . I currently have an individual contributor role job making $110,000 per year . Our office is only 5 people. I report to the owner . I've been here 3 years. I recently received a job offer of $110,000 for a Collections Manager for a Debt Collection law firm. They have a 401K plan but no match. My current job is very low stress , casual dress, and a very easy job. Is this new job worth the move ?

Can I get HONEST idea of hours you actually work?? Company, division/area, average hours per week?

Does anyone here actually meal prep? Any tips? I just looked at my DoorDash history for the month and I spent more on delivery fees and tips than I did on my actual car payment. Between the 14-hour days and the lack of energy to even boil water, I’ve basically outsourced my entire diet to various apps. And yes, I’m putting on weight.
