Hi fishes, I ended up in a difficult situation. So I accepted offer from a bangalore based startup, but my current organization decided to retain me so I informed them that I won't be able to join. They sent a gift box to me before I could inform them about the update. Now it feels bad to accept the gift. Shall I return it to them? Need your opinion.
Thanks

A gift is a gift. A hamper shouldn't decide your career decisions.
Just keep it professional and let them know that you are moving on.

Took my first vacation (1 week) in over a year to visit family. Was bombarded by emails from one partner asking me to complete non-time sensitive motions, which he hasn’t even bothered to review. This is my third firm in three years (first I left as I was severely underpaid, second I left for a 100k increase in salary), but this lack of respect for my boundaries has made me want to move again once I’ve completed 18 mos. Bad? They don’t do this to the other associates (all male).

Hello, All! I'm looking for recommendations on inspirational content for women leaders. I follow TEDWomen, many podcasts, and the Women's Conference among other sources. I'd love to hear a fresh perspective on business, trends, tech, marketing, equality in the workforce, etc. I'd love to learn something new. I'm at the VP level and have started a couple of companies, so nothing too junior, but open to many topics. Please share any speakers, books, webinars, or events that you may come across.
