I normally take the NJCL from matawan > penn NY on the 6:17 train

Recently I’ve been taking the later trains due to time changes at work but wow so many cancellations and issues, is this normal for the 7am trains and later?? Or is it just recently cause I’m about to change my commute time back to 6am

Today specifically the one train I needed was cancelled, the rest were on time and fine?? I didn’t have time to wait for the next so I went back home, should I keep catching the earlier trains?

Hi so I am doing a summer marketing internship and just accepted an offer

The location they gave me is an apartment building on one of the floors, has anyone had experience with this? they said its like a lounge office type of work setting and they didn't mention if its like a studio

Is this a bit out of the normal? The company is legit but the setting confuses me - has anyone else done this before?

So I received an internship offer and the location is in an apartment building on like the 10th floor. I was told it was going to be a "lounge work environment", is this normal?

The company is legit for sure, Im just a bit confused. Is it someones like 1b 1b apartment suite or like a real office area? (i know we cant know for sure but if anyone has experience with this location type job setting id love to know)- ive just never seen something like that so im confused

For context it's a marketing social media internship for this less known fashion brand in NY

i was told i’d get a follow up message on the details of the internship yesterday at like 10am after i accepted, how long should it take for me to get a message back?

this position starts pretty much immediately i’m pretty sure so i’d assume i’d get info right away?

also is it normal for them to be communicating through imessage and not email?

As the title says, I'll need to commute to NY this summer and would like some insight into the parking situation.

Has anyone literally NOT been able to get a spot?

I got accepted to an internship for digital marketing at this big spa company and i’m curious what i’ll be doing exactly

i’m studying media production and create content, the interviewer told me i’d be specializing in content creation and influencer outreach - ive only ever done this on a small scale

how does this work in a professional company, there are only 12 interns and we’ll all be partnered up

i wonder how something like this requires 40 hours a week, does time go fast or slow?

i’ve never done this on a professional scale so i’d love to know more

I got accepted into a marketing internship for this company, what’s it like?

I have a grasp of what i’m going to be doing, creating content type of stuff is what i’m told

but how does it actually work at a professional place and why is an 8 hour shift necessary? does it go slow or quick?

i’ve heard i’ll be working with a 12 intern team and partnered up.

i’ve only created content for myself and a local business i worked at, this company is more professional and a franchise

Sorry title sounds weird

But i have 2 internships that might get back to me, both went really well, one will get back to me tomorrow and the other one i want even more will get back to me thursday

if i get the one that reaches out tomorrow i’m gonna say yes for sure

but if i get the one i want thursday is it morally okay to drop the first one and say another opportunity happened?

like for companies am i just a replaceable number or will they be mad?

both would start early may

My friend and I are both in our early 20s, and I’m honestly at a loss here.

She’s been seeing this older guy (not officially dating, but still involved), and by her own admission he’s sexist, homophobic, and racist (she isn’t white). And she didn't deny it when I brought it up again when she revealed to me that she's still seeing him recently.

From what she’s told me, he’s also insecure, easily angered, and very controlling/overbearing.

Early on, they had a big week long fight, hours on facetime, and he said some really awful, degrading things to her that are inexcusable.

(In my opinion the fight was over something very minimal that I don't think the words he used are appropriate ever, especially for what they were fighting about)

I’m not exaggerating when I say the insults were genuinely shocking, but for some reason when I told her how disgusting his words were she started saying "but he's right" "i am a ___" - I was shocked she was agreeing with the words, he's actually breaking her down in front of my very eyes

I’ve asked other friends how they’d react in that situation, and everyone said they’d leave immediately, his words were FOUL and I still can't believe he was comfortable saying those things to a person he only met 3 times.

Now she says he’s “been less toxic recently” and acknowledges he has red flags, but she’s still choosing to keep seeing him casually even though he seems much more serious about her than she is with him.

I even texted her "I don't think you'll leave unless he physically hits you at this point, where do you draw the line?" and she didn't deny it or say anything

One thing that really freaked me out, early on (like their third time meeting) when she was at his house, he joked about kidnapping her and keeping her in a cage “like a dog” when she’s “bad.” That alone made me not want him anywhere near our apartment. Thankfully she respected that boundary so far.

I’ve been very direct with her about how I feel, and she knows I think he’s bad news. She told him I don't like him already. She doesn’t really push back or defend him though which is a good sign I guess? but she still stays

I haven’t met him myself, everything I know is from what she’s told me. I get that I don’t see the full picture, but based on what I have heard, I can’t understand what positives could outweigh this behavior. (A LOT more has happened that he did, I just don't want to type an entire essay for a reddit post)

At this point, I feel like she knows exactly who he is and is choosing to stay anyway. As her best friend and roommate, is there anything else I can realistically do? Or do I just have to let this play out?

I've already bluntly bullet pointed every abusive behavior he's shown and she still doesn't listen. I think she's just bored because all of her friends including me are out of town right now for the summer, and she has always sort of had male validation issues, but I think thats deeper territory I won't get into right now.
