I had someone from school flame and unfriend me on Facebook because I said jobs are the best way to help someone go from low income to self-sufficient. And this was after I had her child in school and was told I was a great teacher.

Just started a new job a couple of weeks ago and also today found out my wife's pregnant. When is an appropriate time to tell my new boss? Company policy asks for 3 months notice but it's a growing startup. What does everyone think is appropriate?

Is it a bad look to put in your notice after coming back from a maternity leave? Would it burn bridges or not a big deal?

Debating when to have the first baby… would you say having a baby is totally worth it ? Worth all the struggles and sacrifices? Or should I wait an extra year just to save more money and enjoy life now without the extra sacrifices… (female 27 & want to have 2 kids)

Anyone else find themselves getting extremely stressed at work during pregnancy? It’s like my emotions are just off and I get so stressed so easily. I want to be calm for baby but it’s hard to not get worked up!

How do you communicate with your parents? How often?

Boyfriend and I have been fighting a lot for a while. He broke up with me, but then we decided to try to make it work after we talked. I don’t want to end my relationship. Any ideas how to save and salvage a relationship on the bricks of ending

Do you have many LGBT friends and do you necessarily care if you do or don’t? I have one gay friend who I catch up with occasionally and I think my husband has two. I never really cared either way about it, however I feel like I’m at that point where you primarily make new friends through existing ones, and they are having children and making other “parent” friends. Between that and living in a SFH neighborhood in the suburbs, I’ve changed my viewpoint over the last few months.

Hi i lost majority of my money in the stock market. I married and promised my family that I will not make the mistake I made 7 years ago. Gambling. Is this an addiction I have. I keep selling stocks and taking loses buying other stock hoping it will recover but never did and sell again taking loses and buy again. It now sink in to me. I borrow personal loan hoping that the market will do k and I pay it back but I even lost that. I can't stop crying that I hurt the one I love the most my family.

How can I make friends in Chicago?

Been seeing a guy for the past few months. Went to watch a movie on Netflix last night and saw that my ex is in a new series. Talk about mood killer. Now I can’t stop thinking about him 😞
He tends to pop in to my head at least once a month. How can I move past this?

Working at a hospital with a million programs and services. When is developing an independent brand for a group justified, and when should it remain part of the parent brand?

Anyone watching Indian Matchmaking? Aparna and her mother have to be the worst, right? She thinks she's a godsend and quite frankly she looks like a potato, is ignorant, doesn't sound nearly as intelligent as she professes to be, and is even more negative than I am! That's gotta say something.

Do you think using “him/her” for “he/she” (ex: “her is playing” “him not here yet”) is something that kids usually grow out of? Or does it need direct intervention? I have 2 students who exhibit this error, who otherwise should be dismissed. Normally I’d just keep them on and work on it alongside other goals, but they don’t have any other goals, and with COVID, and my upcoming maternity leave in March, a more compact caseload would be advantageous.

Family luddites ask about my work and immediately behave annoyed when I start to answer.

What are your best tips when letting an expecting parent know we will not be revising the parental leave policy for them (but we understand they think it’s not good enough)

Hey Portland!!!
Wondering cost of living in and around portland?
I’m thinking about moving from SF to Portland for a great job salary starting around 90k. I’m 30 years old with 1 child who lives with his mother.

How many couples here where the husband/male SO is younger than the wife/female SO? And what if the age difference.
To start..I'm 34 and wife is 36.

Well, I was the one who broke it off. I couldn’t get him to love me the way I needed or even respect me enough. It’s been 6 weeks of not seeing each other. We messaged this week. He doesn’t get it…. His messages show he still doesn’t know what he wants. Yet, if I am totally honest, I hate how part of me wishes he would do a grand gesture/finally decide to be a better man. It’s delusional. It’s crazy how love can be so rosy, sweet & blinding that the red flags seem surmountable.

I've got some friends who work remote jobs, and every day I grow more jealous of them during my one-hour commute.

Typical day for Credit risk business analyst BA4?

If your agency wins a proportionally significant new account, what is a reasonable amount of time client should allow for staffing up and onboarding?
Follow up q… how strict is your agency about starting work before contracts are signed?

I just finished what I thought was the final round of interviews for a job that I really want. Everything has been going extremely well. The recruiter just called to tell me that they want me to do one more round, though. This will make 8 interviews total, including a full case study presentation to 4 people. Should I be worried? Is this a red flag?

I enjoy being asked for samples when I featured my website 3 times through email. In the body, my signature and my resume. I spend 100~/year on it. It has my entire portfolio... 😒😒😒

On the verge of turning an hourly client into a retainer. Any tips?

Anyone looking for a good accountant for freelancers? (I have one.)

Friendly reminder folks- don’t work for Havas Health and You. They cut the freelancers hourly rates, again and made it so there’s no OT. The resource manager at HOV said if I couldn’t swing $80 an hour as an HCP copywriter, she’d have to find someone else. Good luck 👍🏻

Hey guys it’s my first freezing winter, if I’m going to take my dog out when it’s under 27 do you she needs to wear something on the paws? If yes than what?

Going to MDRT for the first time next month. Any advice on how to pack? What is the dress code like? It’s in Miami.

I don’t have a horse in this fight

I took a marketing class, and my professor said “nothing is free, if you are given something for free than YOU are the product “

How many of you would feel safer if teachers were allowed to have guns in school? Assume for this conversation that there would be adequate training and guns were kept in safes.

Why does it seem like most democrats are eager to hop aboard the liberal train over ONE agenda? It's like they feel very strongly about something, which is fine this is America and that's your right! But then they agree with EVERYTHING that's liberal or follows alongside their party line. These people NEVER have a good thing to say about anyone involved in politics who are conservative? I am a big Trump fan and even I can't do that.

I haven't been on here for months. Just got caught up in life and this crazy year. I am so glad to see many more of you have joined this group, because I don't know about you, but I am surrounded by people at work who think the opposite of the way I do. And right now, there is so much going on that I am terribly upset about and cannot talk about it at work unless I seek out the few who are conservative and have my values. Glad we have found each other here!

Not necessarily a Trump personality fan but putting America first should be our priority. My Trump votes were votes for conservatives and against the elitist Hillary and vegetable Joe. The left has done nothing but create chaos. Luckily, I work in a conservative area. Most of my colleagues are right leaning.

Thank GOD I've found my people! It is SOOO hard to talk freely about things going on right now. Those of us at my school who support Trump, do so as if we're in "underground" communications with hushed tones while scoping out our environment.

How many of you are open about your political leanings with colleagues? With students? How many of you just keep your head down and keep your political ideas to yourself?

Hi everyone! I started this bowl as a safe space for conservative teachers who feel marginalized in an increasingly liberal environment. I have been called every name in the book for my political ideology and have been ostracized by colleagues I’ve known and been friends with for years. This is a please to have respectful and honest conversations about our experiences. WELCOME!

In another bowl, it was stated that conservatives don’t believe in science, facts, or reality. It still surprises me how misrepresented we are (even though I have seen the media clips that brainwash their viewers). How can we set them straight when they have already been programmed to tune us out?

Post Columbus Day hangover.

Happy and proud to be one of Donald Trump's people as well! Bless him, bless us all, and may God bless the United States!

Check out my bowl. Teenage art. I take pictures of little artworks the kids leave around the building. Most stuff is offensive, but I figure you people can handle what kids draw on bathroom stalls.

I'm done with this app. People are talking about that parents don't have the right to know if their kid wants to be called by a different pronoun and keeping things from parents. Makes me sick. I told them they're all fucked in the head. So I'll be booted soon. Good knowing some of you. Peace.

I'm so happy to see this group. I can count on one hand how many President Trump supporters are in my school.
