Agreed. Would be nice to have menstrual leave, even if it’s like a day. I usually just take a day around the same time each month - colleagues with periods can usually guess why.

3 years ago I spoke to our geo general manager, basically the CEO of the local legal entity.

I explained that I am in ridiculous pain on my period, so much pain that I cannot think straight. I explained that not all women suffer from the same conditions, which makes the experience so different for each and much easier for many other women.

He told me to NEVER work through pain again and if anyone were to ever question why I'm off, to send them to him directly. He personally will back me.

Today, I cannot believe I used to put myself through it. He is right. I can't come and die lol. Suffer for what? If I cannot even concentrate from pain, how could I work? Nah sis. Been taking breaks ever since. Cannot beliebe
Started kinda planning for it (no important meetings etc., WFH etc.) and now mostly no even noticed lol.

Also unpopular opinion but you should work with your obgyn if your period is so painful you can’t work/go about your day. As someone who has had a period for over 25 years, that is not normal…

Hi!
I have recently accepted a job with a company that doesn't have a great reputation, but means a great opportunity. Today, another company (which also represents a good opportunity, the role is a better fit, and has a great culture) has reached out to discuss compensation.

Is it too wrong to break my contract with the first company to take the opportunity in the second one if I ended up liking their offer?

I won't start in company A until next month, but I have signed the contract already.

Not proud of it, but I was hooking up with a co-worker/friend pre-COVID. I left the state when wfh started and we still talk every day, but nothing romantic. He made it clear at the beginning that he didn’t want to date because we’re co-workers. Stung a bit when I went on a dating app this morning and saw his profile. The rational part of me knows we’re only ever going to be buddies and that if he actually wanted me, then he’d make something happen. Looking for advice on how to get over this.
