Hey fish (esp nyc 🐠) - I feel obligated to go protest (before curfew) but I’m honestly pretty scared. If you’ve gone, what have your experiences been? How long have you stayed at a vigil or a march?

I'd advise against any physical protesting during a pandemic. My sister's a doctor in NYC - don't make her choose who gets the ventilator again.

This is very true, thank you. I spent so much of this year strictly social distancing out of respect to my loved ones in healthcare, and need to remember to stay safe in this aspect as well

I’m a nyc fish living in soho! You’re good - go attend! I understand being scared. The news was really alarmist in some of their reporting.

You have an opportunity to actually be a witness and participant to history in the making. Go and observe, feel the emotion. You’ll walk away in awe. Trust me.

I participated in a March and I've seen a few every day while I'm still working during the day. From personal experience, they've been incredibly peaceful. There are police in front and behind the group blocking off streets from vehicles.

About 2 hours. I found it very moving, I'd recommend at least staying for a bit, if you feel overwhelmed you can always stay back!

Don’t feel obligated to protest if you’re scared. You can help out in other ways besides protesting. Donate, spread the word and educate others, sign petitions.

The Protest_NYC twitter page has a list of daily protest locations. They make updates on the status of protests throughout the day and you can see prior protest activity as well. Most have been peaceful. They also report police scanner info on the protests (e.g police sending vans to xyz location)

Go protest, but be aware NYC has suspended habeas corpus

Name the most ridiculous micro-managing by partners that you experience.

I’ll go first: MP told me that on initial emails, I am always to start with “Hello [name],” but after the initial email, I am not to address her by name again in the same thread. Initial greeting can only be “Hello [name] ” because just first name is too brisk and a “Hi [name]” is too informal. Had a 5 minute, in depth conversation as to why she prefers it this way…

I have a governmental entity client in Texas that wants to offer 6 weeks of paid parental leave for all employees, even those who aren’t eligible for FMLA. After the paid 6 weeks, the employee can choose to continue paid leave using any accrued personal leave.

Texas does not have a paid parental leave statute.

If paid leave above what is required is offered for parents, do we also have to provide the same benefit to other employees that are eligible for unpaid leave?

Desperately want to get into healthcare strategy consulting. 13 years of healthcare clinical experience including project work. MBA. But keep getting told by recruiters that I don't have enough experience to be a Consultant or Manager but that I have too much experience to enter in every level such as a Senior Associate. Just one rejection after another, even when applying with internal referrals from Director or Partner levels. What am I doing wrong?
