BCG fish: when do health insurance benefits kick in for new hires? Starting on day one, or after 30 days? Thanks!

Was told about this bowl by a fellow fish. 25F convinced I have undiagnosed adhd. Anyone get on meds later in life vs as a kid? I always had a billion micro thoughts but now it’s ten times worse

I just got a really great offer, only downside is the eligibility for maternity leave is after 12 months of employment. We got a faint positive today but have had so many chemical pregnancies over the past year that I am not confident it will stick this time BUT I am on aspirin and progesterone for this try … so it could.. I want to see if I could negotiate being eligible earlier but I also don’t want them to think I’m pregnant when I’m not actually… How would you approach the conversation?

Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area. My worry is that if there is a need to claim in future, it can be done all online by my nominee? Is it recommended to take policy online in any platform(like policybazaar)?
Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
Please guide

Does anyone know if we can reimburse expenses for items listed in Wageworks while on maternity?

I know we cannot expense phone/internet/ commuter benefit as I am not actively doing work.

I’m turning 40 this year. While I don’t want a mid life crisis (although getting a bike or sports car again do sound nice…), I do look forward to when I’ll just not give a f*ck. Worrying what others think is incredibly draining.

I’ve decided I want to get a rower. It will be my only piece of fitness equipment in the house. Are there any personal recommendations? I’ve looked online at NordicTrac, Hydrow, Aviron, etc and can’t decide. They all have pros and cons (like anything) and I haven’t been able to narrow down to anything yet.

Four years out of rehab today. Mostly sober since I “graduated”. Sometimes I want to act out and be caught, so I can be punished…because I don’t believe I was punished enough or suffered enough (divorce, losing a house, suicidal thoughts aren’t punishment enough apparently). In a meeting tonight a couple shares brought me right back to when I hit rock bottom, to the pain that I inflicted on others and myself. I need to remind myself every day that I am worthy of love and recovery.

Got picked up for a client yesterday around 1 and was not only asked to stay late last night but to also finish my workpaper today. Prior to this no one I’ve heard at my firm has ever had to work on a Saturday. Oh, and this was my first week. Am I wrong to be annoyed with this?

Hello,

My name is Aaron Silverberg. I am a fish wandering down stream looking for a school to grow with.

I am in search of a full-time job in the digital marketing industry to help build on my entrepreneurial and marketing interests gained from the pop-up pizza shop I started in the summer of 2020 “Sadies.” 

I am interested in building a brand, creating a following, growing a community and seeing how that brand maintains its image.

Hope to get in touch and have a nice weekend!

I had a behavioral interview with a manager from another team and a case study with the hiring manager. They both took notes as I gave my answers but the first manager was very disinterested from the get go and was distracted as he kept looking away from the screen.

I’m wondering how much influence the first manager has since I’m not sure what he’s writing
