A colleague just "shamed me" about the size of my engagement ring. My fiance is a wonderful, hardworking guy who bought me a beautiful ring. I'd take a great guy over a large ring any day.

"I'd take a great guy over a large ring any day". Those are wise words. Your coworker's approval is inconsequential. She/he is likely jelly. Congrats!

And congrats on the engagement!! You're about to embark on what will likely be the best period of your life :-)

Thanks! Yeah, super excited! To be honest, I had no desire to have a ring worth $20k plus. I really don't get the logic behind it. Quite content with what I have.

30th birthday present watch accessory ideas.

A lot of knowledge on here so asking for some help. It’s my partner’s birthday and I’ve no idea what to buy him. He’s a watch fanatic - Pateks (sports and dress), Audemars (sports and dress), Rolex (sports), Omega (sports).

I’m obviously not buying him a watch for his birthday (in his dreams!) but any idea for some good accessories? He’s already got a PP watch winder, and has bought multiple nice straps for the dress watches. I’m completely lost.

I have been working remotely since covid getting nothing but positive reviews. My company is not remote friendly and is now telling me I have to return to the office or I lose my job. I just found out a co-worker had a remote position created for them, without a job posting, without an interview and without the experience required (normally a license or certification would be mandatory). I understand life isn’t fair but is there an ethical problem with this?
