I thought I had a manager with zero emotional IQ. But I’m starting to realize that they’re malicious and I’m being gaslit. I’ve been dealing with the tragic death of my only family member. I’ve had CDs that were caring. That saw when you were overworked or were in a partnership where you were carrying someone. In this situation, I can’t even get normal empathy for an extreme tragedy unless I breakdown. Cry. Beg. It all feels like an incredibly cruel game to assert their power. Any advice?

Any primary care physician recommendations in the Alexandria/Arlington area?

We have signed a night nanny. Maybe it’s my hormones, but I start to worry that the nanny may get sick during her daily activities and pass it to the newborn.

I don't want to be great. It's not in my plans to strive for greatness and be remembered outside of my family. I'm 100% ok doing what needs to be done to take care of myself and family without pushing myself to be the next great whatever. No awards, no Forbes features, no top employee call outs. I'll do my job and do it well and then I log off for the rest of the day!

I feel like the parts of ADHD that don't suck aren't talked about that much (and I need a reminder, desperately).

If I'm really locked in, I can get a serious amount of work done fast. feel free to add yours (please lmao💀).

I’ve had issues since high school, but just formally got diagnosed with ADHD. I’ve always managed to get by okay at work (I’m no super star), but remote meetings have been really difficult for me and I now feel like I’m barely hanging on. Trying meds now, but no benefits yet. Pros and Cons of disclosing the diagnosis to my team, partner, or firm? I’m torn.

Additionally, I'm worried whether Innosight's exit opportunities are slimmer than IBM. Would anyone have some advice on what I should pick / how I should think about this?

My parents got incredibly angry and threatened to “end up in the hospital” and “disown” me after I told them I want to marry my partner, who comes from a different religion. My partner is amazing and I can’t imagine loving anyone this deeply, and feeling so safe with them. But I also love my parents and they’ve done so much for me. I don’t know how to cope with this.

While all that is happening, we’re working on a huge initiative at the agency and our client has been super anxious about it. That anxiety is coming down stream so I’m trying to do my best as the PM to alleviate the team’s concerns.

And today, I found out I got a raise.
