scope of authority

Read a random definition: deductible business expense

A quick definition of scope of authority:

Scope of Authority: The amount of power that someone has been given to do a job for someone else. This power can be limited or expanded depending on what the person needs to do for the other person. It's important to know what your scope of authority is so that you don't do something you're not supposed to do.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The range of reasonable power that an agent has been delegated or might foreseeably be delegated in carrying out the principal's business.

For example, if a company hires a salesperson to sell their products, the scope of authority for that salesperson would include negotiating prices, closing deals, and providing customer service. However, the salesperson would not have the authority to make major decisions about the company's finances or operations.

Another example would be a property manager who is hired by a landlord to manage their rental properties. The scope of authority for the property manager would include collecting rent, handling maintenance requests, and screening potential tenants. However, the property manager would not have the authority to sell the properties or make major renovations without the landlord's approval.

These examples illustrate how the scope of authority is limited to the specific tasks and responsibilities that the agent has been delegated or might foreseeably be delegated in carrying out the principal's business. It is important for both the principal and the agent to understand the scope of authority to avoid any misunderstandings or legal issues.

I have been on the receiving/hurt end thinking it was exclusive when I was just her human dildo and it makes you feel bad.

The whole having a group of hot chick friends you can flirt with while going out is great. Makes for a fun and safer environment when drinking.

I love my hot chick friends. Don't know where I would be without them

Crazy story, I had dinner with the dad of a friend of mine and he just openly went on Tinder in front of me and the other guys. Later my mom ran into him with another woman (not his wife/friend's mom) and he got very uncomfortable and never texted her again
15:15
I can't imagine what it's like being a cheater or like a serial dater. Shit seems so nervewracking

My wife and I have great and open communication but one night she kept asking me why this girl is blowing up my phone with messages/pictures so I showed her... she got a new puppy and got drunk so had her puppy doing a fashion shoot at 11pm.

I keep my dating very clean and above board. No overlaps, no ambiguities. If you want to go into some sort of public office in the future it's good to be smart about things like that
babycat

So many politicians have sex scandals and that's how they get blackmailed and other people have power over them. I mean of course there are ethical and emotional issues too but it's literally just smart to not be a cheater

I would never go into public office as it drags in your family as well. Dating is so much easier then some people make it out to be and it is not that hard to not cheat. I would always tell my soldiers to rub one out before making a big decision so they arent acting dumb
