There’s something surreal about working the week between Christmas and New Year’s. Half the team’s out, meetings disappear, and suddenly you have time to think and that’s when the existential dread creeps in. Last year, I sat in a half-empty office staring at a spreadsheet and realized I didn’t want to be there at all. It was like the quiet exposed everything I’d been ignoring. Do you use this week to reflect on your career… or just try to survive it?

Do you set up any standards when you date with anybody? I’m currently dating with a Mexican man. He is older than me 10 years old (I thought 6 when we first met). His job is construction and made less than me. He is insecure about the money but I’m not really. But, the one bothering me is that he is illegal immigrant. Other than that, He is a cure, nice and independent guy. When dating, he split money/ or want to cover for me. He cares about people around. I am happy but not sure about LT.

Hello, after doing some research I believe I’m being underpaid. About 4 months ago HR did a market analysis for my role. They bumped my salary for about $2k. I’m a mid-level Executive assistant with 6 years of experience and currently supporting 5 executives at a fortune 50 company. One C level and 4 Vice Presidents. I’m currently making $61,000 with bonus included. Based on my research I should at least be making $71,400. I have a check in with my boss tomorrow and I am asking for a raise.
