Oh noooo....are your corworkers that bad?

Most everyone I work with makes 6 figures. Depending on the group size and whether they’re direct reports I contribute $10-$20.

It honestly depends but on average I would say about $20-$25/hour.

We are pretty much close so we give individual gift plus a group gift. As for the latter, I think around $20.

When we end up giving separate gifts, I typically spend around $20, but for group gifts, I think $10 is already more than enough.

I guess $10 to $15. It really depends on the item we're planning to buy for them. We usually just have someone do the canvassing and then we all just divide it equally.

Any advice on dealing with a particularly critical client? I’m confident in the work I and my partners do. I think we add value and are great at what we do. I have a client who just attacks everything I do and goes to my boss at the drop of a hat. I’m starting to experience significant anxiety every time I see an email from this person. This morning I woke up to another critical email to my boss with a copy to me. I’m at a loss and now questioning my work and concerned about my job.

For those who already have a baby - I (36f) just had a baby 6 weeks ago, and my wife (33F) is now back at work (WFH) and I’m still on leave. Since I have the baby all day and get up with her all night, my wife basically “takes over” baby duty when she stops working. The problem is that within an HOUR she has lost all patience with the baby. She gets frustrated so quickly if the baby is crying and will say things like “I’m just going to let her cry since nothing im doing helps” (cont)

Just a thought, perhaps the admin can pin two threads:

Advice needed. I’m leaving an incredibly toxic work environment (admin, students, parents, etc) for my dream job. I already resigned, but my students don’t know yet. I knew if I told them, their behavior would be even worse. How would you explain to the kids you’re leaving? I don’t want my P to know I’ve been hired elsewhere, so I don’t want to tell them I have a new position, but I also don’t want them to think they ran me off (or that I got fired, lol). I’m leaving next week.
