A junior associate asked me if he could expense an Uber home after working until 1:30 AM.
I said absolutely.
Then I asked why he needed one.
He said the subway was running infrequently that late.
I asked how infrequently.
He didn’t know.
Concerning.
You cannot recommend a $64 transportation solution without understanding the alternatives.
So I had him prepare a cost comparison.
Uber.
Taxi.
Subway.
Bus.
Walking.
He included walking as $0.
I asked why it wasn’t the preferred option.
He said he lived four miles away.
I asked whether there was a medical reason he couldn’t walk four miles.
No.
Excellent.
Now we were getting somewhere.
At 2:05 AM he sent me a revised analysis including estimated travel times, safety considerations, and productivity impact the following morning.
Uber won.
Strong memo.
Approved.
Then Finance rejected the expense because he hadn’t used the firm’s corporate Uber account.
He asked me what to do.
I told him to appeal.
Three weeks later, the reimbursement committee approved $64.
He spent 7.2 hours getting it.
That’s $7,920 of legal time.
But you cannot put a price on fiscal discipline.
I lost my key fob for my apartment complex. They charge $85 for a replacement. I went on amazon and found a blank fob for $10, brought that bitch into the office and told them it’s not working and they swapped me out. Can’t believe these mf’s tried to rape my pockets like that lmao

Este es el fin último de las organizaciones de “derechos humanos”.
Vean todo el caso, desde el inicio hasta el final que pretenden; cada uno de los pasos es parte de la “tutela de derechos humanos” conseguida con sus “luchas y conquistas”.
Jamás los escucharemos, no importa cuánto nos ataquen.
No tienen nada que venir a decirnos; más bien, nosotros deberíamos estar denunciándolos a ustedes por lo que le hacen a mujeres como Noelia.
El mundo necesita urgentemente liberarse de estas organizaciones, que no son más que los bufetes de abogados de los delincuentes, que prefieren LITERALMENTE matar a las víctimas en lugar de protegerlas.
Harsh reality.
A bad day is coming.
Unless you die - you will experience:
Your father's death. Or your wife. Or brother. Etc
The above are 100% certain to happen - sooner or later.
If that day isn't today. Smile.
Be happy.
You'll have plenty to cry about soon enough.
At 27 I was -$30K in debt from 6 figs after losing everything on leverage. (2nd time losing it all)
Rock bottom.
Disgusted with myself whenever I looked in the mirror. Made it all back and multiples more a few months later.
It's never over.
You just need to do a little bit everyday, especially when it gets hard.
You're just one accident, one diagnosis, one unexpected phone call away from a completely different life
So stay humble and never take anything for grant
