Why can’t you ask them out? Do they report to you? Life is too short to keep wondering 🙃

They report to me. Said person is a mediocre worker but extremely good looking. Given I have had to provide feedback for improvement they may not like me

A peer maybe, but feelings for a subordinate? I wouldn't touch that with a 10' pole.

Maybe just do it once and that would blow off the steam. After that just get back to business as usual. Given they are already mediocre, just flag them for layoffs and/or performance improvement if it becomes too difficult to deal with. You deserve some fun my friendj

VP stop talking.. it’s just getting worse more you talk.. gender doesn’t matter, principle holds..

Asking them out: 50% chance of a date.
Not asking them out: 0% chance of a date.

Just do it. “Hey are you free on Monday after work? I know a great wine bar.”

We are all remote. The feelings got escalated on my end after we traveled to client site once. A few more weeks, I will get through this

I know, I won’t.

All I am saying is workplace romances can be easier then dating apps if you know the right levers to pull. Think of it as another perk at work. Just get off your high horses and chill. Maybe if y’all followed my advice you won’t be so sad and depraved

Rage baiting can feel so satisfying at times😝

Once when I was waiting tables, I had a guy pay me cash. The change was 45 cents, which I didn't give back to him because like who wants that. He then asked where the change was, and when I explained that I didn't give back the loose change, he made a big stink about how dollars and cents matter and didn't leave me a tip. He was a republican staffer on capitol hill.

What is the advice on what feedback to leave for a peer who really sucks at everything y'all have worked together on? It's about the time where everyone on my team requests feedback from each other and I'm nervous for it coming up. My manager knows that everything I've worked w her on I end up doing 90% of the work when it's meant to be split so it is a known issue. We're both at level 3 so are genuinely peers. She seems like a nice person but i have 0 positive work feedback tbh

Well sh*t...what’re y’all doing?

Need advice. Very Shy guy and girl, met a while back for a side hustle both like each other a LOT, relationship has progressed in other areas but not in the physical realm, primarily because neither officially asked the other out. Guy is a very rough around edges, asked for a date by saying ‘anytime you need breakfast or lunch, let me know’. I am an independent gal and didn’t like the way it came across. I really want to take this forward but am out of ideas on how to make a date happen.
