Friend runs a company and hired a VP of Sales to help grow the business. Guy got some relocation $ and was supposed to start 2 months ago.

He hasn’t sent any proof to HR, has been requested twice claims he will but then doesn’t. And has pushed his start date back half a dozen times. How should I advice him to proceed?

Wrapping up maternity leave and negotiating start and end times with the nanny. What time do your nannies come over and how late do they stay?

For the attorney moms, how do you focus/prioritize work? I’m a recent-ish mom and have been back to work for about 2 years at two different firms in that time.

I always feel like I’m lacking in one department. Will it ever get better? Any tips or similar experiences welcome!
