I read this recently https://hbr.org/2021/06/employees-are-lonelier-than-ever-heres-how-employers-can-help and just not sure I'm ready to believe that companies are responsible for people's loneliness. If I'm lonely, I talk to my friends, family, loved ones. I don't look to my boss at work and ask them to solve my loneliness problem. Thoughts?

Can a relationship survive with two tops/bottoms? I met a guy I really liked but we are… on the same side

Hi! Have any here gone the natural cycle IVF route? What was your experience like? Did you have success in growing your family this way? Would you recommend it to others?

I’ve been in a relationship now for two years. We are living together. We talk about the future etc. I could easily see myself marrying her. However, I have an issue… cont

Losing my self esteem and self confidence that I am not able to recognize humans. Anyone can come I my life , fool me and screw up my life, ruin it. Upset about why I’m emotional person.

My wife and I just had our second child, and we have also been dealing with her cervical cancer diagnosis. It has been a stressful year, to say the least. I want to do something nice for her, but money is tight right now because of the cancer treatment costs, and her being on unpaid leave because of the cancer treatments. What is something low cost I can do that will be a nice “couples thing” so we can de-stress, but also make her feel special?

Chicago or New Jersey?? Married couple, no kids.

I think I’m ready to be a housewife. So tired of this 9 to 5 grind 😩😵‍💫🤧

Edit: it’s more like 24/7 now

I have pretty strong social phobia and am worried about making friends. I'm going to be working for an engineering company so I imagine I don't have to be really up on the latest trends or anything but how can I talk to people without making it sound unnatural?

Just found out my boyfriend of 3 months (talking stage was about 6 months before making it official) slept with his ex a couple times while we were talking. After we agreed to be exclusive. Without protection. I’m so crushed 😞

My girlfriend and I have been in a long distance relationship for 8 months now. We talk every single day online and recently I went to visit her for around a month. It was great and it seemed like the relationship was stronger than ever. But one week back after visiting her, I felt a strange detachment from her and our conversation topic got repetitive and stale quick. Any advice?

Does anyone have family members who constantly demand money because they feel like you’re rich now because you’re a lawyer? I’ve always wanted to be in a position to help my family but we all live in the high COL city so my salary doesn’t carry me as far as it would elsewhere. I’ve given a detailed summary of all of my expenses yet every month one family member in particular comes to me for rent money (not some, the full amount, and they refuse to get a job). It has become quite the burden.

Do you think marriage is necessary? Why do we need the law to regulate the relationship? Isn't being committed emotionally enough? Would like to get different perspectives from both women and men.

During family prayer - my mom takes nearly 40 minutes every single time (this is 2x a day, morning and night). She speaks a different language and I barely understand. How can I lovingly tell her to take less time?

My SO adds very little to our relationship. She has a dead end job. I cook. I work. I oversee finances. I plan trips. She doesn’t have a voice in the relationship. I’ve asked her to give her perspective but she always defaults to mine bc she thinks I’m smarter/worldly. She feels intimated by me and my social circle. Lately, I’ve found myself thinking for her. Anticipating her wants and needs and then adjusting my behavior to meet them. Which she appreciates but it’s frustrating 29M 27F

This is an emotional dump rn. It may be lack of social interaction but I'm really frustrated lately. I feel like I lost last 2.5 years of my life with ongoing lockdowns and job instability in the first half of the pandemic. I was 28 turing 31. I get good dates but -ve self talk
Inflation is high & coming from a low income family where you're supposed to help your parents is driving me nuts. Although I make a good salary, after rent, car insurance, there isn't much left (unfav currency exchange)

AITA? If my SO of 1 year wants to get a dog, do I get an opinion? We don’t live together

HELP! 30+ years of teaching Sped and I’m at a loss. 6th grade student in Middle School with Doose syndrome. Prior to MS, the elementary said he never caused problems. Since the 1st day, he is disruptive in class, refuses to work, and is disrespectful. He has a one-on-one para but she is in tears most days because of his behavior. Parents agreed with a behavior plan - he thinks it’s a game. Parents say he is not allowed to be this way at home.

So we’re going back in Sept. or what? 🤡

I have to have an official ADA convo with HR about requesting to continue to WFH and not move back to NYC. Has anyone gone through this process?

Has anyone’s company moved their return to office date FORWARD? Curious to hear of anyone’s experience

Email from leadership last week. We can go back as soon as 7/5 with permission. Had to let our boss know. Phase 1 will begin in July and go through end of Sept, provided schools are re opened. Future phases will be announced at a later date. So, I guess at this point in time, things are still up in the air.

I have a friend at IBM who let me know they will be hybrid, only in office as needed. Not sure when that new policy is starting though

Am very curious to hear about people’s companies’ hybrid plans! (If they have one).

My company will be in the office 1-3 days per week starting in September. They have made it very clear that the future of work is hybrid

I hate politics, which means I suck at Office Politics. Any advice, learning experiences, or insight for someone who knows he has to be better at it?

Is there anyone going back full time? If so, when? Curious to hear thoughts on that if you are returning to the office 5x per week

Anyone won the battle when being told you have to return to office but you want to stay remote? Not particularly interested in compromising considering I’ve been remote my entire tenure here, but they’re really trying to force it on us. All tips welcome. Background: no one on my working team lives in the same office, I’m just at the US HQ.

Deloitte is remote until at least Sept 6, you can only access offices earlier with express permission. Some limited travel is occurring to client site prior to then.

Thanks for this bowl, Bowl Leader! Anyone hear any news within Accenture?

Is anyone’s company shifting to a hybrid in office/wfh model?

Just got return to office email. People can start coming in 6/1 but still limited access. Seems like September will be a more official return. They’ve said 75% of us will remain hybrid wfh/in office after that (NYC)
