I’m not a big thanksgiving person. I’m not ungrateful, I kinda just go thru the motions. Except this past year had more motion than usual. Shit went bad. It hurt. I fell apart. One of my only stable forces was my job. I didn’t think about it at the time. I am now. It would be weird tell my team this, a lot of personal details would have to be explained, and I’d cry, so I’m saying it here instead. I am thankful for my team. I am thankful for my desk. I am thankful for the same meetings I complain about. Even when I’m only ‘responding without comments’, I’m still thankful.

💙 I'm sorry you went through a lot but I'm glad you have your team! And thank you for the reminder to be thankful for the things we do have. It's so easy to take things for granted.

Beautiful sentiment. Hope things get better. And I bet there’s a way to let your team know they mean a lot to you for having been there without getting into details.

This is so awesome. Teams are what make this industry bearable and lift us all up to go at it again the next day. Without a good team, life in general gets harder. I'm sorry you're having troubles, but I'm grateful you have that team to keep you grounded.

I was hired on with a company at the same time as my male coworker. We work the exact position, different projects.
I asked him flat out what his salary was when he hired on. His salary is at minimum 15% more. He’s never had a raise.
Neither one of us had any experience in this specific position but he didn’t even have experience in the field, which I did.
I requested a performance and salary review because it’s my annual review time anyway. Best way to address this? Also applying elsewhere.

Celsius has been great (mainly for the amazing MATIC returns), but I think I will significantly reduce my holdings here.

Google "celsius badger dao"

My concern with this platform has always been how they're engaging in DeFi to make profits with customer funds. That's how they offer things like "no fees on withdrawals" and APY rates above the competition. MATIC is becoming to valuable to risk leaving on this platform.

Security wise though, I think they're great and have no concerns there.

I am currently working on my MBA in a professional evening and weekend program at a highly accredited university. I am thinking about transferring to a much smaller private online program, specifically because they offer a concentration in organizational health, which directly builds on my doctoral research. Does great depth and specialization outweigh the value of a highly respected generalist degree?
