My grandmother told me that I use to be a gentle easygoing person and should quit my job because it ruined my personality. She basically doesn’t like me anymore bc i’m too aggressive. But probably wouldn’t be noticed if I was a male 🙃

Name the most ridiculous micro-managing by partners that you experience.

I’ll go first: MP told me that on initial emails, I am always to start with “Hello [name],” but after the initial email, I am not to address her by name again in the same thread. Initial greeting can only be “Hello [name] ” because just first name is too brisk and a “Hi [name]” is too informal. Had a 5 minute, in depth conversation as to why she prefers it this way…

I am fed up of my people lead/supervisor
Gives unrealistic deadlines, has no time for discussion and next day he is up with his nagging behaviour

Doesnt even know how to talk in a certain professional manner, fed up with his nagging behaviour.

And yeah forgets everything! Need to remind him each and everytime about the tasks and boom, then he comes up with his negative demotivating statements!

I have four girls in my class that talk to each other NON STOP! It is so disrespectful! They talk right over me and even begin talking again before I even finish my sentence asking them to stop! Help!

How do you tackle ignorant managers and favoritism in the team ?

Name some annoying habits of the co-workers that you sit next to (Typing too hard, talks too much, pen tapping, leg shaking, etc). How do you mention that it's driving you insane without being rude?

Do you guys respond to emails and phone calls over the weekend or have you been able to put boundaries in place wit your boss?

What do you do for winter shoes and commuting?

I walk a total ~20 mins in between train/bus stations and then getting from the stop in the loop to the office.

What do I do come wintertime for boots? Do you wear them while you're in the office? Or do you bring dress shoes with you to change in to? I wear a suit to work, so what boots would be good for winter but also look decent with a suit? This is my first winter in Chicago (a socal transplant)

So my junior lies a lot. About everything. They work hard and are reasonably smart, but they would swear a black pen is red and vice versa. When you catch them out, they keep digging. I like to think I’m very approachable and would never have an issue with someone not knowing something, needing longer on a deadline, asking questions etc. I’m writing this junior’s review and I’m wondering whether (and, if so, how) to bring this up?

Why is that instead of having accountability for things that aren’t fair, women resort to calling men incels

Tips on giving notice over the phone? I’m required to be in the office 5 days a week but the two partners I work for never come on Fridays or Monday mornings

What’s the proper etiquette for telling your team that you’ll be switching service lines?

Is it a nice idea to be close to your employees?

How do you deal with a senior member of the team that doesn’t value your input? I’d love to be more involved but I feel like I’m not given a chance to

I've worked with the client for over 7 months now and he still calls me by my dad's name
What do I do 😭😂

Poll: What dress code do you follow at your home office?

Senior revving up to manager promo. Only nervous about one thing at the manager level which is having to answer pointed “Why??” questions from higher up clients on live calls. Any one else work through something like this? I’d appreciate any tips or suggestions as I really suck at dealing with unexpected push back.

What is the most memorable thing a client has ever said to you?

Getting grief from boss for never attending our team social events (dinner parties etc). I don’t enjoy these kinds of events but I’m the only one on the team who feels that way (cont)

From reading a number of books and listening to a number of podcasts about starting a business, one underlying factor they all share is to have deep passion for what you do. How do you know what your passion is? I mean I think a lot about golf but i don’t think that’s a passion. It’s my hobby. I think most people just know.

What's everyone's best year look like? Direct hire revenue (not contract). Let's start a hopeful thread lol. Mine so far has been 350k. This year I was really hoping to break 400k but whether I make it or not is up in the air. Solo and Agency folks speak up!

How often do people upgrade their house? Is every 3 year too slow?

I gained weight during my last relationship (probably around 30 lbs, and I’m 5’9”). Before my relationship, I felt like I could get any guy. But I’ve been single for 2 years now and it’s been so hard to date. I’m not sure if maybe I’ve lost confidence, but I legitimately don’t know how to get a guy to be interested. Any pointers?

It sucks when you see a photo of a recent ex with someone else. Heart raced for a few mins and felt adrenaline. Guess I really liked her a lot 😔

What do I do you do with your down time? I’m so bored.

I confess that I was one of those annoying kids in AOL chat rooms back in the late 90s. I also confess this bowl feels just like those chat rooms back on the day. I also confess I still enjoy stirring the pot here with a chaotic neutral approach.

I’ve been married in a Catholic Church before and now divorced but my now boyfriend says he wants to marry me in a Catholic Church someday. How do I even start a petition for that? Also is that possible to re-marry in a Catholic Church?

more of a rant than a confession but i did not realize there was a bowl limit on this app and i’m unhappy about it >:( !

Today's weather is a clear sign that Catholic God is stronger than Eastern Orthodox God

Hypothetical Q: If a house has two half baths and three full baths, how are they counted? 4 Baths, or 3.5 baths +.5 baths?

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says). Whenever I try to initiate, he always shuts me down and says he’s not in the mood. I even touch him and he gets hard but stops me as soon as I try to unzip him. We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭

We need a better a singles bowl

I’m just kinda feeling lost, a bit like a failure , and maybe tired . I’m 30 f, single, moved to a new town, studying for the cpa, had falling out with the first two friends I made in new town, deeply missing my friends from back home, work has been a lot - job hopping . The partner was so excited and quick to give me an offer. I feel like I’m 💯 at this point just disappointing him. Idk what advice someone could give me , but has anyone else gone through “just surviving period”
