As a non-managerial staff person who works directly with clients, what can/should I do when a client makes crude (ableist or sexual) comments? His comments are never directed at me, and I’m not personally offended, but I’m afraid my awkward laughs are coming across as approval. Im 4 years of out of college and my client is about 30 years my senior.

Don’t respond with an awkward laugh. If you don’t feel comfortable calling him out as inappropriate and rude, then do what woman have done for years in response to comments.

With a blank stare, ask him to repeat it, explain what he means. Ask why he would think/say that.

And report his behavior to your manager. If nothing else, you may be supporting reports by someone else.

This was recently posted in a thread I was commenting on. “It frustrates me to read people’s messages from states with very few cases to act like the virus is nothing to those of us whose states have a 100k.” Syntax aside, the meaning is clear—if you are from a small state, you should zip it.

I am from a small state. Our case count will never break us out of the bottom quartile (probably never get above the bottom 5.) Does that mean I am not allowed to have an opinion?

First team interview went well.

Should I relocate for effectively the same base pay but more expensive city? Is it likely I'll get promoted to L5 eventually?
