All the #feminism corporate branding from companies that do very little to meaningfully address their systemic issues.

For starters, I responded to the hashtaggy / PR spin emails from both my local and national leadership to initiate a polite discussion on the topic - along the lines of "I really appreciate the visible show of support, but I've also personally experienced that there can be a disconnect between our stated or aspirational stance, and how these things show up in day to day. I'd love to see more concrete action, particularly from the many men in leadership - identifying a time they *didnt* live up to these values, or how they unconsciously contributed to systemic problems, and what they've done to address that. I would also love to see more concrete statistics on the more subtle tells - do we have stats on demographic differences in progression speed, or attrition? Is the firm monitoring trends in personality based feedback or gendered performance review language? How does our firms culture of overwork and glorification of long hours impact particularly working mothers - who often have the highest per hour productivity but our often penalized for putting in less facetime hours"

Etc.

I've also pushed for practical inclusive leadership courses in my local office, beyond the one hour "implicit bias" rubber stamps.

My American citizen 8 month old is on tourist visa in India; current stay runs out on June 7. Flying outside the country is a risk we don’t want to take w/COVID. Don’t want to overstay the visa either. So we applied online on eFRRO to convert his visa to X-1 so we can apply for his OCI. They didn’t ask for payment and message popped up saying watch your text/email for next steps. Anything else I can do?

I’m dating someone new and it is going very well. He is kind, not high strung, with great values and shares my sense of humor. It is so easy and natural to spend multiple days with him.
Still I am having doubts because I think he isn’t very “intellectual”. To be clear, he’s intelligent! He is a great STEM role that requires an advanced degree. We share a love of reading as well. However he is not really interested in world affairs, does not follow the news closely, does not have a strong grasp

I also haven’t traveled or gone on many social outings since last March so Ik that is taking a toll on me as well

My husband, who had a successful career but is not yet 40, wants to retire and look after our kids while actively investing our money. I enjoy consulting and will gladly keep working. We also have a good amount of savings, mostly fueled by our frugality during his peak earning years. I feel like I need to support my husband’s dreams while negotiating clear terms. Has anybody been down a similar path and have advice?
