Searchers, ETA, M&A peeps: How do you approach AR in negotiations as a buyer? On one hand, I understand why the seller wants to keep AR. On the other, I need money coming into my account from day 1 and there’s only so much a bank will loan for working capital. Even if the loan…

Denver really shouldn’t be letting Reggie Jackson shoot.

Take Reggie Jackson off the floor! This mf is playing for the Lakers
Reggie Jackson is taking far too many shots in an elimination game for my liking.
Reggie Jackson might be the worst rotation player in playoffs rn

Real sad state of the world. One of the things that brings me an insane amount of joy is watching coworkers start families. If I need to work overtime to make that happen for someone, then so be it.
A candidate got hired because she could start right away. 8 weeks later, she announced she's pregnant and taking 12 maternity leave. Never mentioned during the interview process. Should this be allowed?
Sales, Sales, Sales!🎯 If you are buying or starting a business your singular focus should be sales! Stop spending all your time on automations, a fancy CRM and a Website. If you have no sales it doesn't matter. Pickup the phone and call your biggest customer or a prospect.…
I spent 3 years developing an employee. Sure it was great for them. But for me and the business? Worst decision I could have made. You need to learn when to let go. Don’t spend years working on potential.
@Mikethelummox Pretty much what happened my friend. We were trying to hide it because he gets so mad when we laugh but it's so hard sometimes 😂
