What are some good stocks to buy today?
Please help me calm down. My manager has mentioned “a great raise” to expect in July. It finally reflected today and is < $1/hr. Under 3%.
During our last company wide chat they talked about retaining top talent. Now have a meeting with my manager in a day. I’m wondering how to best approach this discussion.
know I’m a top performer. I know if I quit they will be a sinking ship (the team is already drowning with work), and I carry a lot of the burden. Trying to stay professional. HELP!Gallagher

Time to talk to a therapist!

Having to tweak my course of action to diminish his frustration. An example would be how he said he loves a power woman and supports my career to the fullest even if it means I have to work insane hours. BCG has been an incredible amount of hours for me and his love language being quality time, he’s always in a sour mood that I’m not available as much as I was in my last 9-5 job. This sort of situation keeps happening in our marriage and now I don’t even know how to make decisions about the future with him bc I feel like I can’t trust what he says about what he needs and what he would like because he doesn’t actually know what he needs. I’m so lost and frustrated

This sounds so, so tough. I agree, talk to a therapist to help work out together how he can better understand and communicate his needs. You also need to be open, though, to maybe working a little less to meet his needs as well, if that’s what it takes (if that’s what you learn together through counseling). Your marriage will/should outlast your job. Not to say you need to only work 9-5, of course. Just be open to compromise as part of marriage counseling.
