Anyone just getting tired of their partner on a whole new level with WFH? I feel like we are getting into spats more, I'm getting more resentful of the lack of even workloads/effort, and to top it all off these tensions are literally invading my personal space!

Not looking for advice really. Just wondering if anyone else is feeling partner fatigue more now than the Before Times.

My old partner would call me on slack without warning me. That would piss the shot out of me. A simple “hey are you free to talk in 5?” Is all it takes.

Hi All

I got selected for TCS recently and 4th July is my joining date. I was selected for 15 LPA. My concern is i have a small kid who is 10 month old and i dont want to leave her to maids. I am getting higher package offers like Nagarro permanent wfh. But i am hearing that Tcs will be good for WLB and less work stress. Is this true? Because i am little bit stresseful that permanent wfh options may be very hectic. Kindly guide me in this regards.

I have a cousin who occasionally asks me to watch their baby while she and her husband go out. I’m very happy to do it and it doesn’t happen often but she always attempts to pay me / buy me a gift as a thank you. I always refuse the money but she’s started sending me gift cards. I was thinking of just using the gift cards to buy something for the baby and giving it back to her but is that weird / rude?
