Moved into a coop in September. No doorman and have never met the super - don’t even know their name. Should I be tipping someone at holiday season and if so, how?

Tip the super if you can figure out who it is. You don’t wanna need help in march and be the person that didn’t tip

I am 90% certain the building is required to list its Superintendant in a public area. Look closely in your lobby or perhaps in the basement or laundry room. You can also contact the board to get that information.

Yes to Super. When you need him—and you will at some point if you stay long enough. Depends on building and neighborhood etc but you can do $100 even if you moved in Fall (the person who moved out would likely have tipped had they stayed) with a card/note.

I live in a coop and tip my super and porters $50 each. You never know when you’ll need their help!

But she didn’t offer the weekend (which I feel is included in “this week”), didn’t say “lets do another time” or anything like that. Should I take the L and count her as not rly interested 🥲

Hello, I am a new grad with a doctorate in OT. I just got an offer for a job working at a private school. The offer is 58K with benefits. 15 days PTO.

I am currently at a firm and received an in-house offer. Aside from main items like comp and big ticket benefits like PTO/health insurance/401k, what other items do I need to think about discussing/negotiating? For example, fees to keep bar licensure, professional association fees, CLEs, etc. I feel like there is so much on that end I currently take for granted being covered at my firm. Anything else I should consider?

Need a quick point of view all - today on a group call, I asked a new c level male exec if it was fine for me to provide a client with a piece of information we had been discussing on the call (this required his approval). He replied “you’re an adult so tell them what you want”. I was immediately livid and felt it was a totally weird, condescending response. I’m a senior female employee at the company and this guy has already had issues at the company with his tone, thoughts? Am I overreacting?

1. I’m a pandemic hire at this new agency and I like it enough, but I feel SO detached from all these humans I’ve never interacted with IRL… like, I just don’t give a flying fuck about these team-building zoom calls. :(

2. My boyfriend and I often just go off cam / mute during the more useless meetings and have sex instead. I secretly hope everyone who is muted/cam off in meetings is getting some action.
