Okay, the “Work Mom” thing is annoying. If she were a dude, you’d call her a boss or mentor. No one has a “Work Dad.” Don’t play her like that.

Possibly arises bc I loathe when agencies take powerful female CDs and introduce them as the “Team Mom.” My last ECD was a badass award winning inspiration, and everyone better address her as such 😂

I am a work dad, sort of. that’s our joke, it’s our sign of mutual respect.

My actual wife is the one who refers to my female AD partner as my work wife. It’s always seemed like a fun little bit of banter. Didn’t realize this was a negative thing 🤷🏻‍♂️

Both of your wives are cool! Hopefully you treat both of them well or you’ll be in double trouble hehe

I think it’s weird too. It makes the relationship inherently have a sexual undertone to it. I feel it’s inappropriate.

It only has a sexual undertone because you give it one.

Half of the problem is that I “onboarded” remote and the onboarding was TERRIBLE. The other thing is that there is no process and I’m on a team full of managers who have spent 15 years at this company and have no availability to talk to me with a day full of meetings. I’d prefer not to quit without a backup but I cry every day.
