Diagnosed with mild bell’s palsy (nerve on one side of face is damaged - can’t move it) and I have a happy hour tomorrow. Should I skip it? Should I ask to work from home while I recover?

My mom had that! You need to take it seriously or it can have a lasting effect. Please rest and do a lot of facial massages. My mom saw her esthetician nearly every day for a couple months and saw a huge improvement and a year later it was completely gone. I met someone else that didn’t seek any treatment for it and it became permanent. I hope it gets better!

If you don't feel comfortable going, yes.

Sorry to hear that OP. I would ask to work from home for sure. After all your health is the most important thing you have. Think long term. Not to scare you, but you have to treat it well to avoid any complications. Advise with your doctor and work remotely;) good luck. Hope you recover soon enough

I'm in salary negotiations for a great role, but there's a small gap (~$10k) to even match my old salary. They have most of the obvious benefits like unlim. vacation, low healthcare premiums, 401k matching, permanent WFH, etc.

Right now, severance pkg. and a more senior title are most important. Has anyone negotiated a title bump? Outcome?

Are there additional benefits I should also consider?

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?

I don't like my job, the responsibilities and tasks aren't right for me or my lifestyle.

Key positives for my current employer are pay and security. But my new role within the company isn't working for me, and ultimately I don't think it is for the company either.

A much much smaller (20 people) company offered me a role.

With the global economic situation as is, is it worth the risk to change to a job I know i'd like more with less pay, and potentially less job security?
