I’m job hunting quietly, but it feels weird sitting in the office pretending everything’s normal while also sneaking out for “doctor’s appointments.” I’ve seen colleagues share that they’re interviewing and then mysteriously get sidelined. On the other hand, some people are totally transparent and somehow it doesn’t backfire. In entertainment, reputations can spread fast. Do you tell coworkers you’re interviewing, or keep it to yourself until you have an offer?

Never tell anyone. Loose lips tank careers. The only people who need to know you’re leaving are payroll and LinkedIn after you’re gone.

I wouldn't tell anyone, wouldn't trust someone to say something to someone higher up and it all goes badly. Everyone sneaks away and that's just how it is.

Then again, I used to work with someone who came in one day in a suit and publcily said he was going for an interview and no one cared about it!

How common are prenups in UK among middle-class? I'm thinking of asking my SO for one but I worry it would be viewed by anyone else as a one foot-out-the-door kinda situation. I'm just trying to be safe with little I have, seeing my friends' marriages.

Came here to say that I wish I could fully express to my non-parent colleagues how much their support has meant to me. I can cover for them when they have stuff so they can unplug, but I feel like they will never truly understand the gratitude when they offer to do a task for me when my kid is sick, etc. Any ideas on how to pay it forward?
