Can relate to the burnout. Take some time GS… You are a valuable human being and no amount of money is worth this level of stress. It may be time to realize that this industry is in distress and pivot. Maria Kondo this sh!t!! What brings you joy?

OK GS… you got this. And you have already inspired someone today!! I am much in the same boat. Just took a ten minute career aptitude test on Truity.com and got some neat suggestions. No $ needed or spam. On my side, the results are inspiring and encouraging. PS I already quit my job. Taking a leap of faith after 40 years of work to find something meaningful from a career perspective.

I joined a new team and have noticed something off with my Director over the last months (slurring speech, no show to calls or even full days of work).

In confidence she told me she can often smell alcohol. How can I help? I feel helpless. I’ve already lost someone to addiction and I can’t ignore this. Any advice?

Hey all! I went through the interviewing process with a company and we had a verbal agreement on X amount of salary per year. They liked me and extended an offer but the offer was for $15K less than what we agreed bc that’s what HR approved for. I was desperate so I took it. Accepting this offer meant that I had to relocate to the other side of the country. Omw that was 2500 miles, I received a call that they rescinded the offer. Is there anything legal that I can do to sue them?
