Folks, some advice on tipping please. I went from having freedom to WFH whenever I wasn’t traveling (accommodating spouse travel) to using a dog walker at least 3-4 days/week, a lot of weeks. cont’d

So I’m reading online about holiday tipping, and I feel like the advice of “cost of one walk” is pretty cheap for all she does, sometimes on short notice. I usually pay about $80/week for daily, about $300/week when I have to include nights. What would you recommend as fair and nice to tip (especially since I’m about to leave for holiday travel directly after)

Typical holiday tipping for a dog walker / daycare is 1 week of service. Whatever your weekly average is, should be fine.

If it helps, I’m suburban greater NYC area - commute about 1.5 hours, so not quite NYC, but most she deals with are NYC commuters.

I would give $100. That’s kind

Colleague has put in his resignation. They are offering him whatever he wants to stay including 4days a week work from home. He’s not bluffing and plans to leave. However, at this same time I was asked to begin working as a supervisor for the engineering team and I would get a promotion at the beginning of the year. I have been supervising and managing our team of 6 for months with no extra pay or bonuses. I was told yesterday that raises will be light this year. Yet today they spare nothing.

Mental Health, inherited or choice? I am finding myself struggling with processing that ADD, Depression, or Bipolar is a chemical imbalance in the brain vs. behavioral therapy.

Has anyone here noticed a significant improvement after a prescription to help psych issues?

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend.

Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?
