Random thought… it must be easier to be attractive as in people want to hang around you - when you’re married to a rich family. You have less worries financially so people see you as less risky/clingy to hang out with. If that makes any sense.

On that note - there’s a lot of social issues out there that are all worthy of attention. But my hot take is being poor is the absolute worst one of them all. It’s not mutually exclusive with racism.

Once you’re starved of your basic needs, people naturally don’t really want to be near it - it’s just an instinct.

Totally

It is but I feel like as an attractive woman, you can't really have guy friends because they all want to sleep with you. And haven't had any luck with women friends either sadly 🥹

It doesn’t feel easier because I’m constantly worried about whether people are genuinely my friends or if they’re only around to take advantage of me because they want to sleep with me or use my money

Have an offer from a dream company but I'll need to go in at a lower level. Knowing that I can bring a lot of value to the company (read- I know my worth), I negotiated with the hiring manager to have a level/comp review 6 months after employment. If I hit all my goals (ie, prove myself) within that time frame, I'll get a promotion and salary adjustment.
QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...

What's a good place to live to access both downtown and Argonne national lab in Lemont? I live on the far north side of Chicago now, but my partner got a new job and it would be an hour each way by car to commute for him. I work downtown along the red line. Looking for somewhere affordable, not interested in night life or anything but groceries and transit need to be 10 minute walk or less and be safe. Also prefer CTA over metra since my company has later night events. Thank you!!

LinkedIn is a garbage app where I can’t even post my opinion or experience because it will go against the mainstream ideologies. If I even “like” a post then I worry that my peers and managers see what I like and suddenly I need inclusivity training. What a load of shit! You can’t be who you truly are on that app. Which is why I like fishbowl so much, the anonymity is a game changer. If LinkedIn was a anonymous, we’d see a lot more support for Kanye and a lot less LGBQT material. Bet!
