Hi everyone!
I’m starting up a web design & development agency and am looking for feedback from those who have experience or expectations working with agencies like mine. I want to ensure my services address the current needs and pain points you face in daily operations.
I love discussing ideas, sharing knowledge, and brainstorming solutions, so I welcome any input! Here are some questions that would really help my research, but I’d appreciate any feedback or insights you can offer:

1. What are the biggest challenges you or your company face when working with web development agencies?
2. Are there any limitations or boundaries you encounter when working with web development agencies?
3. What features or tools are essential for your web development projects?
4. Do you prefer to leave the work to the agency, actively collaborate, or use a mixed approach?
5. What web development trends or innovations are you and your clients most excited about?
6. Are there any bottlenecks in your operations that slow down deliveries or outcomes?
7. Anything else you would like to share?

Thanks in advance for your help! I’m looking forward to your responses and any other advice you’re willing to share.

Hello! I'm beginning a new career journey as a flight attendant soon. I have my first flight in about 2 weeks right after service training. I'm super nervous about it already. It's a short turn around flight. The company told us that during the first few flights, other flight attendants will follow you and assess you and if you're not good enough, might get into trouble... What if I make mistakes or don't do something I'm supposed to do.

Hi all, this is sort of a cross post, and I am not sure I chose the right flair so forgive me and let me know if not so I can fix it! It’s quite an add situation, which is why I was not sure which flair to choose…
Against what I now know as better judgement, I accepted a pretty odd job with who is my current roommate/landlord, which is how I ended up moving here.
The original terms were that rent and food would be covered in exchange for basically being their personal assistant, while also leaving me time to pick up part time work so I had cash inflow.
Took a little longer than I liked, but I found outside part time work toward the end of February, and by the end of March I was told we didn't have time for me to be able to have another job, and was forced to quit my other job on the spot (for fear of losing my housing).
Once again, I'm cooking and cleaning for this person, as well as helping them with anything they needed for their fairly successful online business, including shipping, customer service, and odd jobs similar to research and data entry relating to the industry (sorry to be vague here, but in the off chance they see this, I would really like to do my best to protect my identity because it is a fairly small and close knit industry).
I was told I can't be actually paid, but as an amendment to our agreement, they said they could let me use their credit card for whatever I needed (which honestly ended up not being super true in the end).
I am essentially in a position where I have to ask someone else to do ANYTHING at all at this point, and I asked to take an entire day off (which would be literally my first day off since I got here in January) to spend it with someone I met here, since given the conditions the last month and a half have been a lot, and incredibly suffocating.
They said yes, then about 8pm on the day I was told I was allowed to be off, they texted me and informed me they didn't believe our arrangement was working for them and they have packed my things and will leave them outside and have changed the locks.
I asked if this would include the things that were purchased for me in lieu of actual payment, and was told they would "reimburse" me for the things instead. I told them simply I am not able to come at the moment, because I am not able to get back there.
I have only been paid monetarily sporadically or have had tips they collected in my name from their customers dispersed only at their discretion, and every time I have tried to leave the house for even a few hours before this there have been issues.
As far as I am seeing it, though, I was fired/locked out on a day I received approval to be off from work, for not being at work (we work from the house). I have plans to speak with local legal aid first thing in the morning, but have been trying to do research independently and am becoming increasingly more confused.
Which laws has this person broken? I’ve been researching this tirelessly since I received the message and just need some advice/guidance about what I need to have and know to be prepared to deal with this situation legally.
I feel like the internet is leading me in 17 different directions here.
Any help appreciated!

Hi all, I'm currently choosing which university program to commit to and have narrowed my options down to a Medical Science degree (think pre-med with specializations such as pathology, neuroscience, pharmacology) or a business degree from a prestigious university. I've always been extremely intrigued in branding, neuromarketing, and the idea of coming up with my own product and speaking to it to a room of people.
Now, being pragmatic, it's not as if a regular business degree will immediately make me a CEO. However, consulting and creating better strategies and marketing schemes for other companies seems like work I can thrive in and do well in. Perhaps I can even start a company that provides marketing strategies for other companies.
On the other hand, if I choose a pre-medical pathway and eventually end up in medical school, I can continue to hone my interest in marketing and business on the side; with the hopes of eventually starting a health-technology company or any other type of company. That way I really wouldn't have to work under anyone, as I'd go from residency to my own firm, while working on health-tech through medical school and then on the side of my job.
I'm naturally better at public speaking and group work; it is what I do best and what I enjoy. Medical Science is more exam-based which turns me off; however I figure I can just find clubs that are project based and require public speaking.
I'm unclear on what path to choose, and although I know that none of the greats were stopped by a college major, I really want to choose well. I really really want to thrive. I know this sounds naive, but I would appreciate any help I could get.

hi i start my summer internship next week, (at the company i did last year but different team and location) and i was wondering if it would make a bad impression if i started wearing heels. the overall dressing attire last year was mainly business casual and i will also be wearing business casual, but last year my manager and everyone around me were tall and i felt like i was being talked down too and came off child like especially since i was the only woman from the team in the office (if this is making any sense, please tell me it is! the 2 other women i knew were in different locations). i want to start wearing them to avoid this this year but i want to get an opinion first. ik swes and engineers in general mostly dont have strict attire but i want to make sure wearing heals wont be weird or too much!
i realize this is a kinda stupid question but i genuinely don't want to make a bad impression or start my internship off with certain vibes (if you understand what im trying to say!)

I forgot to mention I am a first generation student, my mom never graduated from college because she could not afford it so she had to drop out and my father did not even go to highschool. My dream schools are university of Pennsylvania, Princeton and MIT.However, I would still like to know if I have a chance of getting in a top 15 college.

TLDR: My flight was overbooked, so I was stressed about Delta not being able to get me to my destination and making me figure out a way to get there myself, as well as leaving me stranded for a night in NYC. A Delta supervisor then followed me after I was done speaking to her and walked away from her to harass me about how I should have nothing to complain about. They also sent my bag to the wrong country despite me warning them multiple times beforehand that it was mistagged and should not be going to that country at all, but they fully ignored my concerns and gave me false information until it was too late. Avoid delta at all costs.
On Thursday, May 16, 2024, I was scheduled to fly to Stockholm with a layover in JFK. I made it to JFK with no issues, four full hours before my next flight, which was DL 204 from JFK to ARN. Once the plane and gate agents had arrived, they started asking for volunteers to go on the next flight to Stockholm as they had overbooked the flight. Because I had no seat assignment, I became increasingly worried as it got closer to the scheduled departure time and the compensation amount kept going up, meaning they still needed more volunteers. Once everyone who had a seat assignment boarded, I asked the supervisor at the gate if they would be giving out any more seats. She said we would have to wait and see, to which I said “Okay, thank you.” A few minutes later, I went back to the desk to ask a different gate agent if I would get the compensation volunteers are getting if I end up not getting a seat, as pretty much everyone had boarded and I still did not have a seat. I asked her this politely from the other side of the desk she was sitting at. She refused to look up from her computer or even acknowledge that I was speaking to her, despite her clearly not being too busy to at least look at someone who is respectfully speaking to her and having heard me. I had witnessed her do this to multiple other customers who tried to politely ask her reasonable questions about the status of our flight. She refused to even look at any of us and smirked while ignoring us as if it was amusing to her. You learn when you are a toddler to look at someone when they are speaking to you and at least acknowledge their presence when they ask you a reasonable question. I calmly told her, “This is incredibly unprofessional, by the way,” at which point she started to argue with me. She claimed, “You asked my supervisor the same question and she already said she didn’t know, so I don’t have to answer you,” as the supervisor nodded in agreement. I told her, “You can still at least acknowledge when someone is speaking to you,” and walked away as I was already fed up. I had asked her a completely different question than I had asked the supervisor, and regardless, purposefully ignoring paying customers in this way is disrespectful and completely inappropriate. I was baffled as to how she acted this way in front of her supervisor and thought this was okay. But once I talked to the supervisor for longer than the 3 seconds I spent asking her that one question, it became clear to me why the gate agent acted this way.
Eventually, another gate agent told me I had been assigned a seat and that I could finally go and board the plane. Once I got down to my assigned seat, someone was already sitting there. She had volunteered earlier to give up her seat, but due to miscommunication within the team of Delta agents, she had been told to go back to her seat and that she no longer needed to volunteer. I went back to one of the agents, who I watched put me on the volunteer list without actually verbally telling me anything. I never actually said, “Yes, I want to volunteer.” I was told to go back up to the gate, so that the gate agents can help me rebook my flight. Once I got up there, I repeatedly told the agents that I needed to be in Stockholm by Saturday morning, and they reassured me each time that there were flights available for me to do so. One agent had found an itinerary for me, but then was told to go by the supervisor, as the supervisor apparently no longer needed as much help anymore since the overbooking situation had been figured out (at least in the supervisor’s eyes). As I stood at the desk trying to get someone to help me, the supervisor eventually told me to come over to her. At first, she told me there was an itinerary that she could book for me to be in Stockholm by Saturday morning. I asked her for the details, then she said that itinerary was no longer available, despite her having told me thirty seconds prior that it was. She then started helping a different customer, despite not having resolved my flight issue, and I watched her continue to help other people before returning to me. When she finally got back to me, she started barking alternate destinations at me, without giving me any time to process or look up if I would be able to get to Stockholm if I was sent to that alternate destination. She eventually said Amsterdam, and as I searched for transportation from Amsterdam to Stockholm, she told the person she was on the phone with, “I don’t know, she hasn’t responded to me,” while side-eyeing me. It had been less than a minute since she told me the alternate destination, and I had told her I needed a second to see if I would be able to make it to Stockholm with alternate transportation before giving her confirmation that I could be put on the flight to Amsterdam. Eventually, I was able to find a KLM flight that would get me to Stockholm from Amsterdam, which she was no help in helping me find. In fact, the other customers who had volunteered helped me figure this out, as they stayed with me for emotional support, even though their own situations had been figured out. As they saw that I was a stressed teenage girl that had been put in this situation, they empathized and showed me kindness, something the actual Delta employees refused to do. Once I saw that there were available seats on the KLM flight from AMS to ARN, I told the supervisor that I would take the flight to Amsterdam. Once this was confirmed, I asked if I was guaranteed a spot on this new flight, since I did not want to end up in the same situation. She told me with an aggressive tone “Once you are booked, you are guaranteed a seat.” Confused, I responded “I booked this original flight months ago, but did not get a seat on this flight.” This is when she raised her voice to yell at me, “No, you volunteered to give up your seat. If you really wanted to be on this flight, I would’ve told the other lady to get off.” I did not knowingly volunteer. I was put on the volunteer list without anyone asking me. To add on, when I saw they put me on the volunteer list, I was scared to say anything as one agent had already been argumentative with me and if I did not let them put me on the volunteer list, I would have gotten significantly less compensation and still not gotten a seat on the flight. I really had no other choice than to let them put me on the volunteer list (again, without actually asking me at any point), but the supervisor acted if I had made the decision on my own. I would’ve preferred to be on the original flight, but I never had that option. I then just replied, “Okay, thank you.” and walked away from her.
I would also like to add that throughout this entire interaction, she repeatedly told the other employees around her how much she did not want to be helping me anymore and how she just wanted to go get dinner. Further, the new flight to AMS was the following day, and she did not even attempt to help me get accommodation or transportation. As stated in Delta’s policies available on their website, if you are inconvenienced for greater than 4 hours and overnight away from your home or destination, Delta is meant to provide complimentary hotel accommodations or provide a voucher for accommodation, as well as providing transportation and vouchers for meals. I am a teenage girl that she left stranded in NYC for a night. Luckily, I knew someone in NYC that I was able to stay with, but had I not had that option, this would have been a horrible situation to put a teenage girl in. She did not care at all, and to her, rebooking my flight was good enough, despite it being the next day and to an entirely different country than my destination. Further, Delta is meant to rebook you on a flight or combination of flights to your original destination or next layover, which they did not do. I had no plans to be in Amsterdam, until Delta forced me to go there as they gave me no other viable option. Delta is also supposed to “provide notice explaining our obligations and the compensation you will receive if you are involuntarily denied boarding,” which the supervisor and gate agent(s) refused to do. I was deliberately ignored when I asked, as I described earlier.
After I had ended the conversation with the supervisor and walked away from her, the other customers/volunteers who were supporting me asked what my situation was now. I started to explain to them, “I have been put on a new flight to Amsterdam and booked a flight from Amsterdam to Stockholm, but I am still a little stressed because I don’t have an assigned seat on my new flight either. I might call Delta customer service later just to confirm that I will be able to get on this new flight.” As soon as the supervisor overheard that I may call customer service later, she stormed up to me, following me to where I was after I had walked away from her desk, to yell the following in my face: “Are you saying the customer service I provided wasn’t good enough? Are you not happy with the $7000 voucher?” I was grateful for the generous voucher, but still rightfully frustrated by the situation. I started trying to respond, telling her, “No, it’s fine, I just-” I was going to say that I was still just a little confused and stressed and wanted extra confirmation, but she cut me off. She raised her voice even further to say, “I’m not done. Let me finish.” At this point, I felt scared, as she clearly had no problem arguing with and berating customers, and I did not know how the situation may further escalate. This is when I told her, “Okay, bye,” and told her how unprofessional she was, as I walked/ran away from her as quickly as I could out of fear that she would follow me again to harass me further.
In addition to this, once the flight had left, I was also told that my bags had been taken off the plane and would be available for me to pick up at JFK’s baggage claim. When I arrived at baggage claim, they at first could not tell me where exactly my bags were, but told me to wait as they should be coming. After about 30 minutes of waiting for the bags to arrive at baggage claim, I went back to the Delta help desk at baggage claim, where they finally told me that my bags had been retagged and checked in to be put on my new flight to Amsterdam. When I tracked my bags online later that night (Thursday night), I saw that one of my bags, which was my main luggage with all of my clothes and toiletries, had been tagged to be on a KLM flight to Copenhagen after the flight to Amsterdam. I truly do not understand how or why this happened as I never had any plans to fly to Copenhagen. Once I noticed this, I called Delta customer service, as well as Delta’s baggage service department to tell them that it was tagged wrong and should not be going to Copenhagen. Both assured me that neither of my bags would go to Copenhagen and that I would be able to pick them up in Amsterdam. When I woke up Friday morning, I called again before my flight to Amsterdam to really make sure that my bag would not end up in Copenhagen. I also texted Delta’s baggage department and talked to a representative in person, who all reassured me that neither of my checked bags would end up in Copenhagen and that I would be able to pick up both of them when I land in Amsterdam. I get to Amsterdam on Saturday morning, and one of my bags comes out to baggage claim, which was the one that had been tagged properly, while my main luggage (that I warned Delta numerous times about having been mistagged) had arrived in Amsterdam but was immediately put on a plane to Copenhagen before I had even gotten to baggage claim. I was extremely frustrated because I knew this was going to happen, but Delta dismissed and ignored my concerns repeatedly until it was too late. A KLM employee was finally able to help me solve the problem Delta created by marking the bag to be delivered to my hotel in Stockholm. By Saturday night, my bag had been confirmed to have arrived in Stockholm. By Sunday afternoon, when my bag still had not been delivered to the hotel, I tried to contact Delta again, as they were still responsible for my bag, despite the KLM employee being the one that actually helped me. When I contacted them, Delta continuously made excuses saying it was probably too late to intercept the bag when I called earlier, which is why it ended up in Copenhagen, as well as saying that since the delayed baggage report was made on Saturday, they still were not in the wrong as it was only Sunday. One representative also hung up on me for saying “This is fucking ridiculous,” which it absolutely was. I understand that I probably shouldn’t have said fuck, but she kept making excuses and telling me information I knew was false, so I was entirely fed up, especially after the nightmare Delta had already put me through. To be clear, I had been calling Delta about their mistake since THURSDAY NIGHT when they still could’ve easily made sure it was tagged properly and/or intercepted the bag before it was sent to Copenhagen. Instead, they ignored me and lied to me because they were too lazy to even try to fix their mistake when they still could. My bag being sent to the wrong country was entirely preventable if Delta had actually cared to listen to me about my concerns.
Absolute worst travel experience I have EVER had. I have been taking at least 6 flights each year literally since birth and have never been treated so poorly by an airline, or any company ever for that matter. Truly don’t know how everything went so wrong and why Delta could not do a single thing right in this entire process. They continuously made things worse through their employees’ behavior and refusal to actually do something about their mistake(s).

For several months, I have dedicated significant time and effort to this thread, prioritizing it above other aspects of my life. While some may perceive this level of engagement as unconventional, I am resolute in my commitment to assisting others in navigating this process, aiming to prevent them from encountering the pitfalls I experienced with my chosen interlock provider, Intoxalock.
My ordeal commenced with the installation of an Intoxalock device in my vehicle, which swiftly led to battery-related issues within the initial week. Possessing a background in vehicle maintenance and repair, I accurately attributed these troubles to the device, impacting my relatively new vehicle. Regrettably, the customer service experience exacerbated the situation, as the persistent issues caused by Intoxalock resulted in violations, mandated towing expenses, and lockout fees. Moreover, the pricing discrepancies starkly contrasted with the initial discussions during my provider selection process, with undisclosed fees proving exorbitant. Compelled to engage with an application and sign an agreement laden with onerous clauses, including relinquishing the right to legal recourse in case of exploitation or financial harm, further compounded the unfavorable circumstances.
It has come to my attention that Intoxalock maintains a presence on Reddit, disseminating misleading information in an attempt to discredit not only my narrative but also that of numerous individuals who have endured similar hardships with the company.
My dissent is not directed at interlock systems per se, but rather at Intoxalock for what I perceive as a deliberate design flaw in their device, creating an undue drain on the vehicle battery when the engine is inactive, resulting in battery depletion, subsequent towing, repairs, and incurred lockout charges. This cycle, in turn, serves as a pretext for prolonging the interlock sentence and facilitating further exploitation. Notably, Intoxalock has garnered the highest volume of complaints among interlock providers in the states where they operate, with a disproportionate share of grievances attributed to their services compared to other providers.
Allegations regarding Intoxalock's employment practices, including the recruitment of an individual linked to the Department of Defense, and suspicions of financial impropriety to influence state-level interlock supervisors, underscore a troubling pattern. Public records, including Freedom of Information Act requests, may shed light on these claims. The recruitment of a former Director of Product Management from LexisNexis, a prominent risk analysis firm utilized by insurance companies, further underscores the strategic acumen with which Intoxalock navigates its operations, potentially contributing to their sustained predatory behavior.
Notably, Intoxalock's decertification in Virginia and Missouri, alongside ongoing investigations in various states and multiple pending legal actions in federal district courts across the country, underscore the gravity of the situation. Consumer Safety Technology, operating under the trade name Intoxalock, is the subject of these legal actions.
The utilization of TrustPilot for reputation management, including the retention of an executive account to curate reviews, raises questions about the authenticity of the overwhelmingly positive feedback attributed to Intoxalock. The systematic removal of negative reviews and the orchestrated dissemination of positive feedback via social media channels further erode the credibility of their online presence.
While issues may arise with other interlock providers, the magnitude of challenges posed by Intoxalock surpasses that of its counterparts, warranting a call for accountability and reform. Failure to address these concerns may set a precedent for similar exploitative practices within the industry, necessitating proactive measures to safeguard consumers' rights and prevent widespread harm.
It is crucial to remain vigilant against misinformation propagated by Intoxalock's social media team across various platforms, including Reddit, and to advocate for transparency and accountability within the industry. My personal experience has fueled a steadfast commitment to raising awareness and advocating for change, driven by a desire to prevent others from enduring similar hardships.
In closing, I urge individuals undergoing this process or those who have traversed similar paths to persevere and glean valuable lessons from their experiences. Mistakes are inherent to human nature, but the ability to learn, evolve, and advocate for justice underscores our capacity for growth and resilience. A DUI should not serve as a pretext for dehumanization or exploitation, underscoring the importance of upholding ethical standards and fostering a culture of accountability. Wishing strength and fortitude to all individuals navigating these challenges—may we collectively strive for a safer, more equitable future. Drive responsibly, my friends.

I come from a petty-burgeois family. For a while we had a good relationship and similar politics, but then the 2018 Bolsonaro election and their support of it made me deeply reevaluate my politics, eventually leading me down the path of Marxism, then Marxism-Leninism, and now I'm investigating Maoism as well.
The root of my problems, I thought, is that I still cannot fully let go of petty-burgeois emotionalism I grew up with, I still cannot fully hate my family even though they are class enemies. But I eventually came to recognize that politics isn't about what I feel, and came to admit that, uncomfortable as it may be for me, they may very well have to be shot, and I will have to just let it happen. It should be fine, I would live to see them die for one reason or another and if this happens as collateral damage of a revolution it would be overall a really good thing even if I, personally, need some time to mourn later. No revolution with white gloves and all that. I already had people in my family die so I know I get over it eventually and that I can't put my temporary feelings above the whole future of the working class. With this I thought I was useful enough as a ML.
But when I started investigating Maoism it became clear that my petty-burgeois individualism runs even deeper than that, namely, I'm fundamentally unconfrontational and cowardly and reclusive and cannot honestly visualize the revolution actually happening within my lifetime, and this is the kind of stuff that hinders political activism and makes me prioritize personal safety over the movement. Still, I tried getting out of my comfort zone and being politically active anyway in my pre-Maoism days and joined the main revolutionary party in my country (Brazil's PCB), of Marxist-Leninist orientation (revisionist and outdated, as I would later find out in my studies). But where I live it was only a small cell and we were unable to do any significant political activism until it eventually disbanded due to internal conflicts within the party and due to everyone being too busy and too hopeless. And now that I'm studying Maoism, it all makes sense in hindsight. We were more concerned with distributing magazines than being in touch and at the service of the masses and that is a grave error.
But what can I do then? My problem isn't in the outcomes of the revolution or with the kind of society that will follow, which I belive to be overwhelmingly positive and I'm fine with giving up my tremendous privilege for it (I'm studying computer science, a very privileged labor aristocrat position, but it's mostly because it's a subject I enjoy than because of the prestige, I'm definitely supportive of wage equality and I'm fine with doing hard labor in the mines or in the camp or the factories should it be necessary, and I'm also fine with having my petty-burgeois wealth expropriated) even if I still have some things I'm a tad uncomfortable with due to my petty-burgeois upbringing and that I'm trying to change (again, I'm an unconfrontational coward). The problem is that now that I see how only Maoism and MLM can be truly revolutionary, I don't see how I could be in any way useful for helping the movement, as there is no Maoist organization I know of in Brazil (the ones we had that split off the ML party eventually gave up and became social democrats), and even if there was, with me as I currently am with my class background, I don't think I have at all what is required for the type of activism Maoism requires.

Hey reddit. i ended up buying a car from autofair honda in manchester in 22'. certified preowned and all (funny enough its a subaru) with the "extended service contract" which ironically lines up with their 7 yea100k mile warranty. Fast forward to this week and im having some issues with the car. i called and got the warranty company name and low and behold, they dont cover the part. and going back to the certified preowned, based off of their website can only be certified if the vehicle has no accidents. i had gotten an alert in my email regarding my vehicle history has an accident from 2021 (before i got the vehicle) so i have 2 questions:

1. would the dealership do a "good faith courtesy" repair on the vehicle since this is now an issue
   
2. is there anything i can do about the accident and how it was processed by them.
   

anything helps! TIA

I am suing a previous employer due to wrongful termination, unsafe work conditions, which I reported and was ignored, resulting in the unsafe conditions affecting my own health for over a year. I can only say so much, but I have a strong case because all communications were documented and even though the employer lied, state agencies investigated their statements and found them to be not true. They lied and said that I quit when they actually fired me for voicing my concerns and reporting them to the facility DR, as a am a healthcare professional and patients had a specific disease, very contagious, which they refused to acknowledge even after I showed proof. They fired me for reporting this despite the patients being sick and needing medical treatment, and to not report this would be against the laws set forth for my specific license.
Anyways, I’m having trouble figuring out how to draft the intent to sue letter without going into great detail. I understand I need to furnish some type of proof, which I have a lot, but I keep saying too much, or not enough, and I’m going in circles at this point. I have medical records, records from state agencies, and proof in emails/messages that they recklessly sent me not thinking anyone would consider taking legal action, where they are blunt about firing me and the reasons.
I know I have a strong case, and I am unsure of how to draft my intent to sue, and also lost as to how much I should ask for. This condition caused me to be unable to work for many months and I understand I can go through workers comp but they also wrongfully fired me and I don’t feel like jumping through hoops while they mess with me as they have private insurance. I quit my job of several years to work for this company and within a month was fired for doing my job and not hiding things like they wanted me to.
What type of proof is considered being efficient at meeting the burden of proof for a civil case in Ohio? How much should I include, and should my letter detailing the situation be separate from the intent to sue letter? Should I include all of my records? I want them to understand I have a strong case because I am sure they will be found liable by a jury if it goes that way. But, I’d rather just settle quickly because I am very busy and am actually studying for my LSAT as I decided to go a different way after my experience with this employer. It cost me about $5,000 out of pocket, lost maybe $15k in wages, and myself and family are still seeing specialists due to this issue. Though it seems as if we are nearly recovered a year later.
Is it reasonable to ask for $20k? What proof should I include, and how detailed should my explanation be? Should I address this to the company by their Ohio business name or their contact information/representative off of the Ohio business name search records? Should I include specific names etc? Thanks for any information you can give me, I know I’m asking quite a bit.

So i think this may be a little backwards, but here goes.
Ive built PCs, I work in a networking adjacent field, and I like having stuff thats overkill in all aspects of life. So after not taking my ADD meds for a few days, I'm diving head first into something like an idiot.
Backstory: for the last 10 years or so i have been installing Physical access control, and camera systems for a national retailer (think BIG BIG. with their own data centers, and central monitoring). In that role, i was provided hardware, and had to program at the device level, but never dealt much with the server setups. I got tired of traveling nonstop, so i got a new job as an "engineer" for another company, doing design work. Since we utilize lots of systems that i am not familiar with I am working on taking some of the server setup work from the programming team to familiarize myself with the systems. In the process of doing that, i realized that having my programming lab be a folding table with a server sitting on it and cameras and access boards strewn about wasnt the best bet, so i picked up a free 48u rack off marketplace for cheap, commandeered a UPS and KVM Console, from the office, bought 2 used servers on marketplace, and a few cisco enterprise 48 port POE+ switches. All hardware was pretty cheap which im sure i will regret soon (im sitting around $400 currently). Here's what im working with:
Server 1 - Dell Poweredge r720XD - dual Xeon e5-2670's, 128gb DDR3, 1tb HDD (11 empty drive bays, that i will be filling for storage) Server 2 - Dell Poweredge R710 - Dual Xeon L5520's, 128gb ECC, 3x2TB HDD
Server 1 im planning to be a NAS for documents, photos, and CCTV storage, as well as running the CCTV VMS, plus whatever else it can handle
Server 2 was basically given to me when i bought server 1 so im not 100% sure yet. I was thinking about using it as a way to train on new software solutions when given demo licenses by our vendors, Maybe even set up in its own VLAN/standalone network to work on more secure buildouts
Some other things i would like to try but im unsure if i have the hardware capability:
Make a minecraft server for my daughter and a few friends (3-5 active players at a time) plex server (currently dont own a ton of physical media, but that may be in the future. im tired of switching streaming services month to month) Have games saved to the server so i can play them on any computer in the house without filling up the laptop (not sure how to make this happen. Basically, i like to play Flight sim 2020 every few months, its 200gb, and im tired of uninstalling a bunch of stuff and installing it just to play for 30 mins and get bored)
IDK. I guess what im really asking is what now. Where would you begin? What other things could/should i be doing. I basically needed a structured cable/rack setup but got too excited on FB marketplace, and im looking at a pile of parts wondering if i am an idiot.

So I have been having extreme anxiety about "failing to launch" I feel that term is kind of a buzzword but it is accurate in this case. I just turned 27 and feel like my life is flashing before my eyes. Im in complete panic mode and am having analysis paralysis.
From 17-25 I basically just did the bare minimum in life because I was admittedly depressed and had 0 confidence, psychiatrist and therapist told me I have PTSD. I have not taken meds out of fear but I may have to now that I have woken up to real life.
I currently work customer service in IT and its a dead end job, I make 45k rn and my annual review is coming up. I graduated with a degree in Econ and minor in data analytics but did not get into that field. 1 year as bank teller, 1 year data entry and now 1 year customer service. I am studying for my Network+ cert to maybe get an internal help desk job, freshening up my data analytics skills to apply to low level analyst jobs, and also in school for programming, but I am losing my mind and kind of becoming suicidal due to the chaos of not having a path. Most people do a job and school and that is a lot. I feel like I am doing too much and not improving at one thing fast enough but I don't want to miss a opportunity to make more money ASAP so I can "launch" and get into a bigger company. At the same time I am truing to do networking certs to look for an internal promotion. Thus I continue to work on what I have mentioned.
I see posts about people failing to become real adults and how they are enabled. It makes me so anxious, I am barely an adult because I am one step away from relying on my parents again if I lose my job and I have no career path rn. My friend told me to go back to school and go all in and be a stand out student, other friends say continue working and do programming degree online. I am just lost and am hoping to get some advice on this.
