Have any of you discussed with your significant other about not wanting to work anymore (not relating to family planning or such)

How did it go?

Yes, we talked about it. The talk went well. He agreed I can stop working if I wanted to.

For lifestyle reasons, I haven’t quit. But work is much more bearable knowing that I DO have the option of walking away at any moment.

My husband and I both agree that life would be so much easier if I stayed home. We’re both exhausted coming home from work and then have to deal with dinner and cleaning and other life things. Money is the only issue and living in an expensive city doesn’t help.

My husband tells me to quit every single day. I hate my job, but I love the live we have. And I know that if I quit we will have to change our life. Now we 95-100% save my salary so we live comfortably on his, but if I quit we will have to adjust the cost to cover my retirement, savings, etc. So I still work.

Have you (or anyone else on the thread that says they still work) considered a reduced work schedule instead?

Thanks, this is what I had heard as well

Hey ladies! I started a new role back in September, fresh out of college. In this role I often have to communicate with acct managers + I’ve noticed that they often question/screen me before letting me to do my job. I’ve asked around + others that I started with don’t experience this. I wonder if my “black name” is apart of this. I have always loved my name and displayed it but lately I’ve been wondering if it’s hindering me? For ref, my name is common for blk women but spelled differently.

Just started working in-house within the last couple of months. First real attorney gig after doing compliance.

Talked to my boss today and they want to hire another to take things off my plate since I am the only attorney. They plan to rewrite my job position to do more risk and compliance. Am I wrong for feeling like I should have been included in the convo?

Hi ladies. Looking for some advice. My lease is up soon (in a few weeks); and I’m considering just giving it up instead of renewing and moving in with my parents for a while. I’m in a relationship that i think is coming to an end (we don’t live together) and I’ve been toying with the idea of just taking 3-4 months to travel. Maybe explore Europe. Have to make the decision soon. Any advice or has anyone been thinking like this?
