I lost a good friend because of a politics conversation. The weird part is that I agree with her on almost everything. I’m not really sure what I said but something really hit her the wrong way and she has completely ghosted me on everything. It’s been almost two months and I stay up thinking about it every night. She won’t answer on anything and I feel so heartbroken. I just want my friend back.

My experience: Very few friends are lost over politics. Generally it’s one of the others things listed here. If you’re being very honest with yourself, and trying to be empathetic with your friend. Would you and your friend both put your disagreement under the “ politics” category?

Politics : different tax policy, different approach to immigration, different opinion on school funding, different foreign policy approaches

Values: denying basic civil rights, discrimination, racism, bigotry, environment,

Religion : maybe it’s own category?

Anti science or anti truth : maybe it’s own category?

Just being a jerk or just incompatible : inconsiderate, not listening, un empathetic etc

Recently I got invited to an interview with a decent growing company. I work in Executive Search and I am thinking of switching to in-house recruiting.

Was I wrong to expect in-house recruiter to understand the differences and similarities between in-house-recruiting, professional search and retained executive search?

Hey! My company is giving me a new title (previously: Senior PMM, new: Global Lead of product marketing). The roles are very similar with no material change of responsibilities. it’s the result of a re-org. Also, I’ve been deemed a high performer and approaching my 1 yr review.

In any case, as I’m waiting on the official letter, they have been very vague that they’re will be a compensation increase. In fact, this hasn’t been presented as a promotion. How would you approach this conversation?
