I just started freelancing at an agency this week for a big holding company. Holy shit, it’s a mess. My contract is month to month but I do have another offer for longer and more pay. How do I delicately exit this situation and not burn the bridge forever? I am not worried about the agency, I just don’t want to be screwed with the holding company. I just know a dysfunctional team when i see it.

Can I use my personal IPhone with the Mac from Walmart? What are the restrictions that i may face?

For pregnant women who have had prior pregnancies/losses but no living children, do you consider yourself a FTM?

Does anyone have any insight into partners retiring early? I am at a point where I need to consider leaving if I am not aiming for partner. I don’t see myself working past my 40s.

I have been assured I will become SM in next year (currently 31 years old).

As long as I’m clear about my role is that acceptable?
