I don’t think hippa applies to a voluntary support group.

I would definitely go. It is hard to relate to a support group when you have nothing similar going on, in my opinion. But it's great to have a group where there are educators only so that we can share our experiences. Especially in these trying times

Group confidentiality is always stressed among participants. Other than that I’m not sure what you mean by hippa protected.

I’m referring to a voluntary support group. No medical information discussed unless the participant reveals their own med info. HIPAA is related to privacy. If the participant talks about themselves, it’s not a hipaa violation.

No. I don’t trust that my privacy would be kept. I would seek my own therapist.

I get that. A therapist is a great choice as well.

Hello there. I have been interviewing with Okta and got through all 5 rounds of interviews. They say they want to offer me the job but there is a global freeze for all marketing roles at the company. They want to offer me a contractor role instead. Does anyone here know if that is the case? I haven't heard anything as they seem be on wellness week. Thanks for any guidance :)

I am not so much worried about getting sued, but about my current employer tanking my reputation if I leave and break the non compete.
