I participate in ours and really enjoy it. We have in-person get together once every quarter. We also have virtual chats that are themed and open-ended. They also provide trainings during performance times that are tailored towards the black employee experience.

Our ERGs are really good but EXHAUSTING. There are always so many events and initiatives going on, it’s crazy

I’m a member and I’ve been to a couple of the meetings (they’re virtual). I’m over 40 and work in tech and I found that the group is really for the younger employees. The leaders of the group are newer in their career and I just found myself feeling out of place. One of the other 40somethings in the group felt the same way.

At my last job, there weren’t many opportunities to participate if you were not at HQ other than in Slack or virtual events. We’d often be promised swag, etc and never get it because the ERG leads kept changing. I tried to get one started locally but the business groups were too segregated due to schedules (overnight v regular), physical building locations, priorities, etc.

Due to a family situation we are looking to move to a different state. Normally we would sell our current home and buy a new home in our new location. However, with todays prices and interest, will it make more sense to rent out our current home and rent a home ourselves vs. selling and buying immediately when we move? We are moving from Vegas to Sacramento and we are not sure how long we would stay in the new area. Thoughts?

I’ve made it 5+ years in a NY M&A practice and have consistent exceeding expectations reviews. I’ve had a few mental breakdowns because of work during this time, but thankfully made it through. I’ve been in a near constant depressive/anxious state for family reasons for the last year and half, and am soon having my first kid. I’m scared shitless that I’ll spiral out of control both at work and at home if something doesn’t change soon. Any suggestions on how to keep this job and keep it together?

Fishes need suggestions. I have been put on PIP for bad performance. I am being a part of 6 months project and project is about to complete with backend work done. I took more time for some tasks because of not knowing the technology so they highlighted that and my senior send emails to HR to put me on PIP. What should I do ? Acknowledge PIP ? Or resign? Or let them terminate me so I can claim salary of three months as fnf settlement? Getting confused, please suggest.
