For those expecting twins, where have you bought maternity work attire? I don’t go in the office often; however, I’m at the almost out of my current clothes stage at 18 weeks and think I’ll need some clothes. I feel like I’d have maybe another week or two in my stretchy jeans or my tops that are already a little flowy ( used to be flowy on my pre pregnancy frame lol). Thank you for any help!

How do you balance between being tough and being nice to colleagues? I found being tough can help get things done efficiently if the message is clearly conveyed and, very importantly, being tough can stop those bullies at work by showing them you are not soft. I experienced bullies. However sometimes I also find I might be too tough to push something moving forward without considering the other’s feelings. Do you have this problem? How do you handle the balance?

I was working at a Hotel one night & I saw a man appearing on two different floors, then in the stairwell. The man was in his 70’s or 80’s. He was wearing nothing but tidy whiteys. When he got to the front desk I asked “is everything alright? Are you okay?” (Assuming he may be senile),He wasn’t senile, he went swimming & wanted to make me uncomfortable and started to flirt while in his sopping wet see through tidy whiteys- and of course I had to clean up the water he tracked through the lobby.

Been in house for about a year. I just found out that a new hire who has 1-2 less years of experience than me (but will have the same role/title as me) received a compensation package significantly higher than me, mostly due to the market dynamics with law firm associates’ compensation being ratcheted up the past year. Can I ask for an equitable raise mid year? And if so, how? I got rave reviews but an immaterial pay bump (3%) at year end in December.

Guilt and shame about working in a legal position for years where, instead of using my law degree (was supposed to do legal work per the job posting), I served as a personal assistant to my boss/did nothing for maybe half the time. I feel like I was paid for work I didn't do. I've since left that job but the guilt and shame remains. I feel that I lack the character of a lawyer and that I am unworthy of the profession. I don't know how to make up for the lost years or how to forgive myself.
