Fellow pear shaped women! I’m on my journey of losing weight, and ofc can’t target weight loss. So now I’m getting leaner from shoulders and legs, but my belly fat and love handles remain a bit too visible… haven’t shopped for work clothes in a while. How should I dress? This post was mainly inspired by my Uniqlo shopping today where I realized how disproportionate I’m now looking lol

Hello all!

Changing from Vacation and Sick Time to just plain PTO starting in Jan. Staff can save up to 40hrs of their accrued Sick Time banks to use in 2022 in addition to their new PTO.

We have a part-time employee with more than 40 sick hours who will try to use as much of their Sick Time as they can before Jan 1. If this person has an avg weekly schedule of 17.5 hrs, can we stop them using sick time if their sick + work time will take them over their 17.5 scheduled hours?

Thanks!!

Came across an interesting game that allows people to share accomplishments, troubles, and what you're excited about for the future. It's been a crazy year.

My rose - i finished my incubator tech course and was able to launch my wine beta app.

Hey everyone! I need to pass FAR by end of April before I lose audit. It’s my last exam!! Did anyone use i75 or Ninja as their main review course for FAR?

I quit my job because my manager (CEO) was extremely toxic. I wasn’t the only one who quit for that reason either. What’s the best professional response for “I see there’s a gap in your resume. Why did you leave your last role?”

Ok ladies I need help. Job searching has got me down & I just don’t know where to go from here. Common theme in job postings I was seeing was a desire for a CERTIFIED Scrum Master. So I studied my butt off & got my certification. Yet I’m being told that even though my resume is impressive I need more experience. How are you supposed to gain experience if you can’t even get your foot in the door with the desired certifications & “an impressive resume”? All suggestions welcomed cause I’m at a loss

What were some breaking points for you that made it clear it was time for a change in career?. I've been with my company for 10 years and I'm having a hard time with making this decision

Raise chat! I am approaching 1 year with my company and am unsure of how to approach my CEO when asking for a raise. When I first came on, I was given a 5% raise after 3 months. I was promoted at 5 months but just in title, and a lot of responsibility. I believe I am long overdue for a salary increase and the overall cost of living is insane. I would like to ask for something closer to 15% but I’m not sure if that’s appropriate. Any advise?

Does anyone have any connections with decision makers at reputable modeling agencies for a young aspiring model?

Found out my mom and step dad are separating after 20+ years due to my moms narcissistic personality. I heard this from my step dad and have not heard from my mom yet about it. I am planning to keep a relationship with both parents after the separation, so I’d like to stay as neutral as possible even though I understand where my step dad is coming from and don’t blame him for not wanting to stay any longer. Should I reach out to her or let her tell me when she’s ready?

Went to a happy hour yesterday, and while I remember almost everything, I do not probably remember 5% of convos. I’m not someone who acts stupid/immature but have been dealing with some stuff personally. Really kicking myself for my behavior and feeling stressed. If I said anything shitty, would people ping me to tell? Work went on as normal today, but still feeling uneasy..

Interviewed for a role and after several months made it to the final round only to be recommend for another role. I saw the role recently reposted as a contract position( I’m positive no one was hired)…any thoughts?

I just took over a team of three very anxious people. They are all very valuable to the company, but I also care about them as people. Does anyone have any coaching program recommendations for me to take to help my employees overcome their anxiety?
