I tested positive for COVID over the weekend which means my toddler most likely also Covid positive. I work from home/fully remote and I’m unsure how to approach my manager today. This means I can’t have my parents or nanny come by my home for a few days and I’m out of pocket for childcare in addition to not feeling my best. Looking for advice, fellow moms!! I feel guilty because I took a week off last month on vacation and now this happens

Please try to take at least today off. Explain your situation. So what if you took a week off recently? You’re sick. What’s your manager like?

However, I’m starting to feel stressed and disengaged. Any suggestions to make it through the changes?

I’m (early30s) about 8 months into a relationship with a 40m. Things are wonderful in every aspect, but he is absolutely atrocious with his finances. I felt it becoming an issue about two months ago. He forgets about auto payments and just generally doesn’t care. I sat down with him and looked at everything and even after talking it out he still continues to stress and it’s now causing me stress. I had a final discussion with him today about it and he went on abt how love isn’t enough for me…

I've been working at this company for about 3.5 weeks now. Its been great so far.

We have an org chart in our dashboard ATS/HRIS and so I clicked on my first day buddies name just for fun.

I was able to see her entire employee file..even her address. I was really freaked out and I went to another profile and the same thing happened, I was able to see this person's emergency contact. Is this fucking normal? Should I say something and will I get in trouble for looking at a colleagues file?
