(2/2) without actually “coming out”. I am a woman dating both men and women. Generally I haven’t had any bad reactions. A few “oh I didn’t know you dated girls” but other than that people have been pretty chill. Maybe it is because I am based in Europe 🤷‍♀️ I don’t really understand why the coming out needs to be a big deal at work?

I think the experience definitely varies depending on your location and the people you work with. Being queer is still criminalized in many places, and some company/client cultures still don't acknowledge or celebrate it, making it uncomfortable for people to mention casually. Glad that you are feeling safe enough to express yourself! 😊

Had fun but no hookup. 2nd time we hooked up (both tested for antibodies) because we both just wanted to out of immense loneliness and cant go out on a date. Texting reduced suddenly(from daily to none). I was still nice about it, asked if he wants to not talk &.

One of the most frustrating things is having the partner “de-prioritize” your deal. They stop responding to questions, take forever to review things you’ve sent them and act annoyed when you try to follow-up. Does anyone else experience this?

Whenever customers call the front desk, it seems like the receptionist always forwards them to my number even though I have reminded him there are several other people who are also supposed to answer the phones.

I need to vent. I officially feel DEFEATED in my job search. I’ve been searching for over two years! I’ve had a handful of interviews with companies that don’t come close to my currently salary. I made it all the way through Meta and Amazon interview loops and I didn’t make the cut. Those hurt bad as both those companies require all day interview sessions. A total of 10 interviews at each company. I feel I may never get out of consulting 😢
