Handling peers:
I work with a colleague who will try to prove she is the final boss. For example: in meetings she will wait to see what I speak and then summarize them using different words, collect information from me and then present it to leadership and eventually become Go To person for all updates. Try to get into all activities to show that she’s on top of everything, try to be communicator on all things, cut me in meetings. Leadership enjoys the in group fighting to keep everyone in check

I don't know if I'm being overly sensitive, but I "broke up" with a friend a few years ago for my own sanity because she gave too much unsolicited advices - each time she almost argued her suggestions were correct ways, and she criticized me for being a terrible friend that I couldn't make it to a friend's destination wedding.

I’ve had multiple (freelance) clients try to hire me full time. Good opportunities, good people...but I just love the freedoms that come with freelance life. Am I crazy to keep turning them down? Also what’s the most respectful way to navigate that conversation?

Are client side headhunters a thing? Or do I need to take a more traditional route where I search and apply for each gig on my own?
