I was recently (in April) fired from a good nursing position that I was at for 5 years. I reached out to my old ADON to get some information on where we had our vaccinations from and she told me that I should come back and the administrator that I had issues with is gone. Is this something I should even consider? I miss my patients and some of my coworkers and the pay is better, but I don't feel like I would really be welcome to come back.

Almost 12 weeks. Still feeling sick in the evenings. Anyone? Please tell me this will end soon…

Has anyone gone into 5th month of pregnancy with the baby growing under the belly button? Looks more like a fatty pouch than a baby. Everyone else already has bumps starting from right under the boobs.

Anyone else struggling with feeling like their life is just completely out of balance? Feel like a lot of us have been working more than ever and besides the holidays I feel like my life has been work / sleep / a little bit of time for working out + talking to friends / repeat for a really long time. I’m definitely reminiscent for college and pre pandemic times when i had more time for seeing friends, hobbies, etc and those weren’t restricted by the pandemic

I heard Accenture is requiring vaccines. Are they really firing those that won’t get it?

Is the MARTA safe? Thinking about riding it Tue to avoid traffic but heard a lot of MARTA horror stories

Checked into a hotel room and it reeks of cigar smoke. I told myself I was too tired to go down and change rooms (it’s midnight), but now I’m here lying awake wondering if it’s dangerous for baby. I’m 11 weeks. Overreacting?

Recently ended a 3+ yr relationship (were both mid 20s and living together for just under 2 years) bc of him buying an engagement ring yet not proposing and waffling about our future. After 2 weeks I brought up that there’s a lot of good in us that maybe worth trying to work on (counseling etc). He wants space first and asked me to not wait for him as he sorts out his emotions and “tries to be happy again” (COVID depression and 100hr work weeks). Then he’ll decide if he wants to try again

Did IUI couple of times but failed. Not sure it works , fertility specialists are not that much interested in IUI but directly recommend IVF. For context am 39 , although have history of endometriosis and have a cyst in ovary do only 1 ovary is producing eggs. IVF seems little invasive and not sure if artificial babies are ethically correct . Just confused ...

My wife and I are expecting our first child together and she has gained a significant amount of weight. I don't mind this at all, however, it has caused her to snore louder than a rocket engine.
Has anyone else experienced this before? And tips on mitigating the noise?
I finally fell asleep (in the living room) at 3 am last night and woke up at 8 am because I could hear her snoring from the couch.

Neither my husband nor I are good with change and when my husband and I went for the ultrasound he nervously asked "she's too sick to eat anything other than her vitamins and water, is it ok for her and the baby to go without?" Our doctor just smiled and replied "don't worry, baby takes" I don't know why but that was so funny to us. It kind of became our mantra as we navigate and move our life around that "baby takes," its made it feel more Us vs Change rather than Me vs Him. Thought I'd share

So I had a couple panic attacks and stopped smoking weed as I was worried about my heart/racing/pains and was having anxiety about that. It’s been a month now not smoking and I’ve had more panic attacks and my resting heart rate is up almost 10bpm. I also ruled out any medical heart issues with my doc. I guess my question is... how can I manage my anxiety without medication when I was clearly self medicating with weed before? Im trying to get pregnant so pharmaceuticals are not really an answer

I was hired as a Sourcer. I am on track to be promoted to a full cycle recruiting role as I have done the job for the past 6 months to prove myself (and am the only recruiter on the team). I have been told I will be promoted but really want to figure out how to nail down a specific time frame/compensation with my manager. COVID has made this more difficult than it typically would be since the company isn’t doing many bonuses/promotions.

Anyone here around age 41 and still trying to conceive? I've already been through several rounds of IVF to no avail. I'm lost, broken and confused as to do I still continue at this age. Am I too old?

Can I ask a client for a referral? Just found the perfect role within their organization. For context, have been working with them on a variety of projects and the client appreciates the value/impact of the workstreams I’ve led. If so, what’s the best way to do it (I.e., reach out via LinkedIn)?

My employer is going on a hiring blitz and is offering new hires of the same position a higher salary than I currently have, is this normal or should I demand a raise?

Does anyone feel they’re adding any sort of value while going to the office? I personally don’t. In my team there’s legit zero level interaction with each other, no informative talks, no growths conversation and few are so absurd that each day they just find ways to impress their snrs. man, come on😅

Leadership asks us to come 2-3 days in a week and if I have to work in the same way which I used to do from home then why don’t we keep doing WFH as long as your job is not suffering.

Hey sharks,

Any sort of help is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I was promoted early this year from an assistant “hourly” role to a managerial “salary excempt” role, but my old job hasn’t been replaced and it’s been 5 months. It’s an unfair workload and assisting someone else takes up so much time that I can’t learn and develop in the managerial role. And I find myself constantly working overtime and not getting paid fairly, even with the pay raise I got when I was promoted. I want to send my employer an email saying they’re in violation of FLSA.

Been 3 months since I joined Luxoft and I am assigned to a backward DXC project. The lead is oppressive and bossy. There is no work-life balance and 9:30 hours of work is not enough for them. My probation period is going to end soon. Should I inform my Luxoft manager and tell him to change my project right now ? Or shall I wait for him to end my probation period ?
