For those expecting twins, where have you bought maternity work attire? I don’t go in the office often; however, I’m at the almost out of my current clothes stage at 18 weeks and think I’ll need some clothes. I feel like I’d have maybe another week or two in my stretchy jeans or my tops that are already a little flowy ( used to be flowy on my pre pregnancy frame lol). Thank you for any help!

Hi fishes!

I am seeing too many post about awards like rising star, Kudos, etc. People keep telling there managers recommended them for these awards.
My manager doesn't interact much with us. I consider myself as some one who has worked hard for project and other intiatives. Should I ask my manager to consider me and if yes how should I initiate it.
Part of MC team.

Thank you.

Put my 2 weeks in Monday 🥳 but I feel like my team is wanting me to complete a lot of stuff before I leave?? like new items on top of wrapping up/transitioning… tbh I wouldn’t care but I really like my coworker that they’re unfortunately going to pile a lot of my stuff onto when I leave - how do you balance helping but also being so unmotivated knowing you’re leaving? I want to end on a good note and not screw people over but also think it’s a literally ridiculous what they’re asking me to do
