I hooked up with a junior working on my file a while ago. Junior has since left the firm for unrelated reasons. No repercussions from either side. Attraction was obvious and harmless flirting started to become regular. Out for drinks one day and it was obvious where things were trending.

Hooked up with a someone senior to me, but we weren’t on the same projects. Still awkward when it ended because we see each other randomly and it throws one another off. Totally worth the fun while it was had. C’est la vie.

Hooked up with a former intern. I waited until she was not an intern anymore and nowhere near my sphere of responsibility.

Old manager was hooking up with her boss for years. I’m sure it was normal between them, but since it was almost common knowledge it did make me slightly uncomfortable. Did also make me lose a wee bit of respect for her and how she got to her position.

There are less messy ways to get fired.

Just got let go and my manager said part of it was because I was looking for other jobs. I didn't look for other jobs at work, so I'm not sure how they could have known that unless a coworker snitched on me. Is it worth it to try and find out who or should I just leave it? Can't deny that I'm seriously pissed off about it.

Hi friends,

People in my team they don't come with me for breaks. (They blame the timings are different since they sit in crits but i don't think so because they have their own group of friends to go with)

Secondly, when my team members see me in cafeteria we expect they'll sit with us but people here are being rude they directly go and sit with their friends they don't call you to join. ( atleast they could have said they are accompanied)

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

Is anyone concerned the push for sexual equality in pay without accordant leveling of parental leave is gonna backfire?

Here’s a hypothetical:

A company has 2 candidates, aged 25-30, equal in every respect save one’s a man the other’s a woman. Maybe the woman is a slightly better candidate overall. They’d have equal comp.

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷
