Parents spent the last 10 months and $200K getting divorced. Last week my dad signed the papers, and today he texted to tell me they’ve decided to get back together and make it work. I’m so over it.

Look, I get it but it is really hard ending a relationship after being together for so long. You become so connected and intertwined, it is really hard to split up. Be sympathetic. It’s not a fun thing to go through. I would never wish this on anyone. Plus look at the positives - you don’t have to worry about two sets of holidays ;)

When my parents decided to get divorced after 50+ years of marriage the first thing I said to them was “both of you are old coots who won’t change and can be somewhat unlikable and definite pains in the ass. are you sure you want to do this? The only people I know who could tolerate you for any length of time are each other”. I caught hell but I was right. There is nothing more unsettling then senior citizens who decide they want to get their swerve on but don’t have good sense or good manners and leave a wake of chaos and distraction in their paths more importantly they’re still not divorced and it’s been about six years I refuse to partake in their shenanigans

I’m sorry about your situation OP. My parents have been divorced for many years but still manage to stir all kinds of drama and dysfunction, it’s hard to go though. I found therapy really helped to deal better with this type of situation and to respond in different ways, without being upset all the time. I highly recommend that. Also do you have any siblings? It could be a good time to bond and support each other.

Well maybe going through the divorce process made them realize what they were about to lose and taking for granted before

Torn between a growing startup with great schedule flexibility, work/life balance and company goals OR a bigger global agency that has a good name but none of those other advantages. Pay is the same.

Just found out that I am recruiting for a position that I am basically doing now. I’m not sure what my position will be doing now. I was told I don’t have enough experience to do the job I’m recruiting for. But I do because I’ve done it in a previous role and I am currently doing it.

Just here to vent a little. I am looking to make a move to a new role sometime this year but haven’t begun actively looking / applying, I’ve just been responding to recruiters who reach out on LinkedIn with roles that look interesting. I am already exhausted 😅 there’s always something with these roles or the company. I can’t imagine getting the energy needed to actively look for the right fit, but also can’t imagine staying at my current job beyond this year. 🥲 anyone else or any advice?

When do you typically update your network about your new job on LinkedIn? Is it tacky to do it before you start or do you usually wait for your first week?

Just started working in consulting recently so would really appreciate some advice! Any comments as to why consultants work such long hours and under compressed timelines? It seems quite unnecessary, why aren’t projects scoped out with longer timelines to not overwork their staff and not have quick sprints for deliverables? Can’t imagine why anyone wants to actually work this much even at the senior levels, TIA
