Maybe I’m just being sensitive this week but I live in Boulder and had to spend Monday and Tuesday checking in to make sure all my friends were okay. I’m a manager on my project who has been leading a team for over a year. My clients checked in (even the European ones) my other peer team leads checked in. But for who I report to and all SMs and MDs above me, silence

Hang in there. We all process things differently. If you need time, speak up. Most leadership will believe that you’re okay until you tell them that you’re not. I happen to live in Texas where we lost power for a week, pipes froze and burst, and my home is now a mildewed demo zone. I also happen to be an Asian woman who had to defend her mom when some guy tried to shove her and told her to “Go back to China.” Atlanta was 100% a trigger for me. I have found that leadership has been supportive when I’ve told them exactly what I need. I don’t have anything in common with the SMDs so have stopped expecting they’re able to predict my needs. If you need the time, bring it up. It’s actually a good learning experience for our leadership.

Has anyone else had a really hard time online dating with Covid? I’m aware things are getting better but I prefer to do outdoor first dates to be on the safe side. No judgement to anyone that does differently. It’s just what I feel comfortable with. I’ve had a few guys tell me they won’t do outdoor dates for some reason… some have cited weather but others legit say no (in 70 weather) because it’s a hassle & “Covid is a joke.” Please tell me if this is normal.
