I always feel a little bad when colleagues in China and elsewhere have western names that they use professionally. Like, it’s very considerate but I really would like to show the respect of using your real name. (Off topic, haha, sorry!)

Put my 2 weeks in Monday 🥳 but I feel like my team is wanting me to complete a lot of stuff before I leave?? like new items on top of wrapping up/transitioning… tbh I wouldn’t care but I really like my coworker that they’re unfortunately going to pile a lot of my stuff onto when I leave - how do you balance helping but also being so unmotivated knowing you’re leaving?

Hi friends,

I'm a new joinee in MSFT.

People in my team they don't come with me for breaks. (They blame the timings are different since they sit in crits but i don't think so because they have their own group of friends to go with)

Secondly, when my team members see me in cafeteria we expect they'll sit with us but people here are being rude they directly go and sit with their friends they don't call you to join. ( atleast they could have said they are accompanied)

Since I’m relatively healthy, I’m not sure if this is the right plan for me or if an EPO or PPO makes more sense. Appreciate any insight - esp from folks who’ve gone through a similar situation.

I'm a female attorney in a small town where we have 2 other female attorneys and a few female doctors (vast majority are male). I've noticed a cliche among non professional women in this town (primarily lifestyle coaches, pyramid schemers, batistas, and spa workers). After talking to another female attorney in my town, she said she also noticed this and felt like some of these women felt intimidated so they excluded us or ignored us at social functions. Has anyone else experienced this?
