If you are a woman, I’d recommend learning about and considering joining Junior League of Washington. We work with a ton of community partners, mostly in the literacy space for women and children. I’ve been there since 2016 as an active member and it attracts all kinds of interesting people, including women that have become close friends.

Lets us discuss why Indian companies expects/forces/ us to work more than 9 hours but in timesheet we have to fill 8.
Managers schedule meeting after office hours and expects us to be available always.

Sorry to say this but I have seen only Indians who work extra hours. What's even funny is that the upper management laugh at foreigners who work exactly 8hours.

Should we not change our mentality?
What should we do to not follow this anymore?

Hi,
My current company is going out of business next week. I am rushing to get my next job lined up (probably won’t happen in time but I’m trying my best).

Please share your thoughts and wisdom! Thanks!

In other words, would a man be uninterested in a woman who’s living with her ex (but of course being appropriate after the breakup)?
