I struggled most when expectations changed depending on the day or the mood in the room.

I can relate to that. I often exist in a state of constant anxiety because I just know the goalposts are going to be moved. No matter how much I get done, it somehow won't be enough. In a weird way, by accepting that it's going to happen I don't feel as discomposed by it. It's the not being surprised that I find helpful.

I really appreciate you sharing that. The moving goalposts part resonates a lot, especially how it creates anxiety even when you’re doing everything right. It’s interesting (and telling) that emotional protection ends up coming from bracing yourself rather than being supported. You’re not alone in that.

It affects me a lot too

Sorry to hear!

According to California Law, employers must pay unused vacation. Each year, we are given 33 days of holidays, no accrual. I was just laid off and my employer only paid half of my vacation because it’s mid year. Is this legal?

In hibob it says I had 32.5 days accrued.

Thanks for your help!

Have you talked about your wedding with coworkers? I made the mistake of saying I had to leave work a little early one day because I was going to do a tasting at my venue. That starts a debate on why one shouldn’t get married, how much wedding costs & what a waste it is, dresses are stupid because you only wear them once, etc. I haven’t talked about my wedding much, but I didn’t appreciate this. I ignored the negative comments and we moved the conversation along. Not talking about that anymore!

Would you say Austin’s real estate market will go through a correction in 2022? I am considering there in a few months (wife and 3 kids) from a normal-priced city. While we can afford a house there, I am scared of getting into an extremely risky investment seeing such fast growing prices in 2021. I’ve read both bull and bear scenarios online and I’d like to get some “Bowl’s” thoughts. Thanks!
