Is it better to live in a good apartment with decent school district or live in an average apartment with good school district. it’s hard finding anything around 1600 near Philly. Should I find a place which is more expensive and sacrifice standard or living? Thoughts ?

Are your kids school age? Then the schools should matter more than the apartment.

Has anyone switched labs for better lab quality/embryologist experience? Wondering if there is a significant difference between labs.

Wondering if the lab quality is the reason or if the clinic handles complicated cases that lead to lower outcomes. Overall, unsure if we should switch clinics or just try again at the current one. Thanks.

Last week at an office meeting the office manager, in front of everyone, without my knowledge beforehand, announced that I was the only person in the office eligible for a senior position.

They aren’t offering an increase in base pay and giving me the responsibility of management without the title. Yesterday, I received a PIP is this retaliation?
