HR question. When switching companies and the new company has a 30 day waiting period before health insurance starts, how do y'all handle insurance coverage? Cobra wouldn't be an option as resigning doesn't qualify.

Worked out religiously my entire life. Always been + - 5 lbs. Got vertigo and took a break for a solid 7 months. 15 lbs later, I’m finding it hard to fuel my workouts while cutting carbs. Any recco’s?

Does anyone here have a Garmin watch? If you do, How do you like it? Looking to get my dad one and wondering if it is better than an Apple Watch (which he already has). Looking at the Fenix 6 model. He needs it more for health, heart rate, step tracking etc. Thank you!

COVID is a finance issue, a health issue, a race issue, a climate issue, its all together a shit show.

Has anyone had success reducing or getting off stimulants? I been on vyvanse for 10 years and now at a pretty high dose (60mg). I feel fine when I take 60mg but my concern is if I don’t take that much I feel barely functional and I don’t want to go any higher in future years. Not taking on weekends basically requires me to just lay in bed all weekend.

Hi fishes.
In a situation where my L4 and L5 are being toxic to me and is getting me into depression. How can I fight this and which forum to complain?

So does the bloating ever end? 🤣

Also, a more serious question. Was anyone here eating at a caloric deficit before they got pregnant? If so, at what point did you stop? My first appt isn’t for another a few weeks and I’m curious. I know weight gain isn’t crucial until 2nd trimester, but I’m curious about weight loss now. I know some people tend to be sick for a lot of their 1st trimstester and end up losing weight anyway. 🤔

Hi everyone! New to the bowl. I have major ADHD, and have been on and off medicine. Although the medicine (adderal) helps me, I get VERY moody, mean, and easily irritated. I get so mean and moody that my boyfriend and I almost break up every time. Any suggestions on how to deal with this side effect while on adderal?

Looking to start Pilates and boxing. Any recommendations?

I work in the Covid designated ICU. I was getting my vaccine and the person giving me vaccine asked If I ever got it. I said no and he was really surprised! So many of nurses on my unit have gotten it. I didn’t know how to respond as to why I haven’t gotten it,

I am being advised by my colleagues and friends in consulting that I need to see a therapist. It isn’t for any mental health reason per se, but for professional social capital. Apparently, I need to be relatable to the professional class and talk about my therapy experiences. Is this really a thing? Is not having a therapist like showing up green with an Android?

Has anyone bought an e-bike? Considering buying one with my firm’s fitness subsidy, is it worth it for someone who would mostly ride in good weather recreationally/for fitness (not commuting on it or anything) maybe once or twice a week?

I'm a retail employee, and I've noticed that a lot of my colleagues are really stressed out. They're often working long hours, and they don't feel like they can take time off when they need it. I'm worried about my own mental health. Is this what all retail is like?

Have any of you used genetic labs like Delta Leaf or farmer freeman? Worth it or just hype?

I’m starting a new job on Monday with confirmed PTSD and anxiety. Any advice?

Hi Chicago Fish! I’m new here. Did anyone hear of Shure awarding media buying duties? Did anyone participate in that RFP?

How is company JLL?

Are there any remote career judicial clerk positions? Any positions kind of like that going remote?

How do you have a conversation with someone that makes an unknowingly inappropriate or insensitive comment that not only impacts you but others around your office?

When is it appropriate, if ever, to throw a coworker under the bus? Came back from vacation to a mountain of work because the associate covering just disappeared. Now, I’m drowning

I need advice. I met an amazing guy on a dating app. We talked for 4 months and most of the convo was sexual. I fell so hard for him and it was because when we met up in person he was so kind, caring, and respectful towards me. He never initiated conversation with me first, but if I messaged him, he would respond back immediately. Then after 4 months he ghosted me on the app we were talking on. I texted him and he told me he had a gf. I am completely heartbroken. What kind of behavior was this?

I joined in June 3rd week. Do I have to fill for appraisals? If yes, where?

Fish, how many years did it take after your MBA to double your pay (in consulting)?

What do people do about travel contact solution? I run out of the small bottle so fast and have to keep buying since I’ve been traveling a lot

Has anyone a online masters of data science, can recommendations?

I think people who don’t get the vaccine out of choice are dumb. Is anyone in the medical community saying to not get the vaccine?

Sometimes I step away from the laptop to take a quick nap. Log back on in a hour or so, hoping for the work to be already completed.

For M+ folks (or the equivalent level at your firm) - what is your favorite thing about working in consulting? What keeps you going and motivated?

Hey Friends,

This is PwC AC specific question.

If I'm on bench, Can I charge self learning hours and watching recording of technology related trianings to L&D code?
Or all the 8hrs shall be charged to bench only?
Or Can I charge all the 8hrs to L&D?
Do it make any difference or causes problems ?

I have recently joined the firm. Thanks.

My friend's husband gets $580k as a Software Engineer in the Bay Area. Is that common?

For freelancer that work with multiple clients at once. Do you have any tools to manage calendars across different emails? Ideally, when I get a meeting invite from one client it would block my availability on my other accounts.

Is Kilburn still stabby? Looking for flats in London whilst still in 🇺🇸 with a meagre budget of £1750 and there are so many cute places there.

So I worked from home yesterday and my husband had a sneak peak on my meetings with clients (which I’m very new to being a senior). He mention that I should read some sales pitch books of some sorts so I can get a process down and not be drain from having genuine conversations with every client. I think it’s a great idea. Anyone have thoughts or recommendation?

Ortho sales reps look like they could be the next contestants on the Bachelor. 💀💀

During a recession, is it safer to work in energy (like Exxon Mobil for example) or in cyber security?

*Sends specs sheet to client to clearly indicated the creative length we accept (15-60s)*

Me: 🤦‍♂️

Co-worker 1: why are you so mean?

Co-worker 2: I’ll try being nicer if you try being smarter. Deal?

Me👂👂to 1 + 2: 😬🍿😂

This meeting was so unproductive it could not even have been an email.

Biggest pet peeve in the office? I’ll go first. I’m really sensitive to scents so I hate when people eat lunch at their desk. It’s even worse if I’m a new employee, cuz it’s like, are you on lunch or are you working?? Can I ask you a question or not? I always take my lunches away from my desk and other people who didn’t volunteer to smell it. Anyway though. What bugs you?

Female software dev: I’m going to have nightmares about his pickle. Radio silence: someone posts lol in chat. Awkward all around.

Elderly account woman who wears flip-flops to work, I want to throw my shoe at you.

Bring your kids to work day edition:

“What I’m really concerned with is a head injury”

“Do you have to go potty before your meeting?”

“Do you think art directors look at images online for inspiration?”

I’ve been working at this company for a year now and they’ve recently gone through a merger with another company. Now there are two sets of C level leadership. Everything is confusing and I feel like employees are being left in the dark. I asked someone in HR for some information as to Wage tables etc and haven’t received a response in over a month. There is no way of telling if this person even works here anymore!

More details in the comments…

Intense meeting: Senior manager - I have never worked in a project like this where we roll over the team leads’ plans and force them to accommodate like this! More senior manager: - Well you have never worked with me before

I used to get lit on LITS (Long Island Iced Tea) ummmm you didn’t use lit correctly. But I’m starting to use the word extra correctly. LOL #facepalm

Coworker 1: “Happy Friday!” Coworker 2: “Can we just like not anymore please. Sorry, but come on.”

"You're great, but just a little too much personality to work on this client." Welp... 👋

2nd month into current job at an SME.
Culture is weird to say the least.
Owner’s wife is in charge of HR.
Broke the meeting room door when opening it.
Colleagues are saying I should draft a letter of apology and offer to compensate if I’m planning to stay in this company.

A little background on why they’re saying that. There was once a stain on the carpet of their previous office. The employees were made to fork out the bill for the cleaning.

Continued in the comments.

Any feedback about Landing company ? They called me for an interview but I see awful reviews by former employees.
