Judging by the context, I suspect a vegan member of the community

I have been using Everydollar for a few years, without paying for the bank integration and other stuff. It’s from Dave Ramsey

The good:

Free if you don’t want bank integration/automatic data pulling

Relatively simple interface

Website based

The Bad:

Assumes a zero-based budget

Tries to force an app if using a mobile device

Sinking funds are implemented in an odd way

IANAL, but I believe a business can decide not to promote an employee for any reason with the exception of protected characteristics (Gender, race, etc.)

That being said, this is unreasonably shitty, and you should look for a job with more normal management practices. If they’re pulling this, there’s likely a lot more you’re not seeing.

My dude, you’re talking about scams and using the BBB as a source?

Like Yelp, you can pay the BBB for a good rating & to hide negative reviews.

It’s not harmful, but it really depends on what roles you’re trying to land.

I usually recommend going for A+ then Network+, then Linux+ for new technicians at data centers.

If you’re worried about interviewing, I can say from the other side of the table that actual projects and working through issues shows experience more clearly than simply studying for and passing a cert. Even something simple like setting your desktop/server to be the DHCP server (instead of the router being the DHCP server)
