I confess to being a fat kid on vacation eating ice cream sandwiched between a cookie and a brownie covered in Oreo bits. May need to ski a few dozen laps when I get home to make up for it

First business trip in 20 months. TSA agent yelled at me for nonsensical reasons. I almost cried. I was worried things would change, but they are just as dehumanizing as always. Felt like home.

Question to Leadership of PwC India - Do you think people would visit a hotel(4-6 PM) just for high tea?
No Lunch, No Gifts?
Why have you even wasted money in booking the hotel, just for high tea? Do you think, people would care about the townhall & go?, if you just give high tea?
Seriously man! I don't even know, why PwC is even coming under Big4! Shame!!

For those of you who made the switch to in house/corporate law, what was your experience like? Did you have to take a lower position to gain the experience or were you able to argue that your soft skills were transferable to in house? I’ve been in litigation for 15 years and I’m looking to make the switch. Ultimately, I’d like to get into Legal Ops, but feel getting some in house experience first would be beneficial.

I accept follow requests left & right without following back and without shame. What does this say about me besides that I and, let’s say Beyoncé, are generally very similar?

Hi All,
What is the market range of salary of an Assistant Manager in compliance (regulatory, Insider trading, AML) with 6 years of experience in a listed company?

31M here. Met a girl last week, 31F, and we hit it off instantly. We have so much in common and everything feels right, tomorrow will be our 3rd date. She slept over last night, no sex, but we made out all night. I haven’t felt like this for anyone in a while and it feels amazing, but I’m scared to commit. I have this fear of getting hurt or putting in effort only for it not to last.

Happy wife happy life is a really toxic saying. I’m just shocked how this has become the standard saying for men in relationships. I have friends of mine saying this all the time, and I have just thought it’s so cringe and always want to say my thoughts on it but always decide to hold back. However, imagine the saying reversed - happy husband happy life - that would lead to all kinds of uproar. To me happy wife happy life means I need to sacrifice my wants and needs to make my wife happy.

Every other Friday, I got these farewell emails from my long-time colleagues. I am sad yet I’m too lazy to look for another job.

I'm feeling a lot of anger towards my manager (now he's acting normal but there were moments where he was condescending/dismissive/mocked my and others work/arrogant/said stuff was "wrong" constantly/belittling the difficulty of tasks etc. in the past project).
Maybe it is "standard chewing out" but it bothered me a lot. So much that I find myself still getting all fired up inside thinking about it...
Idk how to let go of this :/ Thoughts?

Probably the least racy confession on here but I really liked Windows 8 and I'm sad there's nothing like it anymore

My career goal isn’t to make it to MBB or a unicorn or FAANG. It’s to feel fulfilled and challenged as I progress. I can’t be the only one that isn’t title or company chasing.

Is it bad luck to pawn a promise ring?

Went to a funeral today, wife’s oldest friend 42 non smoker, non drinker, did yoga and was a vegetarian and probably the nicest person I have met… went back to the house husband wanted a drink opened a top shelf bottle cause why not? Sometimes the stuff we discuss here is so trivial but what I remembered today is open the good stuff, enjoy it with people you love and tell them you love them. Tomorrow is not guaranteed

Why am I getting so many interview calls right after I accepted an offer 😫

Any fun awards I can use as inspiration for an “office superlative” kind of ceremony?

What is the difference between fetish and kink? I thought they were same.

The stress of this job ruined my life.
The stress has lead to an eating disorder that I can’t get control of. I’ve lost 25 pounds since starting at the firm two and a half years ago. I am 20 pounds less than I was in high school... I don’t know how to get control again. Even when the stress lays off I can’t eat more due to being used to being busy for almost 9 months out of the year...

I got into a small argument with my bf about our future and he said something along the lines that he thinks I don’t want this instead I want to want this. We have resolved the core issue which was mainly a misunderstanding but thinking back at it I think he’s right. I do very often feel like i want to want this because he loves me so much but I am not sure I actually want this …

Have a crush on my co-worker. He asked me out to go rock climbing one-on-one after we were texting for a while and I acted awkwardly when we went because I didn’t know if it was a date (nothing was explicitly said). Now I’m stuck in this weird limbo state where things have fizzled out but I’m re-reading texts and think he might’ve actually had a crush too and I pushed him away. Ambiguity sucks.

To all the divorced folks out there...

1) What went wrong in your relationship?
2) What's one piece of advice you'd give to us singletons before jumping into a long term relationship/marriage?

I like to learn from other people's mistakes 😅

I love a well behaved dog.

But dog hype and what dog owners get away with in terms of occupying human spaces, jumping on strangers with dirty paws, going to a friends house and having the dogs harass you for food, and obsession on the dating apps is next level obnoxious.

Dogs can be great, not a hater. But if you can’t control your dog you’re a massive piece of shit for imposing that on everyone else.
