Stupid Question- We have been thinking for IVF and trying to understand with this process, is there any difference in the health and life of the child as compared to a child born without IVF. I did ask this with our doctor and he said casually its all same. This is not to question any doctor but just to really understand what is going to be different with the kid. This is not very old technology and not much studies as well.

It’s been six weeks since he broke up with me and I feel like I’m still in shock. Like I’m in a nightmare I can’t wake up from. I just can’t believe he left me when he always said he never would.

My anxiety is so bad in the mornings especially if im sleeping without my boyfriend. Depending on work-related stress, it can get better through the day but not always. I feel like i just want to be

I’m posting this here instead of my usual Big Law bowl because I’m guessing there are people here who will understand. I just need to vent. I am married to a wonderful man who has a young son. My husband is the kindest, most patient and supportive man I’ve ever met other than my dear late grandfather. He is saintly. But the chaos that surrounds him hurts me. I am the primary breadwinner and far out earn my husband and my stepson’s bio mom. I have always put pressure on myself to succeed (Cont.)

I’ve been in sales for nearly 3 years doing alright and all of a sudden I have developed an anxiety towards sales that has made my job unbearable in the last few months.
I haven’t made any major mistakes that triggered this, I just gradually developed so much self doubt.

Like I spend way too long overthinking my phrasing in communication lately…

I’m curious to know if anyone has experience working part-time in architecture? I have been working for large international firms in NYC for the past 10 years. So I work all day every day. My evenings and often the weekends are all absorbed by work duties. Working part-time would allow me to find a better balance, and carve out space for side gigs and eventually start my own firm. Any recommendations?

California small firm attorneys - how is your firm handling the latest shutdown orders?

Everyone remote? Declaring yourselves “critical infrastructure”? Adhering to capacity limits but still meeting with clients?

(I should also add, I’m in estate planning & trust administration. Earlier CA orders specifically exempted legal practice re death and incapacity. Newest ones now seem silent.. Ugh, who knows anymore.)

Looking for advice... 5 months ago I went from Higher Education (HE) Law Firm. I was so excited to move on and was offered about $16K more in my salary.

Today I find myself not excited about my current job and since the firm is much smaller than my last job in HE I feel like there is less growth opportunities. Every day I want to message my old manager about coming back but my wife doesn't think I should primarily because of the stress I went through. Tbh I miss the stress and workload (cont.)

How do you cope when your employer rapidly descends into chaos from the top down? Today is my 2yr anniversary with this company. In the past 6mos, they have repeatedly changed directions / goals, pushing out several supportive and productive managers in favor of a single chauvinist overlord who makes HR violations daily and does no actual work. HR denies every complaint made against him and he retaliates to the point of firing people. Very hostile. How do I survive until I find my next gig?

How many people cook their food after midnight? My roommate has recently started doing this and it's annoying, since I go to bed around that time. Not sure if this is common practice among fellow humans, so seeking advice!

Resignation - I recently quit my job in a very toxic environment and I’ve been here over eight years.

Looking for input and suggestions.

How would you give your manager a negative review?
Manager's boss reached out to obtain review about my manager. I have nothing good to say about him, would you be honest? If yes, how would you go about it knowing that both he and his manager can read this review and know where it's coming from?
