If your agency ever announces unlimited vacation time...consider this upload

My SO is always adjusting our lives to accommodate his family - from our holiday plans, to where we may settle down, etc. however whenever he needs help he reaches out to my family.

Received a job offer at a consulting firm as a data analytics consultant for $20k more than I am making now. I am torn on taking the job offer because my manager told me I was getting promoted at the end of the year to a data analyst.

Hi Ppl - I was feeling really disheartened and bad about something so thought will ask this group how you cope with it. I have worked at my job for 7 years and I have been passed for promotions for 3 years now. I can see there is a visible gender discrimination and things are not going the right direction anytime.
