Late 50. Been there done that, so everything is easy. Not sure what to do with retirement. So drifting along working. For those who have been through this, what did you do?

Sending positive vibes - H1 transfer approved today. Chill...

Really bad insomnia after a breakup. Any tips? Trying controlled breathing, device usage limitation, chamomile, melatonin, and no luck - averaging 3-4 hours a night. Working to find a therapist and will try the calm app as well, but a little disconcerted because it’s been weeks.

When it comes time for me to write my dissertation, the only way I can actually write it is if someone buys me a grant so that I can afford to make the time to write it!

Our school has a large disparity between the haves and the have-nots. How do we close the opportunity gap and enable and empower all of our students with equal opportunities?

Any of you switch to a data analyst or other more “tech” type role? Or just a career change that isn’t accounting?

I’m a tax manager with over 10 years of experience (5 years public, 4 in industry, and back to public for 3 but in “transformation”). I got burnt out during covid and took a break from work. And now I’m trying to decide if I want to take a big pay cut and start over in a data analytics role. Just feeling sort of lost 😭

Do you have a classroom coach?

My manager keeps calling me on my phone even when i am online on the internal messenger used by the company for communication, for anything he wants to communicate during working hours and outside of work hours too. Is this a professional practice?

Frontier offering me 70k miles for my current 400 dollar credit. Worth it?

What has been your worst experience working for a news agency?

Hello Fishes,

Does IBM revise the offer after acceptance? If yes,can we use a counter offer and request them to match it?

Does anybody have any experience getting a Grandpad or Jitterbug (or similar) for an elderly relative who is not local to you? My Dad is reluctant to carry a cell phone and never uses the flip phone I got him 10 years ago but maybe if it was more basic /easier to use he would (?) I told him if he goes out walking he should be carrying one. He has a history of falling a few times a year and I want him to be able to call 911 if he needs to. I’m a plane ride away. He lives by himself. He refuses

Feeling like my life is racing by being on the road 20 years, and saddens me that when I get home tonight my SO leaves on a business trip.

Do you use or have you used First Command Financial Planning? If so, what’s your experience with them?

Has anyone here ever tried negotiating “at will” employment terms in the US? I’m curious what specific terms folks have asked for and how the potential employer reacted.

This week I found an app on playstation4 and Apple TV streaming called Pluto Tv. It’s free and has a bunch of old shows playing 24 / 7. Including MST3K, the Rifleman.

Any male 🐟 that can share the experience of starting alpha blockers? I take it at bedtime and feel like I have a head cold in the morning. Dizzy all day too.

How many of you have had to curse out our Millennial/Gen-Y friends about calling us old and inept. 

At what point does it not make sense to buy/ build a bigger home? My husband dislikes our house immensely (was his with former wife) and wants to move. Only owes $180k on it, we’ve been together 6 years and thus I’d rather just remodel. It’s the only thing we disagree about - moving or staying. He doesn’t want to invest one more cent in this house.

Yesterday my younger brother called me looking for good hidden swimming spots in the mountains. He was up there with a bunch of friends and their original plans had fallen apart hard. And I go much more often than he does.

I told him I had map pins that are EXACTLY what you need for these hard to find places. I can send them in 10 mins when I get home.

Reply? Forget it, I'm all set.

Yep, 10 mins is too long. Here I was expecting "Wow! That's fantastic!" How silly of me.

My observation is that it is hard for consulting partners to land the quality public or private board roles everyone naturally targets. Despite there being a significant amount of exceptional talent that could be deployed, there is a big bias against consultants. Everyone wants “operators,” but I feel every board could also benefit from one current or former consulting partner. But sadly, that’s not the way the external world looks at things...

We're aiming to live long enough to spend it all. If we die younger there is a substantial estate and only nieces and nephews. I have three topics that I'm requesting your thoughts on before I engage an attorney;

Would you date a 30 year old? If so, why?

Anyone else have trouble separating who you are from what you do? I think a lot of our generation built our self identity around our work. If I take my work away, I'm not really sure who I am.

At what age did you exit Consulting? Do you think all the traveling has affected your health adversely?

Is anyone changing their retirement plans based on COVID-19 realities and the future of work.

What’s the next move when you’re this age, at plateau of career, not going any further and burned out, but have to work for at least 5-7 more years? Would love to hear from those who made a fulfilling move.
