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?

You cannot feel guilty for taking a vacation and / or becoming sick. The system is stacked against you

Hello everyone!
I recently found out that I was being paid less than everyone in the team (more than 25% gap to more expe teammates, around 15% less than new hires)
We all had the same responsibilities, I consider I even had a heavier workload (talking in past tense since I very recently made an internal move).
Things to consider:
On a work visa
Non-white
Non-male
What would you recommend doing?
Keeping it to myself?
Speaking up? How? With who?

-TIA

I feel like it’s reasonable to not kill myself further to fit in more/turn things around faster at this point, but am I being unreasonable? I expect my workload to remain at this level through the end of the year at least.

Hi all, I interned at IBM Cloud this past summer and had an overall very positive experience. I’ve received an offer from IBM consulting to come in as an Associate Offering Manager. The offer is 77k base + 10k signing bonus. From my point of view, this is a strong offer, but not quite what I was aiming for. I’m in my final year of school and will have a B.S. in Information Systems & Business Analytics. Is this a good offer? Or should I look elsewhere?
