My dad forgot my birthday too. It’s not unusual for him to be a little late with a card, but I heard nothing this year. I talked to him a couple of weeks later and he apologized for missing my birthday. He said he had bought a card for me, but misplaced it. He said he would send it anyway. Haven’t received it.

My dad is no more, so he can’t ever wish me anymore. Forgetting for a few days isn’t the worst part.

I understand - still, better than being dead.

That’s too bad but at least he didn’t do something horrible and ruin it

True!

Did you call him on Father’s Day?

Thing with my dad is he doesn’t answer when I call but only calls me when he wants something.

I'm a good dad, but this will probably be me. I suck at calendar dates.

My father never remembered my birth day, I was never wished once. He frequently asks me how old I am. Get over it.

I would like some advice here. I currently work as an HRBP for a large company and have been with this company for over 2 years. The current company culture is not great, and I’ve been looking for outside opportunities.

Would it be incredibly stupid to start a new HR job at a company currently going through an acquisition?

Accenture Hello, this past December I applied to a Devops role at Accenture. I didn’t get the position but I looked on their website and noticed they have an software engineer apprenticeship.

I really think I would be a good fit for the apprenticeship. What can anyone recommend? Can I possibly get a referral.

Do you think all these violent and hate filled attacks are because people aren't getting the emotional/mental support they need, whether it's therapy at any age or help they needed but didn't get from a social worker as a child? My coworker is sure this is the case, but I honestly think there's actually something deeper wrong either with how these people are being raised as children, or how the warning signs these people give off are ignored or swept under the rug to save face.

I don’t want to stop living a double life. I’m a 29yo bi guy living in a liberal city and I’ve dated a guy(29m) for 5 years.

I love them and I love my bf, and I want to keep both aspects of my life as they are today. My bf wants to meet my parents but I really don’t want to bring that drama into my life
