I live in Georgia. My current role has legal, regulatory and financial responsibilities. Without going into too much detail, I am looking for a lawyer to review my contract and discuss how to handle the situation I am in. I am looking for advice at this stage rather than representation.

I am available late afternoons and evenings, virtually. I need a quick, efficient, and cost effective plan to move forward. Pro bono options also appreciated as I am not a high income earner.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Hello,

Looking for a female PCP and gynecologist. Moved here a few months back and before that I did not have reliable healthcare, so no medical records. I have Aetna. Thanks!

I recently became COO of a very small nonprofit. My background includes management, but I had not previously handled payroll, HR, or complete financial oversight for an organization.

I received about two weeks of training from the previous COO before they left. There was very little documentation or structured handoff. I wasn't really shown how our budget is structured, what our recurring bills are, how they're paid, tax deadlines, vendor information, annual financial schedules, or how the budget is projected.

I'm now responsible for operations, HR, payroll, month-end close, and monitoring/balancing the budget. We have contracted accountants who prepare our monthly actuals after I complete month-end close, but they haven't been particularly helpful when I've asked questions.

I've discovered some concerning things since starting:

We were already operating in the red this year. There are significant foreseeable expenses coming up that don't appear to be reflected in the new budget. Our healthcare costs appear to be substantially higher than we can comfortably afford. I'm getting conflicting answers about who actually prepares the annual budget. Many vendor accounts were still under the previous COO's information when I arrived.

I'm working 50-60 hours a week trying to reconstruct processes and teach myself what I need to know. Meanwhile, the ED is telling people that I'm going to improve our finances and get the organization "in tip-top shape."

I'm concerned that I'm being put in the position of being responsible for financial problems that existed before I arrived.

For those who have worked in small nonprofits: What would you prioritize in my position during the first 30–60 days?

I'd especially appreciate advice on establishing basic financial controls, understanding cash flow and upcoming liabilities, reviewing the budget, documenting existing problems, and determining what should be escalated to the ED or board.

Is this level of responsibility without a proper handoff normal in very small nonprofits, or is this a significant red flag? There is a two month notice required for leaving this role.

I am looking for free support groups for women who have dishonest partners. There isn't a substance abuse problem, it's dishonesty with women and extreme self centeredness. I am very alone and also don't have a lot of free time. East side of town.

HR and nonprofit operations professionals: I’m looking for perspective on role expectations.

I am transitioning into a Director of Operations role at a small nonprofit organization. During the hiring process, my understanding was that tax filings and tax compliance were handled by an outside accountant, as this was stated reassuringly multiple times. The written role description emphasized operations, HR, facilities, risk management, record keeping, purchasing, and limited financial duties. However, I recently realized that I am being asked to fill out 990 information for payroll and that IRS correspondence is being sent to my predacessor on this role.

During the transition, I learned that I will be responsible for entering and approving payroll on a recurring basis. I have received training on the payroll system itself, but I have not been trained on payroll tax calculations, withholding requirements, tax deposits, or tax filing responsibilities.

My question is: In your experience, where is the typical line between a Director of Operations handling payroll administration and being responsible for payroll tax compliance?

Is it reasonable to expect that:

• Payroll tax responsibilities are clearly defined in writing?

- A person responsible for payroll processing receives training on withholding and compliance expectations?

- Tax filing responsibilities remain with a qualified accountant if that was the original understanding?

I am also being asked to become the sole person with administrative authority to add or remove users from the organization’s bank accounts, and I would appreciate perspective on whether that level of access and responsibility is typical for a Director of Operations role and what safeguards are usually in place.

I’m trying to understand what is considered normal practice and how other organizations define these responsibilities.

We are selling our house and were under contract with potential buyers. The buyers did a sewer scope and found cracking and damage, recommending replacement by one company. They then backed out of the sale at the very end of their due diligence, so our house has been off market for several weeks.

If we repair the driveway ourselves as their company suggested, it would require the driveway to be ripped up down the side, and it's on a hill and slope, the driveway is brand new.

Should we put it back on the market without the repair and provide a seller credit, or fix the problem but risk a brand new driveway that would then have a very obvious repair mark down its entire length?

Anyone ever get an email back from Jesse? We sent two over the last year with each concert we went to. Just curious. Not looking to be talked down to, just wondering. I know he's busy. Again, just wondering! Thanks and much love.

Looking for advice from Atlanta homeowners, buyers, and anyone who has recently gone through this process.

We are currently selling our home in another state. This has been a very emotional process because we know exactly what we are leaving behind. We spent years maintaining our home, and it has been incredibly solid: no basement water issues, no foundation problems, and no major system failures. We have loved the setting, the quality, and the peace that came with it.

As we search for our next home in the Atlanta area, we are struggling a bit. We work in public service, so our max budget is $650k. We are uncertain about townhomes or condos and the long-term costs associated with those, so we are primarily looking at houses. I work in Decatur and my partner works near the Beltline. My job is in person every day and also somewhat on call. We exercise on the Beltline every day and that is not changing. It is central to our lives.

Ideally, we would love to find something with a little bit of a wooded or forested setting, similar to what we have loved about Asheville, and a home that has been well cared for with no known water issues or major hidden concerns.

We are finding many homes with water concerns, deferred maintenance, or uncertainty around when major systems were updated. We are finding some neighborhood forests overrun with kudzu. We are also finding that competitive offers often require very short due diligence periods, which makes it difficult to thoroughly understand a home before committing.

We are realistic. We know no house is perfect and every home has something. We are just trying to understand if our expectations are unrealistic or if we simply have not found the right areas yet.

For those who have bought in the Atlanta market:

• Are there areas where well-maintained homes with fewer surprises are more common? How about years of houses that are more predictable in terms of quality?
• Are there any areas ITP where wooded lots or more natural settings are still realistic at this price point?
• Is this just the reality of the current market?
• How did you balance moving quickly while still protecting yourself during due diligence?
• Should we be adjusting our expectations, budget, or search strategy?

We are looking for a home that is safe, well cared for, structurally sound, and ideally has some privacy or natural surroundings, not necessarily perfect.

We would really appreciate any honest experiences or advice.

We are looking at houses and many that fall into our price range are anywhere from 50-125 years old. How do older houses fare over time, both in terms of condition and resale value?

For instance, we found a house that was 125 years old that we loved in a great neighborhood. It only had one bathroom. Obvious concerns would be lead paint, foundation stuff - those are the biggies we can think of. But the house is pretty and the neighborhood is great, so ...

We are in our 40s, so we'd be managing a very old house as we get older or hoping to sell it at some point. We can see both of those things being difficult in 20-30 years bc of the age factor. Want to know what others' experiences have been.

Looking for an outstanding real estate attorney who is able to offer time sensitive, remote consultations during evenings - the sooner, the better. Appreciate any suggestions.

My friend is selling their house and it's under contract. One of the buyer's inspectors may have damaged the seller's home but isn't admitting it.

The buyer's agent is scheduling inspections that my friend's agent keeps accepting. My friend has made it clear that any inspections moving forward need to justify what they are doing, and any non-visuao procedures that could damage their property need to be cleared by the owners first. They have had to communicate this to their agent twice. It doesn't seem to be happening. Also now they are requesting an agent be present for the inspections given the damage they found.

They sellers are not yet reporting specifics of what the inspections found but are insinuating larger damage. My friend will need to have time to do their own inspections for this damage which is not currently possible because they haven't provided details from the inspections or what they are asking for.

My friend may have to extend due diligence and their agent is asking them how many days, knowing they didn't get any specific concessions back whatsoever yet to get their own second opinions. This will involve calling other companies, scheduling visits, getting reports and waiting on those other companies' responses. They are turning the question around for their agent to answer since they have nothing to get a second opinion on yet. Their agent has no answer and isn't giving them parameters on how long they can extend due diligence for. If the potential buyers take most of the entire month long DD period to report findings, it seems unfair that my friend does not have that same time to consider the findings in return. They made it clear that they aren't being forced into a compromising situation and will walk away if this is what happens. They already don't have enough time to begin to get their own inspections bc the buyer's side is providing so little details to explore.

Looking for advice to pass on.

Bathroooms at Pack Square: Sign says they open at 8. Apparently now there are keycodes on them, too. None are flashing red for occupied, so I assume they haven't been opened yet. It's Saturday at 9:30am.

I'm genuinely curious about this and am asking in good faith.

I've heard a lot of people support Beltline rail, but I haven't come across many people who oppose it. Are there folks who are skeptical of the project? If so, what are your concerns? And for those who support it, have you considered any of the potential tradeoffs below, and if so, how do you weigh them?

Some questions I've wondered about:

• Could building rail require removing tree canopy along the Beltline?

• If canopy is reduced, could that make parts of the trail significantly hotter or less comfortable/safe during the summer?

• How would rail affect safety and congestion on busy trail segments like the Eastside Trail, where cyclists, scooters, pedestrians, and others already compete for limited space?

• Will Beltline rail meaningfully improve access to the places people use every day (jobs, grocery stores, healthcare, etc.), or is there a risk that it primarily serves the Beltline itself without addressing broader transit needs?

• Does the city have a realistic long-term plan and funding to maintain the infrastructure, or is there a risk it could become another undermaintained public asset over time?

What costs $5 or less? We obtained a $5 bill and we want to go out on a date tonight. This is a serious post.

Is it typical to have a clause in an employment contract that mandates a person give two months notice before leaving the job or face a specific financial penalty? I have never seen this before and not sure if it's normal in leadership roles. The environment requires continuity for the population they serve but the contract reads more on the punitive side rather than establishing a sense of professional trust.

Just as the title states. Considering a position where a retirement plan is offered to employees through this company. There is no employer contribution. I am unsure if it is a 401k or 403b but am asking to find out.

Can a phone show activity on a browser app even if they are in incognito mode? My friend found their partner's phone out last night after they went to bed. They refuse to take seriously the fact that they need to put it away in a monitored room. It didn't look like a browser was used on the screen time use setting window.
