Speak to the office manager, see if they can send an email around about personal hygiene, and a reminder of the facilities available for those running, cycling or long walk into work. Maybe they will get the hint

Maybe don’t name a specific person! Controversial but I think it’s fair to say there is a smell in the office and it impacts your productivity.

You should tell your PL about it and ask them to discreetly have a word with them - v uncomfortable convo but that’s not acceptable in a work environment.

As for wfh, I’d say it’s fair but keep it tactful.

Pwc offices are pretty big, are you not able to work away from this person?

It’s the day the team has agreed to be “together and visible” kinda thing, so beats the point to go in the office with everyone to then hide away somewhere else… although I did note a few senior people booking rooms for the day!

Do any of you make more than your male partner? My boyfriend and I have been together about 8 months, and we haven't talked about money, but I have a feeling that I make about 30K more than him (we are the same age). He's a graphic designer for a small medical company, and just the way he has talked about his most recent raise and stuff makes me think that he makes so much less than me. How do you deal with this? I have had multiple guys leave me in the past because I make like 7K more...

I’d love honest reactions to help ease my mind. I’ve been paying lower rent (like 1400) in HCOL city last few years. Finally debt free from grad school as of this year. Total comp is now low 200k. Does 2800 for rent (im looking at new leases this week) feel high? Moderate? Just want a pulse check on if I’m being reasonable with the 2800, compared to how others think about it. I think it’s ok given HCOL and I now work from home. Disclaimer: this isn’t humble brag stuff. I just want real advice.
