I had someone ask me today, “Can you keep this confidential?” Then proceeded to name every single person involved, the exact location, dates, screenshots, and witnesses. Babes… this is now an investigation 😭... Ever started with a conversation and find yourself in the middle of an investigation?

How did you answer the question, “Can you keep this confidential?”

like

I always answer every conversation that begins "Can you keep this confidential" or "This is off the record" with "If what you are going to tell me is unlawful or a violation of Company policy, I am obligated to investigate or report it." I would never ensure complete confidentiality unless the employee were discussing a medical or other protected matter.

Anyone else notice how ever since that research came out that said performance reviews are BS, HRs everywhere have been saying “We don’t do a traditional performance review.”

Went from a big firm to work for a smaller firm. The people in the smaller firm are protective of their work and are good by their work too. I no longer feel chaos or stress. I am treated with respect and my schedule is more normal. I am even working more billable hours than before, but it feels like a seamless experience. I don’t work then past 5pm or anything out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I am so grateful!

I might get roasted for asking such a basic question but - how much do you budget for eating out ($ amount or % of budget)?

Pre pandemic I was traveling 5 days a week and just used left over per diem on the one night I went out with friends at home. During covid I stayed home. Now that I’m fully vaccinated and are many of my friends they want to go out to eat/drink. During covid I moved from a LCOL to here so I’m experiencing delayed sticker shock at the prices. Any tips?
