Im so sick of being shamed for feeling comfortable. You know what kind of f*cking privilege to be able to have that feeling? To be able to feel a sliver of confidence in not only knowing you’re getting a paycheck every two weeks and you have work to keep you busy but that affords you to feel less stressed about allll the other things in your life? In this economy and time of our lives of this industry? I’ll take all the comfort thank you very much.

"I'm tired of other people's misfortune causing me to experience mild discomfort as I prefer to bask in my privilege uninterrupted." - how you sound. I'm happy for your position and have no I'll will, but gratitude and empathy are not mutually exclusive. Shame is a self-inflicted feeling that you have to figure out for yourself, not everyone else on your behalf.

There's nothing to be ashamed of. This is the result of luck meeting preparation. We don't start from the same place. That's life. Receive, accept and be grateful.

Need your help 🐠 I feel like I‘m always sick (flue like symptoms ~2x per month). The doctors either just treat the symptoms or give me referral for a specialist for one or more symptoms, I feel like I‘m getting nowhere with that. Any advice on what tests I can ask for that helped you in the past? Any recommendations for a more complete checkup in Manhattan (ideally covered by most insurances)? TIA!

So, recently got put on a PIP after six months at my new job., two days after I told my boss and HR I recently learned I have a cognitive disability caused by an illness. The PIP was mostly because I forgot some deadlines, but also they said I need to be more professional in emails (even though others use zero punctuation and a lot of emojis. To clients.) and simultaneously ask more questions and ask fewer questions. Should I just assume this is unattainable and look for a new job again?
