"..Has anyone you've known, simply disappeared? What happened?.."


"..My boss/owner of the company I worked for. He was always pretty hands off for such a small company. It was me, one coworker, and the owner. I saw the owner maybe 3 times over 4 years? We did low voltage/smart home installs. We had an app for scheduling and he’d put stuff on it super late every night, so I never knew what I was doing until I woke up in the morning. It was frustrating, but it worked. I always got paid on time and if he forgot to put something on the schedule he usually still paid me for the day.

One day, nothing shows up on the schedule. Whatever, boss is busy, we’ll figure it out later. Then again, and again etc. 2 weeks I don’t hear anything and nothing on my schedule, got paid for the first week but not the second. His phone is off, coworker hasn’t heard anything. Coworker finds boss’s daughter on Facebook and messages her to see what’s up.

He moved across the country without telling anyone, changed his number and everything. We had multiple contracts with builders, in the middle of like 6 different builds. I still had the company truck and hundreds of thousands of dollars in equipment in my garage, same with my coworker.

We told the builders he went to open a new branch and I was now the head of this branch, everything goes through me. Just kept doing the jobs and collecting checks. Luckily I already had most of the permits/licenses I would need. Took a bit to get everything proper but we got there. Told the builders the truth after a few months and they didn’t give a fuck as long as jobs kept getting done. It’s been 4 years now and we’re still rocking. No idea what made the old boss disappear like that, but it worked out for me.."

"...Americans overwhelmingly oppose data centers. Women most of all..."

I'm only counting two, high as I can count. Could be wrong .
