We are living in a world wide pandemic. And, I’m sorry but if you were sick and showed up to my meeting I’d be pissed. You’re not THAT important that the world will end. Screw anyone who makes u feel otherwise.

I get that, but honestly part of becoming an adult for me (not just legally like actually realizing I’m an adult) was when I realized my job in life was to decide when it’s ok to disappoint people. When you’re sick, especially during a pandemic, you don’t show up sick to a huge client meeting. You offer to dial in virtually at best, but just say I am so terribly sorry but I’m sick as a dog and given the nature of the world I really can’t go in good conscience and possibly get everyone there and their families sick. That’s it. No more excuses are required. Let your managers be immature and get mad. What’s the WORST thing that’s going to happen? You can’t control the fact that you’re sick….. you’re not doing something wrong here.

Thanks.

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says). Whenever I try to initiate, he always shuts me down and says he’s not in the mood. I even touch him and he gets hard but stops me as soon as I try to unzip him. We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
