A guy that I’ve been seeing over the past few months just lost his job - what can I do to support him? Not his SO and we are quarantining with our respective families on opposite coasts, but I like him a lot and want to show that I care without being overbearing/overstepping boundaries. BTW he’s also a consultant and got let go after reviews due to performance reasons and his firm not doing so well.

How can I approach my boyfriend who has an alcohol problem to help him get healthier ?

This is the only bowl I can think to post in, but I'm really feeling it today. Has anyone lost their best friend (i.e. through time/growing up) and feel like none of their current friends could live up to the fun/connection you used to have with your high school BFF? I feel like I put too much focus on that one friend and also my boyfriend and just never actually made time for anyone else. I fucked myself over.

Family luddites ask about my work and immediately behave annoyed when I start to answer.

How many of you feel it’s important to marry a Brahmin?

Hi. I teach EBD kids in WA at a day treatment program. Looking forward to connecting with everyone

Brought my gf sushi take out to her house when she got off of work. She didn't like the meal I got her and started to eat the roll i got for myself. She noticed I wasn't eating so I told her I ate before rather than tell her she was actually eating my dinner. She's now mad at me that I "lied" even though I did it so she wouldn't be embarrassed. Who's in the wrong

Well, I was the one who broke it off. I couldn’t get him to love me the way I needed or even respect me enough. It’s been 6 weeks of not seeing each other. We messaged this week. He doesn’t get it…. His messages show he still doesn’t know what he wants. Yet, if I am totally honest, I hate how part of me wishes he would do a grand gesture/finally decide to be a better man. It’s delusional. It’s crazy how love can be so rosy, sweet & blinding that the red flags seem surmountable.

A friend literally asked me if I could help her with her divorce. I was like, I'm a tax lawyer who bills 2700 hours, so, no, not even emotionally

Confession Friday!!: Tell us something your girlfriend/boyfriend/partner doesn’t know you did/said/think. 🟢🟢🟢

Does anyone here work for Axiom or know someone who does and, if so, how difficult is it to stay fully engaged?

Haven't been sleeping well. It's 3am & I'm wide awake. I know it's anxiety. Any advise? Been worried about work, interviewing for jobs, and trying to focus on family. Things actually seem good, but...

Coming out at work by bringing my girlfriend (serious) to our firm outing!!! Nervous but ready to be happy and open!

Just started Succession. Does the world of advertising have a family similar to the Roys?

My wife texts me that my 15 month old constantly says "da-da" and walks to my office to see if him home and then looks sad when I'm not there. I don't think I can take this emotional torture. 😢

I tried to break up with my SO and instead they talked their way out of it for an hour and we're now on a "break" that involves the same amount of contact as before so not really sure what i accomplished

Hi guys

This question may not be related. However I wanted to know from personal and family point of view how it is like to relocate from India and live abroad .
Let's say Family consists of husband , wife and a kid . I understand we will get good facilities, education, cleanliness , good air etc , however I wanted to check whether people gel up easily in the new environment? Don't they feel loneliness/ difficult to adjust? Do they look for similar asian nationalities to kill boredom?

Anyone has an alternative to an Au Pair. Wife and I were looking forward to host an au pair but can’t go through the official program since we are not permanent residents yet. Anyone has an alternative besides traditional daycare? Maybe a friend of a friend? I am in NJ. Any ideas welcomed and needed!

My bf has asked me to help him quit the ecigs and told me he’ll probably hide them from me but he wants me to take them. So I have for the past week. He really only keeps them in his pocket, 1 drawer

So my brother doesn't talk to me for 6 months.   (I had offered my lake house guest space to my cousin who said yes instead of my brother who didn't know if he could come nor when he might know if he could come, how unfair of me).

On Thanksgiving day mom arrives and tells me that brother might come by in an hour.  He had ignored my invite weeks ago.  (Uh ok, sure).

Any other lonely social workers in here? I mean a lot to some of the people on my caseload but that's about it. Don't have any family near me and it's hard to make friends with non-SW's mostly just because I'm too tired after work to want to do much. Do you spend most of your time alone or is your social time self care for you? Just feel like I don't have a support system!

Can anyone help me with a referral at Google for a TPM role.🙏

What are your opinions on getting too much work in early phase of career? I have almost one year of experience and after switching to a new organisation I have like alot of work in my plate.

Anyone have advice on a home fitness gym? Have a spare room 12x11 that I’m thinking of putting a power rack and rower in.

Does anyone else struggle networking with seniors? I really hate the superficial work talks and I find it super hard to find common ground with some of these people

Is anyone holding didi shares? I’m trying to figure out what happens. If they delist, then list in HK, are shares converted? If I want to sell, how would that work? Do I need to open a HK bank account? Are there unique tax implications? Etc etc.

Hi fishes,
Need 11 likes to activate DM.

Hi Fishes,
After one year of internship in Intel, what CTC can I expect if I try to switch to other companies (Qualcomm,Nvidia......etc.)

For those of you with government contracts, Whats your thought on political giving in this cycle given the heightened scrutiny?

Has anyone left from one advisory group to the equivalent at a different big4? Wondering if the firm will let me go immediately once I give notice ?

Is there a moment when the world realizes this is a form of “population” control? There is no solution - we must live life and unfortunately let the statistic move forward. Isn’t that just history?

Resume advice needed. I have less than 10 years of work experience.Should my resume be one page based on my experience or two pages?Some people have told me one page is good others have said two pages

I have recovered from Corona Virus. Its 6 weeks now and I can tell you that the after effects are real. I have anxiety that I will never get over the fatigue, brain fog, inability to form sentences and words and headaches which make my work days very difficult to get thru.

Corporate environment makes you forget your true self. Think back to who you were before you started. Throwing success out of the equation, would your old self like what they see?

I use SoFi to consolidate and pay off my mostly private student loans. I’m gonna call to confirm later, but what happens if I’m 2 weeks late on making a payment?

If you go for interview and you sort of know that the person interviewing you might be curious about something on your negative on your resume like why is there a gap or why were you in XX role for so long?

Do you address it pre-emptively? Or does that show insecurity and you leave the elephant in the room and wait till they ask you?

I guess this is more in the case of networking than interview like do you make your own story?

Looking for inspiration from real people versus youtubers..

Post a picture of your home office. Starting my first WFH job and I'm looking for ideas! Top accessories? 13x13 guest room is the desired location. TIA 😊

I miss driving.

I am full time salaried employee and work M-F. I have always worked more than one job and am hating not having the opportunity to work over time when extra money is needed. Any suggestions for part time work for an informatics nurse? Something I can do in evenings and/or weekends? Not direct patient care preferably

Please help suggest good standing desk brand!!

Is anyone else unfollowing all “influencers” on Instagram? I’m finding their posts to be so out of touch with what’s happening across the global to people’s lives (both health-wise and economy-wise.) They’re still trying to push a more is better mindset. I get that’s part of their business model, but I just can’t take it anymore.

Approaching 30 now and living with roommates in NYC, but considering moving to my own place. Has anyone found that living with roommates is better than living alone? Conventional wisdom says no.

I’m a pretty outgoing person and i like to have people around. I also like my roommates cause we chill. So I’m really scared of moving in alone and being lonely. Increase in rent will be marginal and totally affordable.

Is it normal to not be motivated at all and feel “brain dead” all the time? Just started with new company a month ago and I don’t have a spark. I didn’t on day 1 and 4 weeks later I am still bleh. Is that a sign?

Any non-fiction book recommendations? I normally don’t like NF but recently read Bad Blood by John Carreyrou and loved the style/pace. Any similar recs?

Since moving back in with my parents, I’ve noticed their internet cannot handle three people working from home. Does anyone have experience relying on a mifi full time? I know the biggest downside is the data limit, but would I be able to get a plan that would suffice for my 16 hour-long busy season days? Help me, I’m a newb :)

How do you address someone who seems condescending? We’ve never met in person, and they’re slightly more senior, on a parallel team. (Not at TBWA)
