Rules:

The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.

Wow learned something new today. In my industry its standard 18 months its all yours going forward.

Stock options have always been a joke though, we had "windows" we could exercise them. Well wouldn't you know it the stock would tank a few days before the window opened... EVERY. FUCKING. TIME.

For stocks, we used to have a choice between options or grants. Options were always a joke because you were basically paying market value when they vested, so you could just go buy them on the market for the same price. So I always chose grants, which were 1/4 of what they offered you in options.

IDK what they would call ours, they would give you "x" amount of options at market but they we not real stock. When the trade window was opened you could sell them for the profit of the original issue price. So say they give them at 10 bucks and the window opens and its at 20 bucks you make 10 bucks per share.

It was a joke as the stock tanked every option window.

I did get lazy w/ one company and bought all company stocks w/ my 401k. They ended up being bought out by a major US blue chip company. That was a lucky wind fall.

Win some, lose some.
