Basically, there are three others groomsmen besides me. The other three and the groom himself all live in the same city (5 hours from me).

They want to do a bachelor party that’s 2-2.5 hours north of them (in other words 7.5 hours from me).

This would involve me having to buy two hotel nights (Friday night and Saturday night) and it would be 7.5 hours worth of traveling both to there & back all for just one event that takes place on a Saturday night from 5-7 pm).

I am extremely close with the groom, but I also have expressed concerns due to money and time constraints of the traveling. I told him that logistically where they are having the bachelor party from 5 pm - 7 pm at is extremely difficult for me when I’m 7.5 hours from that party location, whereas they are all only 2-2.5 hours from the party location & so it might make most sense for me to not attend & so that they can all do the most optimal planning for the trip bc it’s 4 vs 1.

But I did say please do not let me hold you guys up. I want you guys to do what works best for the group and I asked him to please not revolve it around me/let me be the reason you guys don’t choose that event.

What do we think?

The new hire staff accountant said that the only con with his “recording trainings method only” approach is when it comes to looking for specific time stamps within the various recorded training videos (which he said can be very time-consuming but that he wouldn’t have it any other way).

For context, my current fully remote job is extremely high volume & constantly busy & very high stress.

However, I truly do love the flexibility and pros of being fully remote. I also have an extremely nice team. In addition, I recognize that nowadays (in 2026) fully remote jobs for accounting are becoming much less common overall.

For this other role that would be between a $20k-$30k pay increase (pay range is $125k-$135k), I have no clue how the workload would be or how the team would be. It would be about a 35 min-40 min each way commute from where I live.

It is a hybrid role where you go into the office three times a week (and then work remote the other two days of the week).

My friend who works in car sales said customers ask him all the time “How much do you own the car for”, and apparently he himself as a sales consultant doesn’t even know how much the dealership owns the car for.

Also, my friend said only the managers at his dealership know how much the dealership owns the car for and that the sales consultants themselves have no clue as to how much the dealership owns the car for. Is this common/the norm?

Curious to hear everyone’s thoughts. If you had to choose between a used Supercharged V6 2016-2018 Audi A6 3.0T Sedan and a 2017-2019 BMW 540i xDrive B58 inline six sedan for a daily beater, which would it be and why?

There is also now a new rule where if you want to relocate you have to ask for permission regardless of where it is & regardless of your title/how long you’ve been at the company.
