My supervisor was pregnant and we were having transition meetings this week for her maternity leave. She had her baby a month early this past weekend. I am screwed.

Her having a baby a month early has bigger issues than your day-to-day. Figure it out and don’t be selfish.

Stupid baby.

Nah you'll be fine. Figure it out, be upfront with clients (everyone understands birth cannot usually be planned) and lean on others on the account for help as you need. Everyone wants the client to be successful. You got this! (And if you really do, it may be good rationale for why promo or merit increase is in order.)

CD1, does it get tiring being so quick to judgement? Baby is fine. My supervisor is fine. She’s also out of the picture now...because she just had a baby. It’s actually my time to be selfish. Bye.

My thought is that people have to figure that out all the time when someone else is laid off. It’s picking up the pieces. At least having a baby is less taboo than lay offs when talking to clients

Lean into the chaos. Flex new muscles. You will come out better because of this. Don’t feel alone, you’ve got a team to lean on

It feels overwhelming now, but you just need to be methodical about figuring it out. Call meetings with producers or PMs on projects to get whatever status you can internally. Then you’re actually in a good spot to reach out to clients. She went out early, transition was only partially complete - you want to ask questions and make sure everything stays on track. Clients are not monsters. They will respond.

So far the only reason I’ve been told no is that “if you do then everyone will want to and then no one will be in the office” … how can I convince them that I work better out of the office and get this freedom & mental break for myself?

Hi Guys,
Hope everyone is well.

I am looking for a part time role for additional income source. I currently work in Category Management team of a Packed Food Company in Mumbai, India.

When I look for the part time roles I only find shady MLM and some delivery jobs. Nothing wrong in delivery jobs, but I am more inclined towards WFH role as me and my wife are pregnant.

Can you guys suggest where can I find reliable part time roles?

Thanks,

Im a RN and took on a new role working in Home Health. I chose this position because My husband & I recently moved to PA with our 2 kids (1&3), with no family available for his residency program with a hospital. If you know that life, I’m pretty much the main parent for our kids. I don’t want to work in the hospital/floor work anymore; nor do I believe the hrs are flexible enough. I need a job that’s flexible for the kids but pays >$44/hr. Maybe remote or hybrid? Please help w/ suggestions.
