Have had a history of anxiety and depression, flared up again in the past few weeks. Went to my Psychiatrist and explained that I’m really struggling and want to take STD from work to get things under control, esp. since work causes most of the anxiety. He said he can only approve 2 weeks, I was looking for longer - any advice?

I grabbed dinner with a friend during restaurant week (first time in ages!) and completely blacked out/fell on the floor waiting for dessert. Medics who arrived said my vitals were fine. The only thing I did differently was have a couple glasses of wine (first intake since NYE). Has this happened to you and do you know the cause? I’m getting a full physical with blood work. In retrospect, I’m glad I was out when this happened instead of alone at my place.

Hi Team,

I have accepted the offer letter from KPMG already but now I have received a better offer from BDO. Can I opt out of the KPMG offer now? Will KPMG blacklist me incase I accept BDO offer?

Do we have any leave encashment policy in IBM? Can we carry forward leaves from current year to next year or is it going lapse?

When is the best time to leave PA? I don't want to leave until I am at least a manager. Right now I am a first year senior. I know it's a broad question, but from a career position. If I could I would

I need serious advice, please! Am I wasting my time messaging a guy I matched with online that lives on the opposite coast? Background: we message each other at least 1-2 times everyday for the last FIVE months but never over a phone call. He actually doesn't even have my number. We message on IG. He's a full-time student and full time employee so busy guy. But am I wasting my time and emotions with this guy??

I’d like to preface this post with saying I was in a very toxic relationship previously. I went to therapy, healed myself, and now feel I have found someone very healthy. He self reflects, he listens, he’s present, he makes me feel heard (mostly). With all that said, I can’t stop feeling like he’s only giving me the bare minimum. I do a lot of the small things, make sure I’m hitting all his love languages daily, and I keep feeling like he thinks he’s doing everything to keep me happy, but

What duration of break is perfect for a couple to figure out if they want to break up or move forward with the relationship? Me and my boyfriend, we fight a lot over petty stuffs and have disagreements over every little things. So, we decided to take a break to decide what’s best for us.

OK I want feedback! Not from you guys, from my staff 😜 we don't have 360 feedback at my firm. Any staff here who can tell me how they would feel if senior reached out to them with a short survey looking at what they did well and what they could improve on? (we are no longer in busy season, would take probably 10 minutes per staff I worked with). Questions would likely be what did I do that was most helpful as a staff, what did I do that decreased efficiency or stressed you out, what have(cont)

How to get better in interviews? I am a foreign-attorney and a current law student (rising 2L). I am in the top-third of my class, Hispanic woman, years of legal experience, and made law review. I always receive tons of compliments during my interviews, but they don’t result in call backs. Some interviewers are truly interested in my personal story, but seem like they were not planning to hire me from the beginning. What can I do? I am terrified of not getting a 2L SA.

Thoughts on Cognizant? Being headhunted for a somewhat interesting role there, but seems very build and deployment focused

Looking to hire consultants with 1-2 years of experience to a tech company for a strategy & operations role. Pay very competitive, good wlb and exposure.
Let me know if anyone is interested (non-lebanese only pls due to hiring restrictions)

If anyone has any leads for an HR or People Ops role please let me know. I have an MBA in HRM and I am making less than 10k a year. I am just tired of it, I am looking for a fully remote role, I have experience in L&D and People analytics(entry level).

Any help is appreciated!

Is there a role can leverage both product design skills and mobile development skills? I’m an android developer and I’m interested in learning UX design but I want to be able to leverage both skills instead of switching to product design.

Is IB still hiring? I am interviewing with MM IB right now, I am wondering if there will be hiring freeze soon. (Ex. Recent GS laid offs..)

Hey guys, anyone from Shopee Singapore open to provide referrals? Please let me know! Thank you in advance

i can't wait to get a new job and put in my two weeks. my managers have been horrible and offered me 0 training.

I made out with a girl and a dude yesterday and I think I liked both?

I showed up to the airport high asf after smoking a bong and eating 100mg of edibles my friend gave me for the first time in my life AMA

Been seeing someone for a bit over 16 months, she just dropped the “I love you” and I’m not sure if feel the same. Everything is good, no red flags but I have emotional baggage from a prior long term relationship that led to internal emotional roadblocks. We talked it out and I basically agreed that I sabotaged things by not disclosing my emotional baggage earlier. Her feelings grew while mine were stagnant. No idea what to do with misaligned emotional commitment. Any thoughts?

I want to share my blog but not sure if there is a bowl for that. Does anyone know of a bowl to do so?

How many of you have hooked up with someone at work? Why was this the best and/or worst decision of your entire life?

To the Russian 🐠, Russian culture is filled with an irreplaceable history! From Russia, we got amazing pieces of art, novels, ballet, architecture, music, and even tetris. Russian people have always proven themselves to be a resilient and strong people in the face of difficult situations. Even when their issue was internal. From its people, the world has so much more cultural richness. None of what is happening in Ukraine is your fault. Be proud of your heritage.

I did NOT expect to read so many posts about cheating and having s*x with employees here. WTF is wrong with you people! Lol 😫.

I’ve read over 20 books on dating in the last 2 years. I know so much, I could start a consultancy

Currently in bed taking my mid day work nap

Sipping blanco tequila neat: 1000 times better than taking shots.

God, damn that agave and citrus flavor burst!! Hit the spot

Any of y’all hooked up with a coworker? Regrets?

How honest do you believe it’s worthy for you to be in a termination interview? Do you think the HR or your direct leader care? Would you do in the belief to promote real change for the next to come? Would you ignore the problem and keep it low key and let the whole thing sink?

I’m addicted to getting fresh haircuts. About to get a haircut now in prep for weekend activities. Gonna get another one on Sunday since a trial starts on Monday. This will probably be the closest gap I’ve ever had between haircuts. Feel kind of guilty about it.

Tbh "Imagineer" is just Disney Kool-Aid

When I’ve my desk in standing desk mode, and I’m sitting on my chair and looking up at my screens, I feel like I’m looking up at god.

I’m not sure if I’m overthinking this but I (25M) have a feeling a friend(23F) is hitting on me. Whenever we hang out she’ll get really close and keep touching/poking me whenever we need to turn corners, cross the block, etc because she’s the navigator. When we sit next to each other on the bench she’ll be up on my personal space up. Just a lot of shoulder to shoulder touching. I had other female friends this touchy as well but I wouldn’t think anything of it because some people are touchier 1/2

Question, why do girls like to show off their bodies (insta, constant bikini pics etc.)? Like guys barely make an effort even when they’ve got abs and everything

Is there a health /fitness bowl?
