A H1B colleague’s father in India was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and is on chemo. He is concerned about when he should go visit because to return from India on an H1B he has to get his passport stamped and he hears there are long waiting lists to do that because government offices are still sporadically open due to COVID. And he is further concerned that if he gets stuck in India for a prolonged time, he would violate Firm policies about how long he can work outside his home office. Thoughts?

I’ve made it 5+ years in a NY M&A practice and have consistent exceeding expectations reviews. I’ve had a few mental breakdowns because of work during this time, but thankfully made it through. I’ve been in a near constant depressive/anxious state for family reasons for the last year and half, and am soon having my first kid. I’m scared shitless that I’ll spiral out of control both at work and at home if something doesn’t change soon. Any suggestions on how to keep this job and keep it together?

I work with a classroom of Middle School ED students. One student, who I worked with the year before, has changed alot over the year. Last year (pre COVID), she had a good head on her shoulders and I thought I had good rapor with her. But over that period of isolation, she tried to commit suicide.
