How do you meet people in a new city? Going out to bars/clubs I can make temporarily fun connections but nothing that's meaningful outside of the moment...

In a new city, I usually first befriend people in the "industry" - by this I mean the bartenders, waitstaff, chefs, bouncers etc- they are usually the keys to a whole new world

Was wondering that myself.

Whole new world of drugs lol. Start internet dating and branch out from there. Maybe join a soccer or softball team or something.

Group fitness classes is a good venue. I do crossfit and it was easy to connect with people who regularly ended up in my class

If you are religious, find an organization to join or visit several. If not, join an athletic club or group doing a hobby you enjoy.

Meetups.com has worked for me

Meetup suggestions?

FML. I’ve been dating someone for 8 months and have been having doubts about the longevity of the relationship. This week he tells me he is thinking about leaving our city and working remotely. Even though I was already thinking about ending it, this hurts. I know I’m being childish - being rejected by someone who I was planning to reject! And I know he isn’t the right guy for me in the long term. So why does this hurt?! 😭😭😭

I have no issues dating/sleeping with my neighbors, co-workers (sometimes, happened twice), and hired help (personal trainers, massage therapists, mechanics). My excuse: I'm a busy gal who doesn't have time to screen men on apps. I have an insatiable appetite for sex and the convenience doesn't hurt!

I'm not sure what else I did other than being respectful and not giving flip at the same time but (4) mature ladies in my office flirt with me every chance they get. Some of my M colleagues are beginning to notice and giving the prod. I must confess it comes with some perks as I do appreciate how fast they process my requests/orders which a M colleague literally told me is biased. Recently one of them offered to bring me her cooked food and asked that I do the same..(Cont'd)

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says). Whenever I try to initiate, he always shuts me down and says he’s not in the mood. I even touch him and he gets hard but stops me as soon as I try to unzip him. We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭

My base location does not have a hot seat.

Should this not be the focus from HR side to get a seat allocated rather than pushing employees to report to a random office that have a seat.?

And On top of that we have to take care of our own commute even when we are in shifts.

Why is this unprofessional and unethical behaviour?
Why is an employee responsible for everything which the HR and PMO is supposed to do??
