That $200 house is currently an empty lot according to Google Earth, so yeah they probably did!

I would buy any house that costs less than an Xbox, regardless of how shitty it is, as long as the purchase includes the land it sits on.

A $200 house would require a lot of investment to get to where it could be inhabited, most likely.  Would also cost quite a bit to demo and haul off.  Then you have to worry about what happens on the lot and your liability.

Makes me wonder why there's so many homeless ppl there. They make that much $200 there in a day.

Only until the house gets bought for $200 and bulldozed.

2500 is a drop in the bucket for your company.  Turn it in.  You have an obligation to your family to get dat money!

I would do this, feel bad about it until lunch time, drink your lunch, then  :billdance: from there on.
Yeah, the $2500 obviously means more to me than to my company, but I just feel like tool doing it, maybe I can justify it by the fact that I'm not getting last year's annual bonus because I'm quitting before it gets paid out.

Then def do it.  My last gig had a bonus rule about being eligible for last year's bonus as long as you are still employed by the new year(jan 1st).  I quit on Jan 4th and never got my bonus.  Fuckers.

Well that's illegal.
Not really.  He has a contract beef since he was still there on the 1st.  But I would be willing to be they have a clause about being with the company at the time of payout.

Whatever is written in the company handbook, they have to stick to that.

Here's the scenario: I've turned in my notice at my current job, but I can technically still get my last semesters grad classes reimbursed through the company tuition reimbursement program before I leave. Is it stupid and petty to turn the tuition reimbursement form in for the $2500 when I'm leaving in a few weeks?
an important rule when you leave a company is to do what you can not to burn bridges.  especially so if you're at a point earlier in your career, which i'm guessing you are as we're discussing tuition from your graduate classes.  the idea behind tuition reimbursement is that your continued education is mutually beneficial to both yourself and the company you work for.  in your example, the only one benefitting from the education that you received and that they are helping pay for, is yourself. 

you never know when in the future you're going to run into someone from your current company and you don't know everyone that the people you currently work with know.

I think you instinctively know the right answer to this question immediately and you can be talked in to the other side.  I would go with your first instinct on this.

So I asked my manager, and proposed it as I wasn't going to turn the tuition reimbursement form in and she said I should. That it was for school that I did while I was working at the company and that she didn't think anybody would really care :dunno:

Also I found out I get my bonus for 2015!!

Good news on both! 

Her reasoning on the school coverage is stupid, though, so it's probably good that you are leaving if that is who they employ as managers.
