Hey there OP. I don't live in Chicago anymore but I did for several years (couldn't take the cold anymore so moved to the East Coast). There actually is a Chicago bowl as well here on fishbowl that can be a good place to connect with others in the area.

Practice has been growing rapidly but I’ve been in a rut as a few projects went on ice due to COVID, and have been swinging and missing on BD. In parallel, my Practice Leader has been crazy busy because of said growth and has missed last few check-ins with me. He’s also my main PPMD sponsor. So am feeling demotivated and a little unloved. Trying not to take it personally, but any tips on how I can get out of this rut?

To peeps who work for Elon Musk - what's the WFH situation? My boyfriend is interviewing for a job in Elon's company. He was told the role was on-site only. We're not sure we want to move right now and the comp is not really worth moving but the role itself is appealing to him. Do you think it's worth going through interviews and trying to negotiate working from home?

Need advice. Leadership originally referred to us as Specialists. For the past month or so, they've been telling us we're Project Managers in absolutely no uncertain terms.

But they have told us flat-out (even when asked directly) that we won't get a salary change or even just a title change. What should we do? It seems unethical at the very least.

Looking for insights from any seller at any of the hold co’s. I have an opportunity to join a new team at a hold co but I’m not sure if it will be a great move to make. I’m doing very well where I am, book of biz is thriving, but the allure of working at a larger company than my small company seems like a great resume builder. I’m not sure where I want to be in 5 years, but this seems like a good way to make myself more appealing. I’ll have to rebuild my book of biz, which means pay cut.

We're about to start planning our wedding. I have a huge family and friend group (100+) that I want to invite and she has a very small family and group of friends (>50). We haven't talked about this yet, but I wanted to get some opinions on this before hand. Should I reduce the be l number of people I want to invite to match hers? Is it unfair to her that I'll have a significant majority at the wedding?

I use gantt charts to plan activities & deliverables, kanban boards to mamge them. My weapons of choice:
- MS Project (Smartsheet not as strong on core gantt features/functions but superior for sharing + all it's customization, abilities, is etc.)

- Trello for Kanban (labeling, filtering, robust add-ons, finally on enterprise task-level assignmemts). Sadly, Smartsheet kanban is weak.

Is there an integrated package that does both gantt & kanban that approaches these point solutions?

4+ months sober. I do zoom AA every day but this was the first time I shared as a newcomer. I have some phone numbers from the group and hoping to get a sponsor soon. I plan to be sober 1 year before I can think of doing the steps. I read Living Sober and The Big Book every day in addition to prayer and mindful meditation. But would love to chat with someone “telephone therapy” can be something like Discord or WhatsApp.

Been running on self-will for the duration of this lockdown. My reserves that I built up in this program are depleted. Thankfully I was able to attend a meeting this evening, and the topic was 3rd step. Funny how that happens. Good reminder that a life run on self-will can hardly be a success.

I left my last job because I didn't appreciate the culture (B4). However, it was probably because I was a terrible employee. However, I do find that my clients love me 10x more than my consulting colleagues. I joined a smaller firm to cover up the problem.

I drink during the day. I know it's the main reason for my ability to be a productive employee. Anyone else deal with this? I'm trying to control it through moderation management, Dharma meetings, therapy, and white knuckling.

Does anyone have experience going to AA while still using Plant assisted therapy such as Kratom and medical cannabis. I don’t wanna lie but I want to be accepted as there are only a few meetings here.

My last drink was me polishing off an expensive bottle of champagne on New Years. Tux on. In bed. It was a fitting farewell to booze. I’m thinking this could be a whole new thing for me. I’m certainly better off without it. I’m a bit worried about things opening up again. Parties. Travel. The roaring 20s. Got to keep up with the meditations and have plenty of proxies on hand.
