So I have a question here. If I were in that situation I would love to think I’d come back with a retort, and say something like “No kids. No plans. I’ll stay.” or “Would you say that to Gary?” But then I think of the fact that the President of my company today came up behind me, put his arm across the front of my upper chest / neck in a weird mix of a hug and choke to say he heard the news about me putting in my notice. While it was definitely paternalistic and not perverse, it was still unprofessional and way out of bounds in general in terms of my personal space. Yet I said nothing. Laughed my way through it and brought someone nearby into the conversation to ease my anxiety. I’ve been kicking myself all day for it. Should I have said something? Should OP have said something? By trying not to risk our jobs, we just keep letting these men think these things are okay! Yet we’ve still got bills to pay.

I think you should always say something. Maybe not right in the moment. I mean I do but I’m an extremely aggressive lady and those little fuckers shake like brittle leaves. But I know that’s not comfortable for everyone so maybe speak measured and to the right people... but always speak out. Grab your ally’s around the office. Have them help to fight for you. They will and you don’t deserve that fucked up shit.

Hi Fishes,

My last working date with TCS is on 4th March 2022 and now they are offering me 80% hike and Canada onsite opportunity and telling that will initiate visa as soon as I take resignation back and also ready to provide written confirmation. On the other hand I have an offer from IBM of 120% hike fixed and performance bonus would be there which I am not considering now.

Which one would be better? please suggest based on your knowledge and experience.

The amount of people, even attorneys, who can't separate out the policy merits of abortion from the issue of whether it is a constitutional right is disappointing. I consider myself pro-choice ---I believe states should allow it, that the federal government can pass a statute to guarantee it, and that FDA statutes and regulations will preempt any state trying to ban chemical abortions through FDA approved drugs. Dobbs at its core is a case about the Due Process Clause, not the policy of abortion

I feel like people don’t take me seriously at my job given that I have a junior title. Half my job consists of chasing after people and no one bothers to answer my emails or follow up. Usually the requests I have come from my boss or for big projects we’d be working on. Thankfully, my boss helps me out & emails the people I need when I tell her no one responds but they’ll answer her in 2 mins or less when she sends it. Though I’m happy she’s helping, it’s such a pain in the ass to wait around.

My husband just sent in 150$ to his cousin, whose friend who was in need. I keep getting requests for help with charities, go fund me, school pta etc. I am not opposed to helping out when I can, but sometimes there are 5/6 a month. The 150$ really bugs me. It’s not the amount he sent (I would have preferred 50$). But it’s the fact that he didn’t consult me in the amount. He apologized but I am now wondering if I am too cheap.
