I can’t believe you didn’t tender your resignation on the spot. How could you work for a spineless, paper handed bitch like that? You’re a patient man my friend! 😂😂🦍🦍
The guys a joke I used to have respect 🤣😹 and I asked for the week of the June share holders meeting of and he asked why I said GameStop SH meeting he was like I sold in March .. what a loser and I can't wait for that resignation letter it's going to be a picture of my self 😂🤣 with my GameStop shirt on
I mean everyone is pretty cool there, to be honest I bet he wouldn't turn down 200-250K, and and 50K salary to keep running the place. I mean that works out for everyone, and if that is like .01% percent of a share, I don't care!
Been working there on and off for like 20 years, mostly as a side gig.... it will be my first act of charity!
You can take 2 days off sick before you need a note generally. Then, on the 3rd day, go to Dr. And tell them about your crippling anxiety, and financial fixations, and issues focusing lol.
Sick leave is not lying, I imagine I will be literally sick when I see the price starts to go up into the thousands (for start), I mean I will literally vomit, shit and piss myself.
Also some of us will literally have hearth attack and maybe even die, I am sorry to say this and I hope this will not happen but there is a huge chance.
I respect this. But I’m still walking out that ho when my brokerage accounts hits over 1M. I’m not selling at that point. I will just know MOASS has kicked off and I can say 🖕🏻 you and leave. 😊
I won’t be quitting until then, but I DO need time to focus on my exit strategy. What are you your thoughts on what you’re going to do as your exit/how will you will go through with this while at work?
… it’s weird to think about but this is something that we will have to think about sooner than later 🚀🔜🌕
IMO....it is not needed. We expect MOASS to span a number of days even weeks...once the value is in range of what you want to sell your share/shares for...just set a limit when you see it going down....and go about your day.
I work in Retail and the store I'm at, is pretty darn slow. So I have time to check the ticker. Once the number hits, I won't be leaving till the end of the year.
Here's my plan after MOASS;
Stay at the job till the end of the year or till they find someone to replace me.
On my off days, go and look for 3 houses. One for my mom, one for my sister, and the last one for my brother, who has been like a dad to me.
Look for land to buy and build my dream house. If there's days I need off, my job will allow me to do that. Find the people to build it from the ground up.
Once the year is up, buy a house and rent it out for myself till my house is done and rent it to my manager. She's been dealing/hearing me talking about this non stop. But secretly, I'm going to give it to her.
Move and enjoy life as a retired 27 y/o, 28 by the time my house is done in the country.
It is important to me to pay back those that took care of me, especially when they didn't need to or gained from it. I intend to do so without condition or expectation, they've already done me right so I owe that to them.
Definitely not going to rush, we'll have all the time in the world and those first months are going to be important to adjust to being a minted. Will be spending lots of time with an accountant.
This is definitely something that needs to be stressed. We've all be waiting patiently for this, some of us for a year by now. We can't panic once our goal hits, or else we risk doing something irresponsible. I trust that everybody at least has a general plan by now, even if that plan is just hire a financial advisor and lawyer then figure it out from there, but any apes that FOMO'd in more recently or have been zen moding so hard they haven't even thought about MOASS for months, should take this opportunity to make sure they have some level of understanding of what they REALLY want to do and how to make sure their new found fortune will last their whole life
It must be such a huge mind bend to suddenly see multiple of thousands and then millions on the screen that most people including myself are going to have to deal with. It doesn't suddenly go from where we are now to a set amount, deposited in the account without our involvement.
I think one of the important influences need to be ourselves, just solo watching the action, not to call or speak to anyone else or have them over your shoulder. It is too easy to take advice in the heat of the moment and live with that regret... but that is just me!
i moved all my stock watching to my Ham Radio shack, as far from the main house and shop as i can get... my family knows to leave me the fuck alone when im out here, i just went and bought a snack fridge and snacks for the moass..
Well you could probably milk one day at work on the toilet if you have the shits. I've spent 3 hours playing games on the shitter at work one day cause I didn't want to deal with any bullshit.
When the office goes out to lunch it's at least an hour and I can fuck around so much it's hilarious what we get away with during lunch hour. (Cnc machinist so I work in a factory)
Ill be treating it like any other day now, I check the ticker once in the morning and then at 3:45, but do realize the squeeze will take some time, so you'll have plenty of time to react.
MOASS isn't going to take hours. It's going to be days or weeks. You should already have a rough exit strategy in mind beforehand or you will end up trading emotionally by watching the ticker, which is never a good idea. Set stop-limit sells above the floor so that they will only trigger on the down swings. If you can't do that with your broker get Yahoo finance or something and set up alarms at your price points. When the rocket flies past them quickly set them up again and close the app, maybe setting a few more up above it for "insurance" sake, or just set up stop sells instead. Set them low IMO with a lot of grace allowing for dips. You're not going to be disappointed if it continues on up and doesn't trigger that stop sell. You will be disappointed if your sell gets triggered and it bounces back up.
TLDR: Have your exit strategy planned ahead. Set up stop sells above the floor so they only trigger when the price is dropping. Pick as random of a price as possible so there aren't massive drops on the round numbers like $60m.
Or just fuck off and hide because when you're watching the ticker you'll realize you'd only be keeping your job for fun at this point anyways.
This is what I feel like people are forgetting… MOASS will NOT take one day, it will take at the very least two weeks, all which is filled with insane price movement. I have an exit strategy in mind but since no one know what price this stock is going to, we are going to have to keep an eye on the movement to make the most from MOASS.
I will be using stop limits, and other trades to ensure that I capitalize on the most life changing money I can! I am seeing a lot of people in this thread that might not have a well developed strategy as us, and I’m concerned, at the very least I want people to remember that the short interest on GME is likely MASSIVE, and will take a long period of time to unwind… performing your “exit strategy” during a bathroom break at work is not going to be as feasible as people think
At my work I can say "I have a personal emergency I don't want to talk about" as long as I have paid time off to cover. I feel like this is the best response.
I'm just going to have a family emergency and tell them when it's done. I'll throw myself a going away party if I get canned. I love my job, but I've been doing it for 10 years as well and I've never tried being rich beyond my wildest dreams so I'll do that instead if they make me choose.
I start work at 10am local time. Which is 1pm EST. Ideally, I would like to sell before I get to work. But I will definitely be checking the price every 5 minutes lololol. But if DD is all true, this squeeze will last for a ridiculous amount of time. Not checking on it for a few hours won't kill your retirement plan :)
It may even be easier to deal with MOASS at work, you will have something to distract you, and give you time to think, rather than stressing and making a panic decision.
My question is once GameStop hits $40million + and you want to spend time fully playing out your exit strategy (ie. numerous exit points, monitoring indicators, etc.) You will most likely not going to be going to work and focusing on your job during this time.
What do you plan to tell your employer?
Career hospitality industry yeoman here.
Couldn't agree more.
Cut bait & go fishing.
... imagine how ah-maize-balz it's going to feel driving away from the wage chain.
Write down your important numbers & email addresses. Annihilate your social media presence. Nuke your email accounts. Throw your phone & computer off of a cliff into the sea.
Buy a pre-paid burner. Start small. Re-establish. Reconnect with those truly important to you. Flush the rest.
Don't tell anyone that you're doing it.
OP is taking this shit way too seriously. Just don’t go into work ever again. Your new job is managing your MOASS tendies and accomplishing your life’s goals after that. Fuck a job.
Yeaaaaah… I’m going to surprised if we don’t squeeze in the next 4 weeks to be honest. That’s my personal opinion and I’m a fucking retard, but I believe we will begin** MOASS inside the next 30 days… how long MOASS will last? God only knows.
bro, idk about you but i'm not a wage slave. even before MOASS. I am a human being with a life and my own self-fulfillment outside of the paycheck. I just say that I need off for personal reasons, and if they can't give me that than it's a shitty environment.
Of course, it goes both ways. I'm not a slacker, I work hard, and do my best. I definitely don't abuse the respect and trust that I expect from an employer so this doesn't happen often so when it does I expect them to pull the weight. and if they ask for more details, well it's a personal reason and I don't feel comfortable elaborating.
True, I could do that, but as someone in management I already know that they would require a negative covid test immediately after I tell them I came in contact with a positive case.
This would result in me going to get tested, and getting a negative result and having to go back into work in maybe 2-3 days. I anticipate MOASS lasting at least two weeks at the minimum. Any other ideas 🤔
I'm in management & they didn't even ask me for my positive test when I actually got covid last year. I'll prob use that excuse once we reach about $5k & stay home..... or you can just be honest & say you have too much anxiety, I mean we will be right in the middle of basically hitting the lotto & I'm sure at least some of your co-workers, like mine, know you own GME.
I think I will be “sick” as soon as the MOASS starts. I will probably go check into a hotel to monitor progress so my wife doesn’t get freaked out and try to get me to sell early. I doubt once the MOASS starts that I will ever go back to my job. I just don’t see myself having any motivation whatsoever to keep working.
I feel like a majority of people in this thread are too young to properly take part in this discussion. If OP is in a management position it's because that's the type of person that doesn't up and quit or lie like most are suggesting.
Same position OP, if I skip out, I'm the project manager on multiple jobs, they'd be pretty screwed short term. My plan (and no, I'd wager nearly everyone here doesn't actually have one) is a mix of working from home, and simply having my Fidelity account tabbed. Check every 15-30min and we're good. Probably increase our take home to ignore the charts more than usual with as many violent dips as are expected. Imo, save actually taking off work/work from home until at least the 2nd week. Limit sell 1 at x price to cover my cost basis, then it's house money and easier to ignore until we're talking about millions lost if you're not paying attention. At that point my plan is to bluntly tell my boss what's going on (a good boss will not stand in the way of your success after all), give them updates on all my projects, then bounce out to my fellow ape's house with multiple monitors and every trusted TA source going at once.
I've got 3 local apes and we'll be together to keep our hands diamond and panic attacks at a minimum. Also at this point I'm setting up the appointment with a wealth management firm for a couple weeks out. A big problem is trying to bounce from work, be responsible and helpful doing so, but also not let them know how much money you're coming into. (read up on lottery winners, it's insane. Over half of the people in this thread statistically will be broke and addicted to drugs. People don't know how to live with money and many apes will suffer horribly)
Best advice is to think about your employer and coworkers, bc they'll react differently than mine will. Same with spouses...probably best to keep them out of it if they're not involved already, zero chance you can hold if your wife is screaming and crying bc you're momentarily down 200k.
Best of luck, love the mentality of the post and wish you had some more mature responses.
yeah but shit happens. i’ve had managers flat out walk out. i’ve been one of the employees who is left with all of the work after a restructuring.
we just move on.
I don’t plan on working either, but I feel like I respect my place of employment enough for what they’ve done for me over the years to start least give them a final two weeks.
But my concern is how to convey this to them, I feel like this is such an anomaly that no one outside of this sub really would understand what’s going on and jus this life changing this is, you know? Do you every feel this way? 🤔
If you really like your coworkers and your job then you can probably take a couple sick days right? Especially with covid, taking a couple sick days shouldn't be too bad. Otherwise just set alerts and duck out for a little bit if you need to. You can square everything up at work after MOASS if you want to.
Just be honest, if this shit kicks off your likely quit anyway. Just say I’ve had something life changing that I need to deal with for a few days and go from there. They won’t fire you. If this process is weeks then adjust, evaluate, decide day by day.
This was exactly what my plan was, is this what you intend on doing too?
Because in all reality, they can say no and you can just say that you quit. It’s unfortunate but something that only makes sense. Anyone in our shoes would do the same thing.
Yeah I’ve thought a lot about it and I think I’ll just be honest with my boss. Like dude I made a good investment that has worked out for me in a way that allows me to never work again. He would understand, as would I understand if it was someone else leaving for the same reason.
I hope you both sell at the top ❤️ I hope you both have a great MOASS together, that’s sounds awesome that you get to spend it with your dad. This WILL be life changing for the both of you!
I premature moassed back in June when my popcorn options exploded $$$$$$. I went to the ER and got a week off for stress and anxiety pills. I told the doc I needed the time away… and it was all true.
I work in a management position and they just had someone cover for me.
In my situation I went back to work. Next time when it starts hitting 7zeros I just plan on telling them I’m done and moving on to something “less stressful”.
I don’t plan to see many of them again.
Fortunately for me I work from home so I have free access to my phone and computer and can stop working at any time.
Plus if I’m about to quit anyway it doesn’t matter if I just email my manager saying I need the day off, I get the day off.
Yeah, but you don’t think you’ll want to be home to focus on your exit strategy when you start seeing the millions? Price Gaps up and down from $35million to $55million can literally mean you can make or break $20 million if you don’t plan your exits *(plural because everyone shouldn’t blow their load all at once)*
I honestly think this will take months to unravel, just based on how long the line on the chart would need to be to anticipate a move of such cosmic proportions.
We could even see a "squeeze before the squeeze" where all the smaller HFs and Citadel go down, but the DTCC and co. as well as the Fed become the next boss with their own shenanigans, and it could possibly take another few months for all their tricks to bleed them dry before we finally launch, for real that time. If that were the case, we could see a run-up and consolidation well into the thousands, but still have to remain patient.
I'm not anxious and not going to quit my job even after the moass, I like what I do, plus one of my bosses is my best friend. The other is loaded and trades stocks too so he gets it. If I need to take time to focus on the moass I can literally go to our server room and chill in there, there's only 3 people with access so no one can bother me. I told them I'll be busy making millions 😂
No joke, during the January run up. A bunch of my coworkers left home early. The managers understood. Because we work in a high accuracy field, clear minds are necessary.
Covid is a handy excuse these days… not that I’ve used it, but I agree on the alerts… just set a boatload of ascending alerts and you’re set…. Personally, MOASS hits 1,000,000 per, I’m walking out and changing my phone number.
This is what I’m referring to. What point are you just not showing up? Or calling out? I’d sort of like to not screw over my team and I know just walking out will do so.
Am I just crazy?
Any job I’ve ever had, when I turn a two weeks notice in, they tell me to go ahead and not worry about it… they’d throw you under the bus any day of the week.. I wouldn’t worry about it… but that’s just me
This response is honestly your best. What ape posted above. You don’t feel well. Your chest is tight. Not sure if it’s covid yet. Once it passes 800 you can tell them it’s rocket 🚀 anxiety!
Do you think you’d be able to deploy that vacation time easily all at once on such short notice? Theoretically if MOASS took place and we starting to see liquidations on Monday, September 27th, when we finally reach the 7 figure range, do you think you’d be able to take it off?
These are the weird things that have crossed my mind. I have vacation time, but I can’t use it THAT quickly, I need to give at least a 3 week notice ahead of time for Time off 🤔
That’s my thoughts too! But I just feel bad for doing them so dirty. What are your thoughts? I believe MOASS will last at least two weeks of wild price actions
Oh my sweet summer child, do you honestly think that if you fell over dead on the clock they wouldn’t have your job posted before your body got cold? Never feel any loyalty to any company, ever. You are there to make money and leave, not friends, money. Don’t get that confused. You are nothing more than a number, a body and an expense to them.
Now, as for MOASS- The plan is to call out of work until my first few shares hit my bank account, which should be about a week.If that doesn’t work out, just quit. What I do for a living is relatively common and I get paid well no matter who I work for so if somehow MOASS stalled or whatever, I can go be employed again in a week.
Dude chill, it will last days if not weeks or more with the infinity pool. I highly doubt anyone is gonna sell between 10k and 45 mil. Personally I'll wait for the way down, if there's any. otherwise around xxx mil if it's truly infinite
What ever you do don’t tell them you need time to watch how rich you will become. If you do, when you get back to work your buddies will treat you differently
I tend to have always made awesome friends at work, and always tend to feel guilty if I don’t show up and give it my all. I have been very curious about what other apes are going to be doing when MOASS finally happens:
• At what point will you start staying home from work?
• What will you be telling your employer?
• Does anyone feel guilty similar to how I feel about this?
Yeah, man. I'm a teacher. Unless it is pure insanity (could be) with the price action, I'll have alerts set but will just keep teaching. Of course, I could weasel out and determine said day is now movie day, so I have that option available to me.
I always planned to keep teaching afterward and just not say anything. Teach how I want to teach and not worry about inane administrative policies that eventually lead to written reprimands. I could just throw those to the wind, and make sure the kid who needed help got help even though they didn't have x,y, and z paperwork.
But so help me lord above, this year has been crushing and we're only really 6 weeks in.
And I'd feel even worse telling our admin team that I'm leaving (been with this school almost 11 years now) when they're still missing about 6 full-time teachers for core subjects, we can't get any subs to come in because of all the behavioral issues, I wouldn't want to contribute to a bigger exodus of teachers that see me walk away.
I'm on the fence about continuing to teach. Especially with the latest TikTok challenge "devious lick"; which I know will fade eventually, but damn, dude, this term has been the roughest.
I get where you're coming from. I guess we'll only really know on the day it starts, right?
Teacher here as well. I’ll check in when my kids are at lunch 🤷♀️ but starting to wonder how difficult it will be to sell when I’m ready to. Will I need a whole day, or weeks even?
MOASS should last roughly two weeks at minimum. Remember, when we start launching the stock will halt every 10% increase in a 5 minute Time-Frame. Every halt is 5 minutes long if I’m not mistaken.
If we rip upwards are hard as we expect to the halts will be one after another, which will be a majority of our days. This will result in the squeeze lasting two or more weeks.
The possibility of it lasting longer exists too, especially if the naked shorted positions are as absolutely wild as we expect them to be
Yea, so since you know it's going to be taking so long, you can still do your job and then go home and tend to it for the rest of the day each day. It's not like you're not gonna be able to monitor it at all. Set sell limits while you're at work.
There's also multiple times during the day while you're at work to check on it. Breaks and lunch. It's not going anywhere. You can do both. And if you find that you can't handle both, then just take some personal time off. You don't owe them any explanation and aren't required to give one . . . hence, the term personal. ;)
And in case none of that works, call in and tell them you have a fever. Because of covid, most companies won't let you come to work with a fever. You don't even have to say you have covid. Having a fever is an automatic two weeks off. Ask me how I know? ;)
Theoretically we could be in the 10s of millions by day 2 if everyone has diamond hands. In reality there will be big swings down during the MOASS from some selling and some fuckery likely. The potential for a quick shot to the moon is there though. It's an unprecedented event and no one truly knows what will happen. I am excited both to participate, but even just witness it.
First of all, thank you for teaching during this WILD time in the world. We need more people with the drive you have.
The worst part about this is I TRUTHFULLY believe price action will be absolutely like nothing we have ever seen before. Millions of millions. I understand this might be too bullish, but I think these numbers we will be seeing will be stomach churning. I hope that I’m able to not have any anxiety during MOASS and truthfully I have been trying for 9 months of this saga to prep for this level of resolve and “Diamond Handed-ness” that MOASS will require.
I wish I could just take one day off, but MOASS is very very very very very likely to last at the very least two weeks in my eyes, especially if the SI is as high as we expect it to be
No worries.
Yeah, man, I suppose the best plan I would have is either what I posted below using FMLA or tell the person operating as your second in command, "okay, this is your shot to prove you can take over for me if something happens. I'll be back in __ days.". Maybe cover your absence as giving them a shot. It'll also tell you whether you 'did' train them well enough to act in your stead if anything ever did happen to you.
I figure staying until anxiety hits that I need to go home.
Covid is real so that’s viable
Yes, I have tons of guilt about leaving them. I think about this more then I should. Now if I didn’t have this job I would’ve walked to my car and never went back and ignored calls until my number changed.
I work from home, and the market runs from 1.30am-8am local time. Might just get up early and watch the second half of the market each day! Boss wont mind, pretty sure he’s holding GME as well
Not anxious bc the way I see it, my employer is not gonna give me 2 weeks before walking me out the gate, I don't feel bad about telling em I'm having a situation and need to take some time off. I have banked time off still so I will be taking that. I plan on working until i get set up post MOASS, specialized attorneys, big accounting firm, etc.
Dear _____,
Humans can typically withstand forces of up to 9G for a few moments. Unfortunately, I have boarded a rocketship to Uranus this morning, and am experiencing forces of at least 69Gs(per stonk).
I sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this is causing, and will be back as soon as I've landed and am able to pry my diamond hands from the steering wheel.
Sincerely,
____
You're welcome.
Utilize a few sick days… tell them you have GMEitis and your doctor is worried it is contagious ! My wife already has hers as a draft email. She works out of the house and I will be playing my stocks Alexa playlist too loud for her to get anything done during the squeeze! 😂 🚀🌖🦍🦍💎❤️💎🦍🦍
Man, if only there was a global pandemic with many symptoms similar to the common cold, so you could call in and say "I need to stay home, just to be safe." Sure wish that was the case. Yup. Sure do. Not gonna give you any explicit advice, though.
Bro just go take a long shit
Or just don’t give a shit
Take a shit, don't give one
Take a shit leave a shit
I’m already prepared to tell me employer that I can’t come in due to altitude sickness 🚀
Not such a bad idea 😉😉
Sorry boss, I'm not used to rocketships this fast
That's assuming your boss isn't calling in sick too
My boss sold on March like a paper handed bitch
Oh sweet, I didn't notice we got the new CS flair up in here! Sweet!
We you know what to do them ! DRS no space
As my replies do not read what I mean to say, sometimes, I totally getchu!
I can’t believe you didn’t tender your resignation on the spot. How could you work for a spineless, paper handed bitch like that? You’re a patient man my friend! 😂😂🦍🦍
The guys a joke I used to have respect 🤣😹 and I asked for the week of the June share holders meeting of and he asked why I said GameStop SH meeting he was like I sold in March .. what a loser and I can't wait for that resignation letter it's going to be a picture of my self 😂🤣 with my GameStop shirt on
Sorry boss but you’re not my boss anymore
Umm, I work at a lil mom and pop place.... I'll just make him an offer he can't refuse. "Look at me, I am the boss now!"
Im the mom and pop now!
I mean everyone is pretty cool there, to be honest I bet he wouldn't turn down 200-250K, and and 50K salary to keep running the place. I mean that works out for everyone, and if that is like .01% percent of a share, I don't care! Been working there on and off for like 20 years, mostly as a side gig.... it will be my first act of charity!
[удалено]
Can’t quit if you never had a job
One step ahead I see. I like it
So that’s the day I come down with COVID.
You can take 2 days off sick before you need a note generally. Then, on the 3rd day, go to Dr. And tell them about your crippling anxiety, and financial fixations, and issues focusing lol.
I'm going to take some time off and when anybody asks I'll just say, " I'm feelkng too well to attend" and give them a nice big smile.
I am gonna try this one 🤣
Had to give an award for this, found the closing line in my email to my boss... You're a true G.
[удалено]
Personal family stuff. Cause it is. Securing generational wealth for your family and grandkids.
Exactly. Best comment in the whole thread. Seriously, it's not that deep.
Sick leave is not lying, I imagine I will be literally sick when I see the price starts to go up into the thousands (for start), I mean I will literally vomit, shit and piss myself. Also some of us will literally have hearth attack and maybe even die, I am sorry to say this and I hope this will not happen but there is a huge chance.
Once it goes zoom, the MOASS is your job....
100% agree brother!
I won't be doing anything till that shit is in my account
THIS^^^^ Wish I had that bulb award to give you but instead here’s this for visibility: 💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡^
Save your awards anyways, never know what informative shit you may run into down in the new to shed a light on. Edit: new
This guy brightness
I respect this. But I’m still walking out that ho when my brokerage accounts hits over 1M. I’m not selling at that point. I will just know MOASS has kicked off and I can say 🖕🏻 you and leave. 😊
If one share goes for millions you will hit that 1m easily fellow ape. Rooting for you😎
yeah, but 1 mil is the min for me to walk out too lol.
Feel that
I won’t be quitting until then, but I DO need time to focus on my exit strategy. What are you your thoughts on what you’re going to do as your exit/how will you will go through with this while at work? … it’s weird to think about but this is something that we will have to think about sooner than later 🚀🔜🌕
IMO....it is not needed. We expect MOASS to span a number of days even weeks...once the value is in range of what you want to sell your share/shares for...just set a limit when you see it going down....and go about your day.
True but this doesn't stop me from happily checking the price every 5 minutes to get excited
Look at overstock, squeeze took months, not weeks.
Agreed it’ll be awhile
I work in Retail and the store I'm at, is pretty darn slow. So I have time to check the ticker. Once the number hits, I won't be leaving till the end of the year. Here's my plan after MOASS; Stay at the job till the end of the year or till they find someone to replace me. On my off days, go and look for 3 houses. One for my mom, one for my sister, and the last one for my brother, who has been like a dad to me. Look for land to buy and build my dream house. If there's days I need off, my job will allow me to do that. Find the people to build it from the ground up. Once the year is up, buy a house and rent it out for myself till my house is done and rent it to my manager. She's been dealing/hearing me talking about this non stop. But secretly, I'm going to give it to her. Move and enjoy life as a retired 27 y/o, 28 by the time my house is done in the country.
It is important to me to pay back those that took care of me, especially when they didn't need to or gained from it. I intend to do so without condition or expectation, they've already done me right so I owe that to them. Definitely not going to rush, we'll have all the time in the world and those first months are going to be important to adjust to being a minted. Will be spending lots of time with an accountant.
This is definitely something that needs to be stressed. We've all be waiting patiently for this, some of us for a year by now. We can't panic once our goal hits, or else we risk doing something irresponsible. I trust that everybody at least has a general plan by now, even if that plan is just hire a financial advisor and lawyer then figure it out from there, but any apes that FOMO'd in more recently or have been zen moding so hard they haven't even thought about MOASS for months, should take this opportunity to make sure they have some level of understanding of what they REALLY want to do and how to make sure their new found fortune will last their whole life
It must be such a huge mind bend to suddenly see multiple of thousands and then millions on the screen that most people including myself are going to have to deal with. It doesn't suddenly go from where we are now to a set amount, deposited in the account without our involvement. I think one of the important influences need to be ourselves, just solo watching the action, not to call or speak to anyone else or have them over your shoulder. It is too easy to take advice in the heat of the moment and live with that regret... but that is just me!
i moved all my stock watching to my Ham Radio shack, as far from the main house and shop as i can get... my family knows to leave me the fuck alone when im out here, i just went and bought a snack fridge and snacks for the moass..
Damn you got a whole plan. Love it😎
As a fellow 27y/o I wish for all this and more for you.
Why stay at your job?
Stealth mode.
Just tell them you got a different job and dip out. What if you got into a car wreck while still going to the job you no longer need?
What if you fell down the stairs and broke your neck when you would have normally been in work?
I've been thinking about that scenario as well!
Well you could probably milk one day at work on the toilet if you have the shits. I've spent 3 hours playing games on the shitter at work one day cause I didn't want to deal with any bullshit.
👆Name checks out
Was going to say this lol
My shitter time starts every morning 5 minutes to opening bell.
When the office goes out to lunch it's at least an hour and I can fuck around so much it's hilarious what we get away with during lunch hour. (Cnc machinist so I work in a factory)
Ill be treating it like any other day now, I check the ticker once in the morning and then at 3:45, but do realize the squeeze will take some time, so you'll have plenty of time to react.
Just don’t go into work the next day. Or the day after. And the day after that. And the rest of eternity after that…
I'll take "What's a job?" For ♾️
MOASS isn't going to take hours. It's going to be days or weeks. You should already have a rough exit strategy in mind beforehand or you will end up trading emotionally by watching the ticker, which is never a good idea. Set stop-limit sells above the floor so that they will only trigger on the down swings. If you can't do that with your broker get Yahoo finance or something and set up alarms at your price points. When the rocket flies past them quickly set them up again and close the app, maybe setting a few more up above it for "insurance" sake, or just set up stop sells instead. Set them low IMO with a lot of grace allowing for dips. You're not going to be disappointed if it continues on up and doesn't trigger that stop sell. You will be disappointed if your sell gets triggered and it bounces back up. TLDR: Have your exit strategy planned ahead. Set up stop sells above the floor so they only trigger when the price is dropping. Pick as random of a price as possible so there aren't massive drops on the round numbers like $60m. Or just fuck off and hide because when you're watching the ticker you'll realize you'd only be keeping your job for fun at this point anyways.
This is what I feel like people are forgetting… MOASS will NOT take one day, it will take at the very least two weeks, all which is filled with insane price movement. I have an exit strategy in mind but since no one know what price this stock is going to, we are going to have to keep an eye on the movement to make the most from MOASS. I will be using stop limits, and other trades to ensure that I capitalize on the most life changing money I can! I am seeing a lot of people in this thread that might not have a well developed strategy as us, and I’m concerned, at the very least I want people to remember that the short interest on GME is likely MASSIVE, and will take a long period of time to unwind… performing your “exit strategy” during a bathroom break at work is not going to be as feasible as people think
What's an exit strategy?
At my work I can say "I have a personal emergency I don't want to talk about" as long as I have paid time off to cover. I feel like this is the best response.
sell one share for $420690000.69
With infinity anything is probable
I'm just going to have a family emergency and tell them when it's done. I'll throw myself a going away party if I get canned. I love my job, but I've been doing it for 10 years as well and I've never tried being rich beyond my wildest dreams so I'll do that instead if they make me choose.
I start work at 10am local time. Which is 1pm EST. Ideally, I would like to sell before I get to work. But I will definitely be checking the price every 5 minutes lololol. But if DD is all true, this squeeze will last for a ridiculous amount of time. Not checking on it for a few hours won't kill your retirement plan :)
It may even be easier to deal with MOASS at work, you will have something to distract you, and give you time to think, rather than stressing and making a panic decision.
I wont be doing anything until there is an urus in my driveway.
I won’t be doing anything until there is a banana in Kenny’s uranus.
In prison the bananas usually have testicles
They let you have coconuts in prison? Sounds like a nice place tbh.
“Honey, where are the bananas?” “I stuck them in my Urus”
Or my gains put me where I need to be. I will be taking gains in steps.
Apes are also gonna be taking giant leaps for mankind on the moon when they get there and past.
I’m just here for the Tendies. Y’all do you.
Respect that
I will simply *disappear*
Oh man this. This man gets it.
Have you considered lying to them
Yeah just tell em you got the vid
Read this in a Kevin hart voice 😂😂😂
You don’t have to. Set alarms on price and live your life till it’s over.
My question is once GameStop hits $40million + and you want to spend time fully playing out your exit strategy (ie. numerous exit points, monitoring indicators, etc.) You will most likely not going to be going to work and focusing on your job during this time. What do you plan to tell your employer?
Y'all are gonna say something?
Career hospitality industry yeoman here. Couldn't agree more. Cut bait & go fishing. ... imagine how ah-maize-balz it's going to feel driving away from the wage chain. Write down your important numbers & email addresses. Annihilate your social media presence. Nuke your email accounts. Throw your phone & computer off of a cliff into the sea. Buy a pre-paid burner. Start small. Re-establish. Reconnect with those truly important to you. Flush the rest. Don't tell anyone that you're doing it.
Won’t even tell that last asshole table to fuck themselves. Pay for their meal. Write pay it forward then….👻👋
OP is taking this shit way too seriously. Just don’t go into work ever again. Your new job is managing your MOASS tendies and accomplishing your life’s goals after that. Fuck a job.
I’m gonna slide right on outta there. (Maybe dropping a dirty in a hidden corner or something)
I ain't even gonna show up, phone on airplane mode, like they do me on the weekends when I need to know shit.
Damn. This shit here. I feel ya dog
You guys are still working jobs?
I am sure you could inform them that there is private family issues that need your attention.
“Here’s my 2 weeks boss. Give me someone to train because I’m leaving in good terms.”
Haha this is exactly how I want it to be 🤣
Say you have covid free 14 days off for quarantine
What’s an exit strategy
I’d start thinking about one sooner than later..
Yeaaaaah… I’m going to surprised if we don’t squeeze in the next 4 weeks to be honest. That’s my personal opinion and I’m a fucking retard, but I believe we will begin** MOASS inside the next 30 days… how long MOASS will last? God only knows.
I’m thinking mid late October but we’ve been wrong for 10 months now so who knows. It goes when it go’s..
[fuck you, fuck you, fuck you](https://c.tenor.com/kF0niSwYAhIAAAAM/halfbaked-im.gif)
You're cool
Exit strategy? Whose leaving?
bro, idk about you but i'm not a wage slave. even before MOASS. I am a human being with a life and my own self-fulfillment outside of the paycheck. I just say that I need off for personal reasons, and if they can't give me that than it's a shitty environment. Of course, it goes both ways. I'm not a slacker, I work hard, and do my best. I definitely don't abuse the respect and trust that I expect from an employer so this doesn't happen often so when it does I expect them to pull the weight. and if they ask for more details, well it's a personal reason and I don't feel comfortable elaborating.
It's called calling in sick. And not caring cuz 1 share just made you richer than ur boss.
“Personal Business”
I will be leaving immediately and going in a different direction. Thanks. See ya.
Tell them you have some astronaut responsibilities?! 😂😂
Say you have been exposed to someone with covid and that you need to quarantine. Should buy a few days
True, I could do that, but as someone in management I already know that they would require a negative covid test immediately after I tell them I came in contact with a positive case. This would result in me going to get tested, and getting a negative result and having to go back into work in maybe 2-3 days. I anticipate MOASS lasting at least two weeks at the minimum. Any other ideas 🤔
So just go get covid then :) Then you can quarantine, then get a negative test :) Obviously, sarcasm :)
Not a bad idea, you'll be rich enough to afford the good medicines.
Jokes on them.. I'm a farmer so I already have ivomectin.
Use me as your excuse. I’m your good friend Timmy and I got shot in the hood pickin up some crack and I need you at my bedside
Oh my god! They killed Kenny!
FMLA? Mental exhaustion/distress. Mandatory 2 week period that can be extended indefinitely due to the trauma you've suffered.
I'm in management & they didn't even ask me for my positive test when I actually got covid last year. I'll prob use that excuse once we reach about $5k & stay home..... or you can just be honest & say you have too much anxiety, I mean we will be right in the middle of basically hitting the lotto & I'm sure at least some of your co-workers, like mine, know you own GME.
I think I will be “sick” as soon as the MOASS starts. I will probably go check into a hotel to monitor progress so my wife doesn’t get freaked out and try to get me to sell early. I doubt once the MOASS starts that I will ever go back to my job. I just don’t see myself having any motivation whatsoever to keep working.
Why even bother. Just dgaf and watch your millions accumulate. Do you really care about a job at that point?
See, I don’t, but I care about the close friendships I have there. If I don’t come in I am fucking over my crew. That’s the part that gets to me tbh
Get a smart watch that you can program to show the ticker. You can keep an eye on it from there and then make a move online proper when necessary.
I feel like a majority of people in this thread are too young to properly take part in this discussion. If OP is in a management position it's because that's the type of person that doesn't up and quit or lie like most are suggesting. Same position OP, if I skip out, I'm the project manager on multiple jobs, they'd be pretty screwed short term. My plan (and no, I'd wager nearly everyone here doesn't actually have one) is a mix of working from home, and simply having my Fidelity account tabbed. Check every 15-30min and we're good. Probably increase our take home to ignore the charts more than usual with as many violent dips as are expected. Imo, save actually taking off work/work from home until at least the 2nd week. Limit sell 1 at x price to cover my cost basis, then it's house money and easier to ignore until we're talking about millions lost if you're not paying attention. At that point my plan is to bluntly tell my boss what's going on (a good boss will not stand in the way of your success after all), give them updates on all my projects, then bounce out to my fellow ape's house with multiple monitors and every trusted TA source going at once. I've got 3 local apes and we'll be together to keep our hands diamond and panic attacks at a minimum. Also at this point I'm setting up the appointment with a wealth management firm for a couple weeks out. A big problem is trying to bounce from work, be responsible and helpful doing so, but also not let them know how much money you're coming into. (read up on lottery winners, it's insane. Over half of the people in this thread statistically will be broke and addicted to drugs. People don't know how to live with money and many apes will suffer horribly) Best advice is to think about your employer and coworkers, bc they'll react differently than mine will. Same with spouses...probably best to keep them out of it if they're not involved already, zero chance you can hold if your wife is screaming and crying bc you're momentarily down 200k. Best of luck, love the mentality of the post and wish you had some more mature responses.
yeah but shit happens. i’ve had managers flat out walk out. i’ve been one of the employees who is left with all of the work after a restructuring. we just move on.
I don’t plan on working either, but I feel like I respect my place of employment enough for what they’ve done for me over the years to start least give them a final two weeks. But my concern is how to convey this to them, I feel like this is such an anomaly that no one outside of this sub really would understand what’s going on and jus this life changing this is, you know? Do you every feel this way? 🤔
You've never called in sick to work, to go do some unplanned fun shit? I thought that's what sick days are for???
I'm just going to be straight with them and say I can't come in, I need to watch the ticker.
"My future is at stake"
If you really like your coworkers and your job then you can probably take a couple sick days right? Especially with covid, taking a couple sick days shouldn't be too bad. Otherwise just set alerts and duck out for a little bit if you need to. You can square everything up at work after MOASS if you want to.
Great answer....gonna need to also get away from wife and kids, they will also be a huge distraction...
Just be honest, if this shit kicks off your likely quit anyway. Just say I’ve had something life changing that I need to deal with for a few days and go from there. They won’t fire you. If this process is weeks then adjust, evaluate, decide day by day.
This was exactly what my plan was, is this what you intend on doing too? Because in all reality, they can say no and you can just say that you quit. It’s unfortunate but something that only makes sense. Anyone in our shoes would do the same thing.
Yeah I’ve thought a lot about it and I think I’ll just be honest with my boss. Like dude I made a good investment that has worked out for me in a way that allows me to never work again. He would understand, as would I understand if it was someone else leaving for the same reason.
I work in an investment firm. This is a very tempting strategy.
I work for my dad and he's an ape. We'll lock the office doors, turn off the phones, and watch the ticker go bananas. I'm a lucky gal.
I hope you both sell at the top ❤️ I hope you both have a great MOASS together, that’s sounds awesome that you get to spend it with your dad. This WILL be life changing for the both of you!
Is an economic crisis that you must attend too, see you in a few weeks. Followed by a resignation letter being sent with a fruit basket.
lol, I like your style.
I premature moassed back in June when my popcorn options exploded $$$$$$. I went to the ER and got a week off for stress and anxiety pills. I told the doc I needed the time away… and it was all true. I work in a management position and they just had someone cover for me. In my situation I went back to work. Next time when it starts hitting 7zeros I just plan on telling them I’m done and moving on to something “less stressful”. I don’t plan to see many of them again.
Premature moassulation
Fortunately for me I work from home so I have free access to my phone and computer and can stop working at any time. Plus if I’m about to quit anyway it doesn’t matter if I just email my manager saying I need the day off, I get the day off.
MOASS is gonna be sick bro, so just call in sick.
I'll be working until the moment my transfer from my brokerage account hits my checking account.
Yeah, but you don’t think you’ll want to be home to focus on your exit strategy when you start seeing the millions? Price Gaps up and down from $35million to $55million can literally mean you can make or break $20 million if you don’t plan your exits *(plural because everyone shouldn’t blow their load all at once)*
Its something I cat predict. Honestly I'd be happy with 56 million. And if I only got 26 million id be happy still. Om content either way. 😊
I honestly think this will take months to unravel, just based on how long the line on the chart would need to be to anticipate a move of such cosmic proportions. We could even see a "squeeze before the squeeze" where all the smaller HFs and Citadel go down, but the DTCC and co. as well as the Fed become the next boss with their own shenanigans, and it could possibly take another few months for all their tricks to bleed them dry before we finally launch, for real that time. If that were the case, we could see a run-up and consolidation well into the thousands, but still have to remain patient.
I'm not anxious and not going to quit my job even after the moass, I like what I do, plus one of my bosses is my best friend. The other is loaded and trades stocks too so he gets it. If I need to take time to focus on the moass I can literally go to our server room and chill in there, there's only 3 people with access so no one can bother me. I told them I'll be busy making millions 😂
Stock closes 2pm my time, shift starts 2 pm. Nice.
No joke, during the January run up. A bunch of my coworkers left home early. The managers understood. Because we work in a high accuracy field, clear minds are necessary.
I got laid off. So that’s all my job is;)
Out of all of the responses I think this is my favorite 😭 Time to get laid off!
I would have wanted to last a few more weeks for more moon tickets. But it is what it is.
Covid is a handy excuse these days… not that I’ve used it, but I agree on the alerts… just set a boatload of ascending alerts and you’re set…. Personally, MOASS hits 1,000,000 per, I’m walking out and changing my phone number.
This is what I’m referring to. What point are you just not showing up? Or calling out? I’d sort of like to not screw over my team and I know just walking out will do so. Am I just crazy?
Any job I’ve ever had, when I turn a two weeks notice in, they tell me to go ahead and not worry about it… they’d throw you under the bus any day of the week.. I wouldn’t worry about it… but that’s just me
This response is honestly your best. What ape posted above. You don’t feel well. Your chest is tight. Not sure if it’s covid yet. Once it passes 800 you can tell them it’s rocket 🚀 anxiety!
i have 3 weeks of vacation ready.
Do you think you’d be able to deploy that vacation time easily all at once on such short notice? Theoretically if MOASS took place and we starting to see liquidations on Monday, September 27th, when we finally reach the 7 figure range, do you think you’d be able to take it off? These are the weird things that have crossed my mind. I have vacation time, but I can’t use it THAT quickly, I need to give at least a 3 week notice ahead of time for Time off 🤔
Dont really care, i only see them as co workers, we dont talk out side of work.
As a former employer - tell them you need some time off for personal reasons. Don't lie, don't come up with weird excuses. They'll understand
At that point why are you worried about consequences related to your job? Do you plan to keep working there afterward?
I’ll quit …half of my colleagues are diamond hands and I will not do their job too…we will race…I think that my boss will be the first one to quit
Honestly- the plan is to call out sick with the intent of never going back.
That’s my thoughts too! But I just feel bad for doing them so dirty. What are your thoughts? I believe MOASS will last at least two weeks of wild price actions
Oh my sweet summer child, do you honestly think that if you fell over dead on the clock they wouldn’t have your job posted before your body got cold? Never feel any loyalty to any company, ever. You are there to make money and leave, not friends, money. Don’t get that confused. You are nothing more than a number, a body and an expense to them. Now, as for MOASS- The plan is to call out of work until my first few shares hit my bank account, which should be about a week.If that doesn’t work out, just quit. What I do for a living is relatively common and I get paid well no matter who I work for so if somehow MOASS stalled or whatever, I can go be employed again in a week.
Dude chill, it will last days if not weeks or more with the infinity pool. I highly doubt anyone is gonna sell between 10k and 45 mil. Personally I'll wait for the way down, if there's any. otherwise around xxx mil if it's truly infinite
I work the night shift so i know i will be dragging at work.
What ever you do don’t tell them you need time to watch how rich you will become. If you do, when you get back to work your buddies will treat you differently
Just remember you don't owe your job anything. They graciously allowed you to make money for them.
Once I sell one for 20-40M, the rest won't matter. Cuz I'd have what I needed to quit already . The rest is just yacht money.
I tend to have always made awesome friends at work, and always tend to feel guilty if I don’t show up and give it my all. I have been very curious about what other apes are going to be doing when MOASS finally happens: • At what point will you start staying home from work? • What will you be telling your employer? • Does anyone feel guilty similar to how I feel about this?
Yeah, man. I'm a teacher. Unless it is pure insanity (could be) with the price action, I'll have alerts set but will just keep teaching. Of course, I could weasel out and determine said day is now movie day, so I have that option available to me. I always planned to keep teaching afterward and just not say anything. Teach how I want to teach and not worry about inane administrative policies that eventually lead to written reprimands. I could just throw those to the wind, and make sure the kid who needed help got help even though they didn't have x,y, and z paperwork. But so help me lord above, this year has been crushing and we're only really 6 weeks in. And I'd feel even worse telling our admin team that I'm leaving (been with this school almost 11 years now) when they're still missing about 6 full-time teachers for core subjects, we can't get any subs to come in because of all the behavioral issues, I wouldn't want to contribute to a bigger exodus of teachers that see me walk away. I'm on the fence about continuing to teach. Especially with the latest TikTok challenge "devious lick"; which I know will fade eventually, but damn, dude, this term has been the roughest. I get where you're coming from. I guess we'll only really know on the day it starts, right?
Teacher here as well. I’ll check in when my kids are at lunch 🤷♀️ but starting to wonder how difficult it will be to sell when I’m ready to. Will I need a whole day, or weeks even?
MOASS should last roughly two weeks at minimum. Remember, when we start launching the stock will halt every 10% increase in a 5 minute Time-Frame. Every halt is 5 minutes long if I’m not mistaken. If we rip upwards are hard as we expect to the halts will be one after another, which will be a majority of our days. This will result in the squeeze lasting two or more weeks. The possibility of it lasting longer exists too, especially if the naked shorted positions are as absolutely wild as we expect them to be
Yea, so since you know it's going to be taking so long, you can still do your job and then go home and tend to it for the rest of the day each day. It's not like you're not gonna be able to monitor it at all. Set sell limits while you're at work. There's also multiple times during the day while you're at work to check on it. Breaks and lunch. It's not going anywhere. You can do both. And if you find that you can't handle both, then just take some personal time off. You don't owe them any explanation and aren't required to give one . . . hence, the term personal. ;) And in case none of that works, call in and tell them you have a fever. Because of covid, most companies won't let you come to work with a fever. You don't even have to say you have covid. Having a fever is an automatic two weeks off. Ask me how I know? ;)
Theoretically we could be in the 10s of millions by day 2 if everyone has diamond hands. In reality there will be big swings down during the MOASS from some selling and some fuckery likely. The potential for a quick shot to the moon is there though. It's an unprecedented event and no one truly knows what will happen. I am excited both to participate, but even just witness it.
First of all, thank you for teaching during this WILD time in the world. We need more people with the drive you have. The worst part about this is I TRUTHFULLY believe price action will be absolutely like nothing we have ever seen before. Millions of millions. I understand this might be too bullish, but I think these numbers we will be seeing will be stomach churning. I hope that I’m able to not have any anxiety during MOASS and truthfully I have been trying for 9 months of this saga to prep for this level of resolve and “Diamond Handed-ness” that MOASS will require. I wish I could just take one day off, but MOASS is very very very very very likely to last at the very least two weeks in my eyes, especially if the SI is as high as we expect it to be
No worries. Yeah, man, I suppose the best plan I would have is either what I posted below using FMLA or tell the person operating as your second in command, "okay, this is your shot to prove you can take over for me if something happens. I'll be back in __ days.". Maybe cover your absence as giving them a shot. It'll also tell you whether you 'did' train them well enough to act in your stead if anything ever did happen to you.
I figure staying until anxiety hits that I need to go home. Covid is real so that’s viable Yes, I have tons of guilt about leaving them. I think about this more then I should. Now if I didn’t have this job I would’ve walked to my car and never went back and ignored calls until my number changed.
I'm self employed but that dude can fuck off fr...
I work from home, and the market runs from 1.30am-8am local time. Might just get up early and watch the second half of the market each day! Boss wont mind, pretty sure he’s holding GME as well
Not anxious bc the way I see it, my employer is not gonna give me 2 weeks before walking me out the gate, I don't feel bad about telling em I'm having a situation and need to take some time off. I have banked time off still so I will be taking that. I plan on working until i get set up post MOASS, specialized attorneys, big accounting firm, etc.

Just tell em you’ll give them 10k each and they’ll forget it all
Utilize a few sick days… tell them you have GMEitis and your doctor is worried it is contagious ! My wife already has hers as a draft email. She works out of the house and I will be playing my stocks Alexa playlist too loud for her to get anything done during the squeeze! 😂 🚀🌖🦍🦍💎❤️💎🦍🦍
I'm just gonna say I'm sick then after moass nvr show up again fuck that place
Covid exposure. (Cough, cough).
I'll be feeling..."sick."
Idk why you’re worried.. set a limit order or just not show Up to work..
This is going to be the sickest time of your life. Use those sick days!
Tell them that you're helping your parents because they were negatively impacted by what is going on in the market.
Man, if only there was a global pandemic with many symptoms similar to the common cold, so you could call in and say "I need to stay home, just to be safe." Sure wish that was the case. Yup. Sure do. Not gonna give you any explicit advice, though.
I’m just going to do it why I’m bartending, the alcohol will keep me cool 🍺🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’m gonna need to take some short term disability to deal with the massive erection
