There are lots of responses which work in the moment, but that time has passed. She can practice ones for next time tho... maybe 'I have been working so hard this busy season on your f'ed up file I had to take a break from the gym' or 'my boyfriend likes expensive restaurants and I like him' or 'whipped cream and chocolate are great for lovemaking'

Lie say they're pregnant and then say they had a miscarriage when she doesn't have a baby. Controller will then feel really bad for them and karma solved.

She's also the client. Being fat isn't a protected characteristic (meaning no potential for a discrimination or harassment lawsuit). Controller is being a bitch here, but she is the client and they are who pays us. Assuming this was a one time thing I'd just let it slide. Going to war with the clients controller over a minor comment is a CLM.

The Manager and SM need to know of this. I would expect them to convey this to PPED. This is unacceptable and downright unprofessional. But be sure that you or the Staff can back up the story. Hear say will not cut it; was there anyone else in the room? Corroborate the story to get the facts right.

Is anyone else who works in SPED dealing with students who are coming to school sneezing + coughing, cannot consistently keep masks on, and don’t understand social distancing? I absolutely used to love what I do but I’m feeling extremely anxious about guidelines not being followed within these groups. I am high risk and so are my family members. I don’t know what else to do and it might be time for me to go, but I would miss my students so much. I’m feeling stuck! Please tell me I’m not alone?

Happy Monday! I cleared multiple rounds for a PM role and am currently in the team match phase. My recruiter left on maternity leave and handed over to another recruiter. The new recruiter is refusing to get on a call with me stating very frivolous reasons such as they could not read my email request as it went to spam etc. Its been over two weeks and they haven’t contacted me since.
