Please help - My fiancé’s side of the family is huge and we’re having a really tough time finding anything close to our budget for 200-250 people. Has anyone found any venues in the Catskills/CT/MA/even PA that don’t require their own food/bev? Also general reassurance is great too 😞

Went to my obgyn and asked about freezing eggs. She said given I’m 31 and having fairly regular periods, no reason to really consider it until I’m closer to 35. Do you recommend getting a second opinion on that advice?

I’m about to undergo elective egg retrieval (not due to infertility, just preserving my eggs!). Does anyone know if insurance typically covers the medication component (I.e. the injected meds)? I know the cycles themselves won’t be covered since I have no history of infertility. Thank you!

Hey all, question about a toxic organization. I’ve rided it out in sales as an AE at an org for 2 years and now I truly feel my mental health suffers.

There is inconsistent behavior and 0 accountability from leadership when we don’t hit our sales targets.

Is this a normal thing in sales?

Is there any resources someone can point me to about the potential legal issues and more information from an HR perspective about contingent employees (temps, contract workers, part-time workers) versus normal FTE’s?

I believe my S/O night have bipolar 2... and it’s slowly tearing us apart. The whole Covid situation hasn’t helped things either. This is based on nothing but my gut, some internet detective work, and that it runs in their family. How do you go about bringing this up? Can anyone on here speak from experience (on either side)? Help?
