I can’t count how many meetings I’ve sat through where nothing was decided and no one was accountable. We talk in circles, agree to take it offline, and then… schedule another meeting. It eats hours of the week and leaves less time for actual work, but opting out feels risky. I don’t want to look disengaged or difficult, but I also don’t want my calendar owned by pointless calls. How do you push back on unnecessary meetings without hurting your reputation?

Hello! I’ve previously only dated white guys. While in quarantine I’ve gone on dil mil and made an effort with brown guys on apps. Surprised to find that many live at home or visit home often in mid 20s, are not financially independent, cannot cook for themselves etc. Is this typical? Or maybe it’s just the area I live in. Sorry if this came off as offensive, it just seems to be a pattern I noticed

I recently had a specialist partner send me a fairly nasty email after I (a transactional first year) was told to ask them to review something ASAP that had clearly been on my partner’s radar for over a week.
