I was a government recruiter for IT specialists and intelligence analysts, as well as UX designers for the last couple years. I began before the pandemic and worked In office about half the time I was employed until I left late last year for personal reasons. There are several reasons it makes sense you’re not given the option to work from home like others. Who knows, maybe you’re better at your job than anyone else and your boss just really wants you around more, or the opposite; maybe you suck at your job, idk (I definitely don’t assume that of you). Some people it’s because they need a government clearance or certification and that kind of clearance cannot be used outside of a government building. Maybe the CEO simply paid for the space already and would rather see it being used rather than breaking the contract. Could be a lot of things.

I am surprised your work made such exceptions pre Covid. Regardless of industry, I’ve never worked anywhere that gave much of a shit if you had kids or a long commute. I’ve had some good bosses that worked with people but policies in general can be quite unforgiving.

People are afraid. Of offending someone. Of saying the wrong thing. Of inferring the wrong thing. Of referring to someone unintentionally the wrong way. And so on. So everyone minds their own business.

I think I just need something that cements the deal and ensures the person is able to pay rent. I'd be fine with $300 or something. It's two months. Not trying to make it a huge deal, but people have a tendency to just bolt, especially if all they did was show up and sign a piece of paper. A deposit feels like a far greater commitment.

Horsepower fascism.

Gotcha. Good luck to you.

regardless of the taxes being current, the town could seize the property under eminent domain and would only be required to compensate the owner with fair market value.

The problem starts with you “sitting in a Cafe Nero”.

Nice! Can’t wait to check it out!

I’ve seen her speak a couple of times and she is so smart and passionate.

I remember a comment here once that it's a spite building. I think there was bad blood between the owner of Karla's and the auto dealership there.

The remaining unsold unit was the biggest, so had the highest HOA fee of $425, so he would deposit $425 and withdraw $500 each month.

I’ve been asked to put down first month’s rent as a deposit for a sublet before, just FWIW

Oooh for sure!!

I like Giacomos and Neptunes and I have impeccable taste. I won’t be taking questions.

Wasn't it trump who said "you don't plead the fifth unless you're guilty"? Or some variant thereof...

Same here. You don't oppose an audit unless you've got something to hide.

btw when you open up let /r/BrightonMA know!

I lived in the north end for a couple years. It's charming on weeknights in the winter when you can waltz into any restaurant. My favorite restaurants were Benevento's and Vinoteca di Monica.

Well, Poftak was baker's pal so he had no incentive to fix the system or do well in his role - Chuckie wasn't firing him under any circumstance. He literally was just there to collect his taxpayer funded paycheck.

They're so useless and annoying.

I'm not in a position where I can just throw away $1800. Still in school, and for a long time (med school). Biggest risk to me is they don't show up as I'm moving to another apartment July 1st.

Any in particular you recommend? Esp for dinner?
