Anyone have to retake their NIPT test? My results came back as insufficient quantify and I’m freaking out. I’m 11.5 weeks. Not a high BMI or anything so I’m worried something is wrong with my baby

Going through a miscarriage at the moment. Was 5 weeks-ish in and did three days of HIIT workout and here I am. I’m young so not that sad but I just hope I don’t have to get the D&C surgery. :(

Hope both Donald and Melania recovery swiftly. This isn’t good for either side. - Lib

Thought I was being really proactive by looking into freezing my eggs at 29. Did the initial testing and am floored by how poor my indicators are (amh = .7, etc). ☹️ anyone else find out like this? Completely didn’t expect it.

Just an observation, I’m at Stansted and the airport is packed, people without masks everywhere. Almost like pre pandemic.

10/25 check in🙌. What are your workout plans today?

My fiancé and I are getting married next august and we still haven’t decided on a honey moon, we want somewhere tropical but also are worried it’s peak hurricane season if we go right after our wedding which will be Aug 26. Any ideas/recommendations?!

My company is in need of a update online, could use your opinions! We need to better showcase our culture (caring, supportive, fun, intelligent IT industry leaders) as well as diversity. We are predominantly white still but making strides to improve here. What’s the best way to approach? I don’t want to seem disingenuous or that we are singling out our diverse employees (asking for photos). We have a remote and on-site workforce about 350+ EEs. Non white EEs make up about 35% of the company rn.

What’s the best advice/strategy you’ve adopted for lawyering with ADHD?

Senior member: “Hi [new attendee’s name], where are you from?”

New attendee: “from [city and state]”

Senior member: “No, where are you reeeeaaaallllyyy from?”

**awkward silence**

New attendee: “from God”

Well… 🫣

Anyone promoted mid year, have you seen a base pay increase?

Ever since I told my salary to my best friends from high school , she has been giving me bad vibes. She sent me tik toks of why corporate is toxic and how corporate jobs are not better. She got drunk at my place and started saying “I don’t need money , it’s about being spiritual.” She works at the mall and sells food in the side from home, makes no effort to make her business legitimate. I am very humble and don’t deserve haters

Did Eddie Van Halen come into your radar ? Personally I was never enamored by guitar virtuoso s and if I did Eric Johnson’s Cliffs of Dover is something I could listen to over and over again

What would be a normal salary for an HR Business Partner in a Bank or financial services firm with 8+ years experience? Thank you

Incoming MBA, I have my tuition paid for and rent covered (I will be an RA). So the only thing I need to pay for is food and entertainment. Do you think 20k is enough to last me through the 2 years? I will make a little money interning in the summer, so that would be a safety valve if I blow through the 20k.

Or… should I take a small loan?

After 12 rounds of me vs my adhd - its still a LOVE/HATE relationship. I conclude I’m in the wrong career as a result. I love being smart, excelling, having random super human skills. But my career/stalemate with my own mind makes me feel like I am the biggest loser fuck up ever. All the time. I 1000% understand why work isn’t working out. I empathize for all involved > they probs deserve. Thrilled to figure this out but OH F$CK this is gonna get BAD bad before it gets fixed. Commiserate?

I know titles are an issue in all industries... but can anyone help me understand the difference between the functions of HR Administrator, HR Coordinator, and HR Assistant?

Just found out someone who I considered a good friend is in the next county over illegally getting her hair done. I’m fuming but do I start a fight with her or just ghost her out of my life?

"...likely goes without saying, but obviously we can't..."
– an account director

Translation: "I know it's not my place to say (and everyone knows it) and we'll really have to work hard to get this done (and everyone knows it). But I want to be on record as being against it before there's any whiff of complication or controversy—and before the client has an opportunity to be for or against anything."

Ah... teamwork.

“Is your mom on FB? I just found a sub-Reddit called ‘Old People On FB’ and it’s great.”

Me: ugh, I am soooooo fucking done with this financial client, please, please, please assign me to literally any other project!

Boss: oh, really? I thought you'd want to stay on.

Me: lololololol why?

Boss: the client said they liked your voice so much during your interviews that they want you to do the voice over for the commercial.

Me: ...oh?

Me: well, let's not be too hasty. I should probably stay on a little longer then, wouldn't want to jeopardize the commercial or anything...

Am I paranoid? I feel like my colleague is constantly asking me misleading questions via teams to report to the partner about me? In general, I just feel like they’re always watching me to report me for whatever reason. I also find that they don’t respect my personal space or boundaries at work. Sometimes I just want to have lunch by myself or not go to some work events to catch up on my high priority emails/tasks and they would continuously ask me again as I if i would change me response.

“I love to get roasted, but not by drag queens."

So overheard after work:

I left a company a while back and a coworker of mine that also left just informed me that one of the C level execs has an SEC decision against him for embezzling several million.

This was from before I worked there...

CxOs in a consulting firm say discovery phase is a bad thing to say. Instead, use roadmapping or planning. Edit: I’m confused. What’s wrong with discovery?

In a brainstorm about motivating employees through employee communications:

Top 3 employee motivators:
1. Donuts
2. Contests
3. Free

I'm trying to figure out why work thinks that offering rotations out of role for 6 months is suppose to replace the ability to grow and obtain permanent positions changes? I feel like its dangling the carrot in front of the jackasses face. Sorry but that is NOT surprise or delight for me and I'm not a jackass.

Boss: "Aren't you supposed to be on PTO?"
Overworked employee: "I'm not here in spirit."

OMG- big Tea. So there’s a mess between a big 4 consultant and someone - it’s about to be a shit show
