I have a PwC Pride sticker, but am afraid to put it on my laptop or water bottle because I don't know how receptive my team or clients will be. Do you guys wear pride gear at werk?

I have it on the back of my phone and usually leave it face up so people are aware I’m gay and won’t tolerate homophobic comments. It’s happened before but never with my trusty sticker

You don’t know how people will react. Focus on doing a kickass job at what your team and client hired you for. If it ever comes up, use judgment on whom to come out to. I have a very conservative team, based in a small town far from the DC area, and a conservative client. Maybe in DC I’d have a different perspective.

Yikes. Sounds awful

I don’t - but don’t see why it would be an issue! It’s a general support of Pride sticker! Go for it.

I'm pretty careful about it. people can push out their micro aggressions and not even realize it. They'll start to pick apart your work for no reason. Just be careful as to how you share stuff and know your audience. I've learned that the hard way. 😖

Any advice on how to tastefully tell your manager that you no longer want to be a charge nurse anymore? For us being in charge is having full assignment 3p-7p & being responsible for assigning pts , communicating w/ supervisor about various issues, making the assignment for next shift, and a mini report about each pt for the next charge. On the weekends, same responsibilities but 7a-7p. We don't get any additional pay for being in charge and I'm sick of the added responsibility and stress of it.

My client wants both parties to list assets & liabilities as an exhibit to their prenup without values, but waive the right to know the actual valuation of those in the prenup itself.

I will research in my jurisdiction to confirm, but has anyone ever heard of/done this? Thoughts?
