Then don’t attend. I’m so tired of ppl complaining about others doing what they can to make the best of this situation. Some of us are on solitary projects, or are living alone, or living with family driving us crazy etc etc and appreciate the social interaction. If you don’t, fine, but don’t complain about it

To be honest I didn’t even see the “Senior VP” title when I replied because there are 3+ posts a day from people bitching about these virtual happy hours so just assumed you were staff level. Knowing that you are Senior VP I can understand the required attendance for you....however, you are also in a Senior Mgmt position so you’ve got to be above complaining about team meetings. I’m sure you pull a very nice salary, I think you can suck it up for an hour of teambuilding and not complain on FB about it.

I feel offended. Let me drink with whoever it takes while I’m getting paid, I don’t mind 🤣

Please advice on what we should do now.
Should we part ways or should we fight for it?

Been having trouble moving on since girlfriend ended relationship 3 weeks ago after 2+ years of dating. Before ending it she came over 3 weeks prior to basically give me a chance to work things out and we had a good discussion but then I went back into our routine and didn’t really fight for it or have serious follow up convos that we needed. Now I just have so many regrets that I let her go. I know we still love each other and left on “good” terms but can’t forgive myself for my lack of action.

I am a traditional reservist so I never really used military benefits before, but could use advice here.

My landlord will not work with me to end the lease early, so it looks like I will have to double up on rent and mortgage through the summer.

If I went on active duty orders, can I use those orders to break my lease early without penalty?
