Looking for input - my father (who is in his 70s) has decided to start traveling again. He has no obligation to do so, but also doesn’t think that there’s much risk. My parents live in a southern state with rapidly rising case counts, and my mother has several very high risk conditions. Question is this - do I keep trying to convince him not to travel? How aggressively? Or just shut up and hope for the best?

Everyone, please provide the best hotels for a staycation in DC

Apartment gym and pool have opened back up ! Finally!!!

Apparently responding to “What’s your worst pregnancy symptom?” with “People telling me their traumatic birth stories” is an unacceptable answer.

Do you eat back the calories you burn at the gym? For example, if I eat a 2,000 calorie diet but go on a run that burns 500 calories, would you eat 2,500 for that day?

Do your firm benefits cover physio?

Does anyone get depressed on a sort of seasonal schedule? Not like SAD, but in cycles throughout the year that seem to track to the same time period each year.

I love spring and summer, but every March, my depression gets significantly worse for a few weeks. I usually have a second dip in August/September. I’ve yet to identify a trigger, only a pattern…

Long one - one of my best friends (10+ years) and I had a drink last week, I told her of my recent ADHD diagnosis and how we had noticed the generational trend (my mum & grandad as very similar symptoms wise and they acknowledge this, but not diagnosed). The friend mentioned her therapist has suggested she may had ADHD (inattentive type) - she then told me a few things like how she's absolutely neurotypical and she's never associated herself with neurodiversity etc, she made a ...

Getting emails from management and I can tell that I’m going to be put on a PIP or at least have it suggested.

I had a breakdown a few months ago and I tried to be super upfront with all of my management that I was really struggling mentally and I needed time for it and time to talk to my doctor about medication changes. I knew I wasn’t performing then and wanted to correct it.

16 weeks and so worried all of the stress I’m under is going to hurt the baby. Between work, my own scary (non-pregnancy) health stuff, the pandemic, my mom (who is a widow and lives alone, basically isolated by choice due to covid) is having health issues, and pressures to keep billable hours up, I’ve been having complete breakdowns. Today I spent almost the entire day crying and now have to make up the billable time this weekend. I really worry abt what effect this will have on the babe.

Decided I’m going to quit in the medium term to take some time off. It’s been really difficult to keep the same work ethic and as a result am creating more anxiety for myself. Any advice? (Contd)

If your company has miscarriage leave, what are the downsides of sharing your pregnancy before your 2nd trimester? I always assumed it was because you wouldn’t want to share the loss but with companies that make accommodations it seems like it could be a safe place to share.

Joined LTI in June in Citi bank account. But still no onboarding. Many people waiting for VDI. Manager said it's freeze from Citi side process is slow. Now they have started releasing people. It's easy to get another project on bench. Will LTI ask to resign?

I'm not like other auditors. I'm a COOL AUDITOR :sends client coffee emoji in a professional email:

Sibling is 52 days sober from heroin/cocaine, but I just found a syringe and alcohol wipes under their pillow.

They have been passing observed urine tests, how is it possible that they’re using? Any ideas?

Started a new job > made a simple post on LinkedIn > colleagues and friends congratulated you.

But some people didn’t click “Like” or responded but bothered checking my profile page for whatever reason. I shouldn’t care, but it’s kinda a bit annoying.

Those some people include my *ex* boss.

For those doing WFH, has your employer prohibited you from forwarding copies of documents to personal emails for remote preparation and printing? It seems a little over the top to me. Thoughts?

Looking to go camping (tent) the week of the 4th. Based in western PA but willing to drive. Want something that won’t be crowded so I can relax and do some reading & meditation in quiet. Any recommendations?

Any books/self help materials for someone who is constantly worrying (and waste a lot of unnecessary time)? E.g. No matter if i pass or fail an interview, there is always something to worry about. The worrying/anxiety multiplies when I proceeded further in the interview stages. Now that I signed the offer and is pending background checks, my anxiety is off the roof as it itches closer to my starting date.

What are the genuine pros & cons of sharing mental health issues at work? I want the honest things being said behind closed doors, not the official party line.

I was informed today by the management in a pay review that salary is based on performance + experience. They confirmed that though I (7 YOE) outperform the seniors (20+ YOE) and also achieved a higher Annual Review score, it will not be possible for me to bridge the current 15% pay gap. We will all be getting 2%.
Am I right in thinking this company has lost the plot with archaic policy or is this logic commonplace and YOE is king?

Anyone really struggling with work/home bleed and the tax it has placed on a relationship? We have #20yr coming up this year, and we have never been further apart. Both deep in depression.

Is there any research saying young kids aren’t major covid asymptomatic spreaders? As more businesses open up, more kids are in day care. Young adults (millennials) are parents of kids. Kids are at family events and bbqs, but not at protests. Kids put things in their mouth and touch and jump on everything, very unaware. It seems convincing.

Manager: Asks me how much OT is required for me to complete project

Me: Ummmmmm I like my 4:30 off time and playing video games soooo…

😂😂😂😂 I get it now

Does it make sense to apply right after layoffs and then take some time while interview process takes hold or best to take time off once you get laid off? I’ve seen on LinkedIn people chiming in saying to take time off to reevaluate once you get laid off but I feel the opposite. Apply for jobs that week - then take the week off. I’m doing so - recruiters will get back to you in a week or so so then you’re interviewing two weeks out rather than taking a week to left the dust settle then applying
