Yes. This is why I refuse to have read receipts on. Sometimes I click a message open when I’m doing other things, knowing I won’t be able to reply immediately.

Yesterday was my first appraisal. I was welcomed and told that I am not eligible for promotion. But then again it was acknowledged that the work that I do is great.

Should I have negotiated more? What are the things that I can focus on in the next appraisal cycle? Want to know the thoughts of the experienced professionals.

Has anyone dealt with parents that never listens to what you actually need? All I need is support and empathy, but they always hand me oranges when I ask (specifically for apples). They think they are doing their best to care for me. But when I explain that I’m not happy at work and all they do is shame me for not being strong or smart enough for it. They ignore me when I keep coming out to them as gay (had to do it multiple times), and still keeping asking me to get a bf. I’m so bottled and mad
