Haha, this meme got me cracking up! For real though, I don't think I've struggled with anything more than giving up sugary drinks. Weirdly, I don't have the same obsession with dessert, it's just the drinks. Any tips on how I can overcome this? I don't like the diet alternatives because of the aftertaste so I'll save anyone's time from commenting that as a solution.

Question about health insurance. Since some of us are at the age of more preventives, such as colonoscopies and mammograms, are PPO plans the best option? Does anyone have an HSA? Do you recommend it? Yes or no? Thanks!!

My wife’s been on Lexapro for a year. She seems to have become almost robotic, cold, not like she was before. She needs it for anxiety and that’s a lot better, but I don’t see as much emotion in her. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hey all, Happy Monday. Curious for feedback on how you've seen severance offers approached.

My prior companies have always been what I thought of as average: min of 2 weeks plus extra week for every year for ICs, min of 4 weeks plus extra week for every year for managers, etc. for Directors & beyond.

Current co refuses to offer more than 1-2 weeks, max. I had to go to bat recently for a 3 year + manager level only to get 3 weeks and my leadership team is NOT happy with me.

Thoughts?

Mirzapur 2 - anyone else watching it ? Loving it ! The dialogues are amazing

Has anyone dealt with a therapist not being able to see you (virtually) while you are temporarily located in another state? I’m struggling with coordinating my work and when I’ll be in my home state with my sessions because apparently I can only be seen when I’m physically in my home state. Are there different types of lisences I should look for that would allow someone to treat me while traveling? It’s all very confusing…

How far do you require depts be with negotiating commercial contract terms before your legal review? I’m talking routine low value and risk contracts (e.g., vendor services), where Legal terms won’t kill the deal. My clients blindly forward contracts. I say “are you sure this term is ok?” And often get “no.” They’re surprised because they never read them. Checking the temp to see what others experience, what might be normal. I feel contract training in my clients’ future...
