I went industry about a year ago and hate it. So I applied to a few firms and Low and behold, one of the firms I applied to is now providing services to my team. I made it past the first round before we became their client but now I’ve been inform that if I want to continue with the interviewing process, I’ll need to disclose to my company that I initiated it and was not recruited. Would you continue, why/not? What do I need to consider when speaking with my employer?

So I started a new job a few months ago at an agency. Though my work performance is good I have been extremely stressed and anxious nonstop since day one. The work pace and load is significant. Even my spouse can tell a difference in me. The pay is good, but at what point is your mental health worth more than a paycheck? Is this new job blues or is this a sign of toxicity? Should I stay or should I go?

I left my previous employer (of 15 yrs) because of the good o’boys club (you can join if you cheat on your wife, have zero accountability, a huge ego and nose up a VP’s ass). Some of the best competent people have left recently as a result. Now they’re constantly posting propaganda on LI pretending it’s a “fun & cool” place to work. It makes me want to throw up in my mouth. I was I could tell all the naive young millennials to run, as fast as they can or else they better watch their backs…

A serious question and need your help. I rented a parking spot from someone and it was agreed that there would be no car that would be parked in my spot. We have a signed agreement as well. There was a breach and when I arrived, the spot was occupied and I kinda let it go but the owner of the spot is really causing issues and threatening to cancel the spot. Can I take any action regarding the breach?

Back in 2017 I quit an absolutely awful company that treated me (and all other lower level employees) like trash. We were constantly being reprimanded about not doing our job well enough, but then would also get yelled at for overtime when we tried to do our job well.
Every year since, I’ve written a 1 star review on Glassdoor. Currently their overall score is a 2.3 with a 0% approval of CEO. 15% recommend to a friend. (((Continued in comments)))

My ex whom Ive known for 7 years and cohabited with for 5, is a very good man, helps me cook, clean and watch our 2 kids. That being said, I can’t help but notice how depress I am when he is around. He always seems to be attached to me even tho we aren’t a together anymore. I left the “family home” with the two kids 3 years ago when my depression was starting to affect my parenting. I left him everything we had and started from zero in a new home. But he keeps coming back 😣.
