Yep Joes coffee on 84th Columbus is a nice cozy place to work. I’m biased because I live on UWS. Am sure there will be others as well.

NYPL is usually great. Equinox has lounges for members. East and West Villages are loaded with cozy coffee shops

I usually go to the one of the Bean locations because they’re open late

Birch Coffee - UWS

Irving Coffee Roasters

Left my firm a few weeks ago and suddenly I have several male colleagues from my team dm’ing me comments about my body and calling me “sexy”.

I really don’t know what to do as an ex-employee since I can no longer report to department’s HR. Am I just overreacting?

I'm 16 weeks pregnant (1st time). My office (in NYC) is re-starting back to work in 2 weeks. I previously had an exemption for fertility treatments as exemptions were given for any medical reason. Now there are no more exemptions being given & I would need to request one from my LoB head.

I have a new team whom I have never met & if I don't go back now, I wont see them until Dec. I am boosted but my commute is about an hour including bus ride & a 25 min walk each way. What would you do?
