This post might be gossipy but my former boss tried adding me on LinkedIn and it’s been 5 months since I had a falling out with the firm. Why would he even try this?

how bad was the falling out? did you view his profile recently? what was the falling out in regards to? how involved was your former boss? tons of factors that could influence what’s going on here, but even then, it’s still a complete guess as to *why* he tried adding you (did you decline the request?)

totally understand. i probably would be the same way. you don’t need questionable connections in your network!

I mean, it’s not like he added you on Instagram or something lol, LinkedIn is a professional networking site. It could be as simple as LI suggesting you as someone he might know and him clicking connect. I personally wouldn’t think much of it. I have people from my prior firm that I hate on LinkedIn.

Well looks like they noticed that we weren’t connected because we were before. I had them blocked.

Just add your boss. Your future new employer might see that you’re in good graces with a past employer, and it will look good for you.

Nahhhhh

Add him and report back so we can get the tea ☕️

How do you feel about splitting everything 50-50 with your partner? I don’t feel as rigid about it bc I feel it balances out one way or another, but my partner feels as if he owes me if we don’t split 50-50 and I pay more. I get where he’s coming from but 50-50 just feels transactional and not intimate.
For context: I make 3x more than he does and he’s still finishing his medical fellowship, so I don’t feel it’s a matter of feeling less than.
