Do you ever experience interactions at work that make you stop and feel bad for the people in their lives? Haha let me explain. I have this Sr. Manager I work with that I can’t help but feel bad for his wife and kids. He’s never said anything nice about them just complains that he has to drive them around. There’s this weird culture where I work where many people that have kids just kinda hate on them. Maybe I don’t understand because I don’t have kids??

Maybe he struggles to say nice things about them because the other half doesn't say nice things about/to him?

I’m still of the belief that if that is the case, work is not the place to say those kinds of things. At a minimum, should be aware of how that negative talk makes him look.

That's how my dad talks about me. I have a STEM degree, fix all of his electronics, and cook for him.

I’m sorry to hear that. I’ve known a lot of narcissistic people that put people down that help them so maybe we think about things differently than people in these comments. One time my CEO in a room of people was talking about how his son wasn’t that smart. There’s absolutely no reason to say something like that publicly.

Try not to be so judgmental. Who knows why he says what he says or how he really feels abt them.

I disagree. We’re all aware of how important building a personal brand is. If all he says is negative things, that’s all us have to go off of. In my opinion, even if things are bad, work is not the place to air out your dirty laundry.

We recently got the ok to schedule our orientation and delivery date for our IVF medications and all I have to say is ADVOCATE FOR YOURSELF! My husband has dermatomyositis, and his doctor put off treatment so that we could do some collection and go through IVF. I felt like my dr was blowing off our timeline, but I persisted. I worked with CVS Caremark directly and got approval in 2 days (not the expected 3 weeks). Moral of the story: ADVOCATE FOR YOURSELF!

There’s been some posts on the best planning tools (e.g. planners, calendars, etc.), but my question is how do ppl make sure they use them? I get them and am excited about the possibility of them helping for about a week then I just stop using it. Even if I find it helpful I just never stay consistent with it. Does this happen to others? Any tricks or suggestions to stay consistent using planners, to do lists, calendars, etc.
