My 3yo son has COVID - he’s been sick for the last ten days. So we think he’s in the last leg of COVID. But his last test was positive (done on Friday) and we won’t send him to school tomorrow. My wife is also going back to work tomorrow after a few days off for COVID last week. So trying to figure out what the best case scenario is for tomorrow and maybe for Tuesday. Has anyone had similar experience where both of you had to work and the kid was sick? Can you please share any tips?

I was just in the hospital over the holidays (not COVID). You know what I learned…I didn’t think about work that week, I thought about my kids.

My advice is to take the day off and tend to your kid. Hope he feels better.

Of course. FWIW, no one batted an eye for me. The response was basically, “We’ve got this. Focus where it matters and check in on Friday to let us know if you’ll be back next week or the week after.”

Good luck to you. 10d is a long case. I hope it resolves soon!

Please help. My husband works in construction and has been for 20+ years. He worked as a construction manager for a very small company last year where the owner was a terrible human being and completely tarnished his perception of that role though other companies would be bette. Physically working as the contractor daily basis wreaks havoc on his body; he’s 6’4” and 300 lbs. He says he’d rather be in physical pain than mental pain. Any ideas how to encourage him to try it again/another job?

Hello fellow HR pros! I really need your opinions on HR certifications. I am deciding between PHR and SHRM-cp. I have read just about all there is online comparing the two and can not decide.

I work for a 350~ company who is growing rapidly through M&A. Passions/interests are compliance, strategic vision, M&A, branding and culture

Suppose you are 3 months pregnant and interviewing for a job. Would you disclose to the recruiter that you are expecting or is there no need to give that information until after being hired? As for the compensation, if you’ve already been told pre-interview, the salary range for the role, is it appropriate to negotiate a number for the salary if you are asked your desired salary in the first screening interview? Or should you try to hold off on the negotiation after you receive an offer?

Hi everyone!
Any athletic trainers in the group? I work as an outreach athletic trainer for a large 6A high school and middle school. I have a bachelors degree and 5 YOE. Compared to the salary survey I'm making $10k under the national average and $14k under the district average. I'm unsure on how to bring this up to the hospital and school district in hopes for a raise. My manager is aware, but doesn't want to fight for a raise.
Any help, recommendations, or advice is greatly appreciated!
