If you don’t have anyone’s back at work, don’t expect them to have yours when you need it. Not wise to ostracize yourself from coworkers. Most people don’t get anywhere if they act like that. Plus the firms a family. If you don’t like the family get out lol

This is what I do. If someone is trying to get too chummy at work, I'm like, dude we're friends, right? Like u my beastie, right, like I wld do anything for you. Anything. So, I need u to do something for me. [Reach for suspicious brown paper bag, scrunched closed] can you hang on to this for a few days for me? Don't tell anyone you have it and do not open it. OK. Do not lose it and guard it w your life, OK?

[Bag should either have a lot of white powders bagged convingly, I like a blend of confectioners sugar, tapioca flower and baking soda myself -- or a totally disassembled pistol, pref with no serial number]

People will leave u the f alone.

I think it depends. If I like someone that's that. I'm not gonna draw arbitrary lines in the sand about who my friends should be.

With that said I'm more than okay with 99% of coworkers not being friends, but occasionally I'll hit it off with someone.

Hi, I have my final round of interview in analytics team this week. Can you please share your experience on the same?

I want to be a STEM coach/ facilitator/coordinator/teacher. I am working on my second masters, this one in elementary education science specialist. I have applied for two postulations in my district- and nothing. If a para can have 3 years to get her teaching degree, what can’t I have 18 months to get my masters? (I feel like that is the hold up, but have received no feedback from anyone).

I recently ended a 5 year relationship to someone I thought I was going to marry and everyday I worry I made the wrong decision. At the end of the day though our values weren’t in alignment - he became very conservative over the years (or more open about his perspectives on it).. such that he thought being gay is something not to be discussed/ encouraged, abortion should be illegal etc. And just felt an inconsistency with his level of compassion/empathy that was confusing bc it felt hot and cold
