Spend so much time managing people’s feelings and mood to get work or get work done. So exhausting, I am ok with machines replacing us all.

I’m an HR Generalist. My job is a mix of recruitment and Employee Relations. I find the recruitment aspect to be pretty enjoyable and stress free, but the Employee Relations aspect does often give me a lot of anxiety (I’m a very anxious person to begin with). Recently, it’s been worse because I have several ER cases currently that seem like they could be potentially turning into lawsuits. Do others in ER experience these anxieties? If so, how do you manage them?

Is labor pain really hard? What about the epidural? If that is taken do things get better?

How has talking to your matches been? ☺️

How do I politely hint at a guy I have just started seeing that he is moving to fast? We have only been seeing each other for a couple of weeks and not had any sort of exclusiveness discussions or anything but he is texting and expecting replies multiple times a day (I am currently on vacation away from the city we both live in), planning trips together in several months, letting me know how much he likes and misses me several times a day. I like him but I am starting to feel very overwhelmed.

Current non-SWE Googler in interviews for Partner role in MBB. I have previously worked at MBB at the Analyst level and disliked the “grind” / lack of autonomy in that role.

This is meant as a compliment to your superior ability to balance your life: How do partners have time for fishbowl? It seems so small compared to yalls lives?

Has anyone here not pursued an extension because client isn’t listening to advice, whitewashes statuses, purposefully misreports (read: lies) despite what data clearly shows, misses deadlines and then just rebaselines dates, etc. because of concern they will fail and try to blame consultants (so reputational risk) and for other reasons (e.g., no value in time billed, other work could be pursued, mental health, etc)?

Can anyone recommend a career coach?

Would like some advice from partners. I was in financial services doing accounting, tax, technology and implementation for hedge funds through my career. I’m looking to settle on a specialty now.

I’m looking for good upside that’s really a good career for the long haul. Thank you in advance!!

Also, what’s a dream consulting exit these days- tech, startup or large company?

How many of you see a recession coming and what do you anticipate will happen to staff ?

Is it silly to want to feel valued by my Partner/Practice Leader?

He rewards me well rating/comp-wise, gives me a lot of latitude etc but OTOH I constantly get blown off for check-ins, multiple emails ignored, excluded from some conversations that might be relevant for me, etc.

Maybe it’s just normal Partner behavior and I should grow a thicker skin, but generally feel emotionally disconnected from him and that my portfolio of work is not integral, or is an afterthought, to the practice.
