Guilty 🫠

Basically the title. Did one of these about a year ago and thought I'd do another one. A bit about me - I'm a lawyer, I specialise in startups, international law (especially concerning Web 3) but have worked in a boutique role (basically, 0-100 everything legal). Disclaimer - Obviously none of this is legal advice. This is for entertainment purposes only. The answer to most queries is "it depends" because a lot depends on the specific facts and circumstances of the case. Please do not take this to be legal advice or commit and act or refrain from committing an act based on any answer or comment here. Thank you, look forward to all your questions!

What is your go to dopamine you get? I have seen many people who have different types of guilty pleasure and dopamine rush such as Cigger*te, Corn, Alcoh*l, Phone/Social media, etc.. And some people get it by buying materialistic things like Phone, Laptop, Bike, Car etc.. Just curious to know what people are addicted to apart from the above mentioned things.

It’s Halloween. You’re anonymous here. Its time to release the guilt inside. It’s time to share your confessions. What have you once done in a professional setting which you’re not very proud of ?

What is the most toxic thing YOU have done to someone? C'mon we can benefit being anon 🫣🤭

I will continue with this series for people who like this kind of content, drop "+1" in the chat and I will tag you the next time I post content. I assume you guys know some basics of Texas Hold'em Poker. Flop refers to "the dealing of the first three face-up cards to the board" Now, let's look at the table and their positions: 1. Blinds: First to act every street after pre-flop. 2. Early positions: Under the Gun(UTG) 3. Middle positions 4. Late positions: Button and Cut Off The order for a 10 person game would be: Small Blind(SB) → Big Blind(BB) → Under the Gun(UTG) → UTG+1 → UTG+2 → MP1 → MP2 → MP3 → Cutting off the Button (CO) → Button (BTN) and then order repeats ... Some insights: 1. Blinds see the flop at a discount because they are compelled to play but are at a disadvantage because they are first to act. 2. This means that more money is made in late positions because they have more information to act on. 3. However in short stack situations, where effective stack size is small then early positions are better because you have the opportunity to go all in before someone else can as you can maintain Fold equity(Equity from Aggression). So, Expected Value or E(V) is how do you determine whether you should call or fold basis the size of the pot and your contribution to it basis the number of outs(potential winning hands) you have. E(V) = Win % * Win Amt - Lose % * Lose Amt For example: Villain(V) [UTG+1] = $500 Hero(H) (MP1) = $500 SB/BB + Ante = 20/40 + 10 Here, Ante is the bet everyone has to make every hand. This is to make the pot worth playing for everyone. Pre-Flop: $140 H = A 10 (suited Hearts) V = ? (Unknown) 1 Fold V raises $120 H calls $120, 5 Folds Flop: $380 The flop is 8 Heart, 3 Heart, K Club V = $370 (All In) H = ? (Do you call or fold?) Solution: A call is positive E(V) if: Win % > Call Amt/ Pot after Call You have a strong hand if you can get a flush here. which means you need one of the next two cards Heart Heart Club | Heart* | Heart* Which means: Win % = 1 - (Odds of 2 cards not being Hearts) = 1 - (40/49 * 39/48) = ~ 36% So, 370/1120 = ~33% is Call Amt/Pot after Call Since, 36% > 33% Hero should call. E(V) = 36% * (380+x) - x * 66% E(V) cut off at 0, x = $404 You stand to make $ if you decide to call that bet. You can raise any amount till $404 for a positive E(V) after which you should mathematically fold. An easier way to calculate this is to use 2% if you can only see one card after flop and 4% if you can see both cards. That way, Win % here would be = 4% * 9 = 36% 9 outs because, 9 cards that are Hearts are left in the deck.

Even after working, switching, working hard all these years The only thing I have no problem when it comes to money is sending it to parents or to my younger brother who is pursuing education Be it even a 10 rupees ice cream, guilt takes over I am at 6 YOE, earn enough by grapevine standards I still live in a PG 6k per month 4 beds in a room I had a dream of having an independent setup and a flat with monitors, a good keyboard and mouse. Tried, but couldn't get myself buying one. Gym, food is provided by the company, cab services came recently until then I had bought an old bicycle for commute. I do love to explore, I take my cycle and explore around the town talking with different people. The only other parties I have is when company organizes one.I seriously don't know why I am like this. Wahi purane kapde hai mere pass,abhi tak mast kaam chal rha. And yeah I try to win and participate in companies hackathons to get new clothes. I look ugly and don't get enough matches/attraction from the other gender. (6ft not enough muscular). All my friends are married at this point making around 40 to 50 lpa on an avg. Arrange mai bhi scope nhi, parents said no one is agreeing. Earlier I used to brainstorm with them a lot, but now I respect them whenever they take out even half an hour for me. I really don't know where I am going wrong. Pehle to din bhar kaam, gym, diet, padhai mai chala jata tha, now it feels a lot lonely.

It's getting dirtier by the day and sure some orgs are still up to their dirty tricks. The models: - Appraise and then Lay Off: Why bother putting bandaid on a stab wound? Anyways the folks are going to fight how to answer the ..why were you laid off war, and now you are adding another twist.. why were you appraised and then laid off? - Low appraisals to force quit: Undervalue them so they leave on their own. It’s a leeches way to cut costs. Kill morale 100%. Severance penny spent $0. - Trap them in PIP: Dress it up however you want - very very few escape this death sentence. - Silent treatment: No assignments, No meetings. Watch them spiral into anxiety and leave to save their sanity. - Workload overload: Drown them in work until they break. No need for layoffs list until they make it to your collapse list first. - Strategic reorg: Re-organize them out of existence. Offer a demotion or a proxy role in a random team that you know they dont want as an alternative. - Sudden policy changes: oh! I have seen so many I can't keep up with this one. New policies that make their life hell. People leave to escape your pettiness. - Mandatory relocation: Demand they move to an undesirable location. Then you treat remote employees like outsiders. Exclude them from key projects, conversations until they feel like foster care kids, second-class citizens. You know the outcome from there on. - Use the "Culture Fit" excuse: Call out how they’re not a culture fit. Vague, unchallengeable, and forces them out without severance. And don't sell me "the org has got to do what it has got to do to survive" line. I don't buy that If you have seen this being done, I understand your silence, but I don't value it. If this has been done to you or someone close to you, I am sorry. Orgs and the people failed you. We could be 1000x better than what we are operating as.
