Read your childrens’ diaries every week. That way you know if you’re not giving them enough privacy.

People who live with housemates / have a garden. Does it get noisy / do you find people in the garden earlier than (we) finish, that distract you from your work?

Also, living how is living next to a secondary school? Noise / traffic etc?

Thanks

What’s your *wish-fulfillment fantasy* life like? Hot model wife, kids, a house in the suburbs and success in your career?

I am generally uncomfortable when I’m around my mother-in-law’s husband.

While he is overall a decent guy, his anger issues, yelling at his wife for the slightest issue, and insulting nature makes me uncomfortable and triggers my own anger due to his blatant disrespect for just about everyone around him.

My mother-in-law says he’s worked on things, but it’s been 10 years of this and I’m not sure I want such behavior around my wife and our kids since we’re trying to conceive soon (cont).

Lawyer Couples:
I’m currently an associate (no kids) in a very busy corp group (think 50-60 billable weekly). My wife works significantly less (currently part time, 10-15, but hopefully will be full time soon). I find myself getting upset when asked to help with basic household things (trash, cooking etc.) when she’s been lounging around watching Netflix all day. Am I being reasonable or am I a misogynist? How do you deal with one person having significantly more free time than the other?

How can I make friends in Chicago?

Looking for recommendations for an agency to find a live out nanny on Long Island (Nassau County).

How do you plan to care for yourself this week?

I just learned I was parentified severely, especially emotionally. The discovery came from outside of therapy, but having a place every week to sit down, slow down & reflect def led to it. Being enmeshed with my parents like this was a cause for my anxiety, low self esteem and workaholic, people pleasing tendencies. I'm working on extricating myself and finding my identity again in a way that will be easy on my conscience and values..so I'm learning! Please dont hesitate to go to therapy!...

What do you do when you know your peer is not paying attention when you are transitioning work to him? I’m not rolling off, just going for vacation, I really don’t want to talk to him when I’m gone.

New to Chicago - how do I find new friends here?

Finally had a breakdown over infertility this AM and trying to pull myself together for Zoom. My tests are fine, but husband can’t deliver during my fertile window. I feel so hopeless with every month that goes by, and he doesn’t have any sense of urgency when HE is the one who wants kids more than I do. Just needed to vent.

Ladies, did you change your last name after getting married? I’m worried about the impact it will have on my publications.

Help!! My bestfriend is doing two months abroad and was trying to fly into turkey when they told her she couldn't because her passport expired within three months.

She went to the US Embassay in Athens knowing she had a month left of traveling, and gave her an emergency passport and punched holes in her exsisting one. Now no country will let her in with her emergency passport.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?

Thank you!!

What resources would you recommend to find a full time nanny in Houston? Any specific websites, services, groups or places that have worked for you in the past?

My fiancée and I have been struggling for this way too long (disregard the price)

When I started in this industry, it was all about radio and direct mail. Now, most are doing video content and influencer marketing. What do you think our children will be influenced by?

Colleagues, if any of you are interested in helping severely disabled combat veterans get homes adapted for their disabilities, let me know. My wife recently started working for former NFL linebacker Jared Allen and his foundation. We're trying to figure out how to leverage the power of the big consulting firms to help our brothers and sisters in need.

After nearly a year WFH and being with my family 24/7, I’m not entirely sure we actually like each other. Or maybe they don’t like me being at home. Or they don’t like me. Probably the latter 😞

Help! Need an intervention - what are your proven secrets for managing receipts when travelling? I'm in paper hell...

Hello fishes,

Nothing worse than an analyst who thinks they know everything and can't think big picture - neither can you take direction nor do you understand broader context around said comments

Got an offer from a startup for 19.5LPA.
Its base is 15L, and I'll be getting 124800 in-hand.

I have 3.5 yoe in typescript/react/NEXTjs fullstack. Out of which only 10 months are on a full time role, rest of time was freelancing.
I am also an open source contributor for some NEXTjs related tooling.

Is this a good offer?

Own a Sub 41, but getting a Hamilton Khaki Field 42 as an everyday later today! As excited as I was picking up the Sub 😍 Thoughts as an everyday watch? Will post pictures if I pull the trigger!

When you know the employee survey results for your business unit will be absolute dog crap, just delay the survey and claim it’s so you can conduct a more focused survey for your business unit.

Post your hatred here. Feel free to include your name level and role and the names of those whom you hate the most at your firm. Pls include why. Incriminating evidence is welcome. This is a safe space and there is literally zero chance your boss or any of your coworkers will find out. Not that many ppl may attention to what is said here.

We’re approaching annual review season and it’s very important you put your 2022 goals into the system. Most of you don’t have any goals listed (10.5 months into the year) and they goals mean f*ck all in the evaluation process, but I need you to get your goals documented TODAY.

Set very low expectations for raises and bonuses this year. START NOW. No firm can beat what the market is paying for talent, so under promise with low expectations. That way people will feel grateful when they get a 2% COLA in a few months.

Should I sell my Tesla stock and go all in on Rivian?

Anyone here memorize their credit card number? What mnemonics do you use to remember it?

What is the best answer to “Do I look fat in this?”

For those of you who faked having children during this WFH period to establish some sort of WLB or whatever other reason… how are you going to spin it when we go back to the office/ client site?

Make every effort to record the fireworks display tonight.

You’re sure to watch that video regularly. Unlike the last 7 years of fireworks displays you watched live through your smartphone screen.

Hot takes on the internet- especially in anonymous apps filled with overpaid, out of touch, educated fools - is the best way to form your opinions on the issues of the day.

Conduct annual performance reviews with your kids and let them know their status in the family is at stake. There’s no feeling in the world that compares to seeing an 8 year old kid on a PIP turn it around and earn an invitation to come back next year.

When an organization is not adequately staffed, be sure increase the number of meetings to address how to allocate people. Forcing negotiations at multiple org levels around the same decisions will ensure everyone is totally aligned.

This accomplishes three things:
1) Everyone is mad at each other since they’re competing for people
2) They’re confused and not able to pay attention to the root issue of chronic under staffing
3) They’re distracted from blaming mgmt for the root cause.

Put all your money in crypto. It’s done going down.

If you’re not competent enough to solve real problems in the organization, create a few minor problems that you can solve and look like a hero.

But you have to ensure the org feels the pain of your decision before promising to fix it. It’s like the three parts of a magic trick: the pledge where you float your idea, the turn where you inflict your idea, and the prestige where you fake a way to fix the mess you made on purpose.

Only works managing up, tho.

How do I ship my mom in law back? Almost ruining our marriage and loosing the affection for my wife and kids already

Join the Politics Bowl for mature and well reasoned discussions about the issues of the day.

How do I get promoted?

what should I wear back to office?

Boss: I need you to stop challenging me on every decision.

Me: I don’t want us to have a confrontational relationship and I think we can agree something needs to change. When you make stupid decisions, that affects my business and it makes me feel like you’re not up to the job. That makes it harder for my team to do our jobs. I think to be an authentic leader I need to be radically candid with you and point our your mistakes. So are you willing to work with me on this?
