Hey peeps. I disclosed my autism to my direct manager, and this led to micromanagement. I'm a very autonomous person and hate being micromanaged. Do you tell your companies about your autism and neuro diversity?

It sounds like I wrote it! Lol. Fatal error. Never again will I disclose my autism. Never.

I did but it wasn't on purpose. Had a mini-meltdown. He kept prying "what is wrong, can I help". I blurted it out. He's been decent. I'm very lucky.
I still wouldn't do it again though, people look at us so differently when they know.

Can a pro-lifer help me understand why Christianity is so pro life?

I've studied ancient Rome extensively, and the norm for control of family size was this: after a birth, the baby was presented to the head of the household. If the head of the household accepted the baby (no defects, right sex, family had enough money), then the baby was considered part of the family and raised lovingly. If the head of the household denied accepting it, it was left at the city dump to either: starve, be eaten

Comforting others:
When someone tells me bad news regarding their health, I say everything I am supposed to say (I’m sorry to hear that, I’m here for you, etc) EXCEPT “everything is going to be ok”. Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??

Hello all,

Would like to know specifically about Queer inclusion at SocGen
Societe Generale. What is the attitude of mangers and HRs towards treating LGBTQ identifying candidates? Is company really inclusive or it’s just a lip service? Considering an offer with the company but being an out and proud Queer woman, super anxious and concerned.

I really feel like I should be excused from this "diversity and inclusiveness" training stuff lmao. It's about implicit bias and I'm sorry it's just not believable coming from an old white man's mouth when there are maybe 4 non-white associates. We're having these meetings 3 times this week. 🤦🏽‍♀️

I’m sober curious. I’m also about to help a new non-alcoholic spirit company with their launch.
I have a question for people in recovery. If a brand were to contend that sobriety is a spectrum, or allow for that to a least be part of the conversation, how does that make you feel? Are other brands doing a good job of being inclusive of people who are truly sober?
(I get that NA drinks / spirits can be triggering for people in recovery)
Thank you.

Tomorrow they are requiring masks again and I was almost in tears when I found out. We have been mask free (recommended) since June and I feel like we are being muzzled again. I am vaccinated, frustrated, and have been off of antidepressants since March. I don’t even want to go into work tomorrow. Anything is better than being virtual and I am trying to look at the bright side, but moving backward still burns. We have parent-teacher conferences coming up and I am hoping that it’s temporary.

I just finished a big jury trial with a senior partner (SP). There were co-parties w/separate counsel. SP mentally checked out, to the point that co-counsel was asking what SP was doing/if SP was okay. I ended up handling most everything. SP did a few parts but went rogue and did things that were offensive/risky/bad for client. It became clear that SP is not performing like SP used to and may be a liability. Do I tell someone at my firm? Don’t want to offend SP or cause drama, but I’m concerned.

Any recommendations for resources after an adult diagnosis?

So many resources for children or adults who were diagnosed as children, but not newly diagnosed adults.
