P1, you're so fucking right, this shit is fucking genetics only. I now feel fucking better about my fucking self, thanks fuckers.

Also, the irony that you're telling OP that he can't spell deodorant when you misspelled sweat... 🤦🏼‍♂️

I always had armpit sweat issues. You need a OTC product called certain-dry. It will burn a little the first few times, but it is the only thing that worked for me. Was a huge problem before, and now it's 100% not a thought. I'm not a fat person either. 185, 6' and I sweat like I'm obese

It's genetic. Some folks swear more than the others. You know what's not genetic? Spelling incorrectly. Deodorant*

Get Mizzen+Main shirts

like

Super breathable, summer weight clothing (gray golf pants work great and are super comfy - assuming a suit is not mandatory). Light weight shirts with the sleeves rolled up. Frozen beverage or something cool to both drink and hold against your skin (I'll hold a cold water bottle against my wrists during plane boarding and it'll usually prevent excessive overheating and dripping swear). Take your shoes off (if you can and your feet don't smell). Move as little as possible and breathe slow.

Was thinking of getting a linen suit, are they too casual for a client where a suit is expected?

Get industrial strength deodorant, aka prescription deodorant

Armpits aren't too bad but I'm usually sweating on the front and back. Any remedies for that?

D3 knows what's up. I use it too. Best antiperspirant I've ever found.

Use it in on the inside of my elbow also to prevent the "I've been looking at my phone the whole commute" elbow sweat

Has anyone been successful in negotiating the schedule on a global pregnancy bill? My provider won't bill by visit and split the global cost into four payments all due by the 28th week. I don't understand how that's legal since it is so off the calendar of services and crosses calendar years (and insurance coverage), where most costs are incurred at the end of pregnancy with increased visit frequency and delivery.

Regardless of where we work, mental-health should be the utmost priority. Try your best to instill this with your teams as well.

My company is transitioning from wfh back to the office, but everyone returning to the office is supposed to be vaccinated. I told my boss I would NOT be getting the vaccine and he said I wouldn’t have a desk in the office until I did. So I told him I would continue to wfh. He said that “wouldn’t work.” After our phone call, I got an invite for a zoom conference with my boss and an HR rep!? They’re infringing on my rights by requiring a vaccine. What can I do to make sure I keep my job?
