I was having a great morning and feeling productive till I decided to get a sandwich and coffee from Starbucks. 2 hours later, I have food poisoning. I've heard of life comes at you fast, but this was just unnecessary, and I hate life.

Am I right to feel like my partner doesn’t love me after 4 years of dating when they say they don’t want to marry me if I don’t win the H1-B lottery next year? They say they’re not ready to “settle” but they still love me and I’m feeling disappointed and not sure what to make of this

Where is Gina? 🫠

Any other person that commitment gives the creeps? Even as just a word. Like joint accounts, discussing everything, sharing everything?
I’m not sure I’m made for it ….

I know I took out the loans and I should repay them and I’m normally fiscally conservative and against giving out free money. But I am hoping student loans get completely cancelled. It would greatly boost the economy if people do not have them hanging over their heads. However, forgiving what is currently there won’t help long term if the predatory practices around student loans aren’t fixed along with soaring tuition prices and salaries for administrators.

Everytime I’m riding high, getting good work done, my boss has to come in and ruin the mood. Every time. Here’s to spending the rest of my day eating ice cream and watching tv while still working but less than before

Is anyone here in golden handcuffs? (absolutely hate what you do for work but it pays well and you have been accustomed to a certain lifestyle that it provides so you are unwilling to change careers)

I left my previous employer (of 15 yrs) because of the good o’boys club (you can join if you cheat on your wife, have zero accountability, a huge ego and nose up a VP’s ass). Some of the best competent people have left recently as a result. Now they’re constantly posting propaganda on LI pretending it’s a “fun & cool” place to work. It makes me want to throw up in my mouth. I was I could tell all the naive young millennials to run, as fast as they can or else they better watch their backs…

Would you ever take a job you are not qualified for?

Like you failed the interviews but your high ranking daddy/relatives/“connections” still give you the job.

Anyone else just feeling like they cant get a win?

Following the news and SCOTUS blog for the Dobbs decision like a crackhead waiting for his dealer.

Currently investigating a manager for a company that suspects he’s leaving for a competitor. Looks like he plans to wait to give two weeks notice until after he’s already accepted that position and try to scam both. We got IRS involved and and they’re monitoring his FB account. Should be fun

I'm very reserved and when small talk comes up within a group (3-5ppl), I just sit there like a fly on the wall. I don't excuse myself from the zoom call cos I find THAT rude, but if I'm just sitting there and not contributing isn't THAT rude too?

I'm just here to work, talk through how we get things done, GET it done, & clock out. Can we focus pls?

Also, Idrk how to small talk... I've always been the 'therapist' role. Idk how to adult here & others think im uncollaborative / uncommunicative
