Partners….
I have had 3 partners from various firms message me on LinkedIn and give me their numbers… I’m a woman lol.. a part of me is like okay they want to work together but then I’m like we are already chatting on LinkedIn why the number?

LinkedIn has become LinkedUp.

Better a phone number than asking "How much?" I suppose.

Is it possible they are treating you like any other professional in a gender neutral professional manner respectful of your skills and experience? Whenever I talk to peers, after exchanging first few messages, we share cell phones so we can contact each other more efficiently.

Email would be the normal route.

People share / ask for social media or numbers when they’re interested or when they have non-work related things to say.

There's your answer then. Enjoy being attractive and ignore creepy men.

That’s definitely a bit of a red flag, especially if the conversation was already happening on LinkedIn. It could just be a way to make things feel more personal, but trust your instincts. If you feel uncomfortable, you don’t have to share your number. As for the second part, if you’ve lost money to a scam, don’t stay silent, there are ways to recover it!

Not sure I get it.. you mean they are trying to hook up with you? Or you mean you prefer a more formal HR process when discussing a new job?

Art Directors. How protective are you of your references and resources? I have a folder with lot’s of textures, mockups that I’ve spent time building. I even paid for some of those assets. So I always get a lot of compliments on my comps and decks. Sometimes someone ask for my files and I really don’t want to since I put so much effort on that. But I also feel bad being gatekeeper of things.

A client developer group just told me they reached terms to “buy equity in a lease.” From what they’ve told me, if we were setting this up fresh, I’d do a new LLC and easily handle capital contributions, buy-sell, etc. in the new LLC agreement. However, here the partner had a long-term lease on the underlying RE that our group wants to develop as a concept. Lease assignment to new LLC is dicey, but I’m thinking maybe we set up a Mgmt services company to contract w/ the partner-tenant entity?

Just found out that my favorite aunt, who claimed I was her “favorite” niece, chose to leave all her valuables to her other two nieces who never visited or called her once in the last ten years. My aunt passed away suffering from cancer last year and didn’t have her own kids. I was there by her side throughout her battle. I still wish I had done more, made her life easier. I probably sound petty, but a part of me is forcing me to re-evaluate every interaction I ever had with her.

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷

Happy wife happy life is a really toxic saying. I’m just shocked how this has become the standard saying for men in relationships. I have friends of mine saying this all the time, and I have just thought it’s so cringe and always want to say my thoughts on it but always decide to hold back. However, imagine the saying reversed - happy husband happy life - that would lead to all kinds of uproar. To me happy wife happy life means I need to sacrifice my wants and needs to make my wife happy.
