Hi, I’m pregnant and interested in lateraling in LA after my maternity leave. Would anyone know if any of these firms are supportive of new mothers and/or have a substantial representation of female partners? I’m in a specialty group in corporate. Latham, Gibson Dunn, White & Case, Mayer Brown, Troutman Pepper, and MoFo

Feeling really nervous, help! I’ve been using topical hydroquinone 4% since before I found out I was pregnant. Now reading the label I realise that it’s not advised and a category C by the FDA - I’m 6 weeks pregnant and have obviously stopped now but really scared I might have caused serious harm to my baby.

Have any of you used this while pregnant and it turned out fine? Any other insights that can give me some peace of mind? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Would you break up with your girlfriend if she doesn’t want kids and you do.... this has been weighing on my mind a lot recently...

Yet another friend/colleague got engaged this weekend. It’s become impossible to celebrate people’s relationships. I’m a POC woman and I’ve been single since coming to the US 10 yrs ago. A handful of men have been interested but they were not Christian or back in my country. So many childless, single women in my church and I’m terrified I’ll be them soon. My non-Christian family doesn’t understand why I’ll only date Christians, or the dating scene in big cities, so they put pressure on me

How do you find a healthy balance between your job and your personal life?

Anyone know how much a full time nanny in the Austin area would cost?

Does anyone have experience breaking up w a therapist? I've been seeing my therapist for 5+ years for eating disorder treatment and we've been through so much together, but I don't think she's able to help me anymore. While I've stopped my ED behaviors, they've evolved into OCD, and I'm finding that her methods might be making it worse. I think I want to try an OCD expert instead. But I don't know how to end the relationship. Do I just stop going? Do I explain myself? I don't know what to do 🥺

My wife got a job that requires us to relocate to San Diego. We have never lived there and know little about the city. We are planning to rent. We stayed in a hotel in little Italy and really loved the vibe there, but it’s too expensive for us. Are there other neighborhoods with similar vibes - restaurants, bars, lively, good for walking, clean, safe, young, diverse and accessible that are more affordable? Please share recommendations. How much should we reasonably budget to rent a 2bd/2bath?

If you loved your small independent broker dealer but they had just been acquired by a much larger corporation which does have benefits in terms, mostly, in technology, but you lose your “family” in the home office, what would you do and who would you look at if you were considering a change of your own?

How do I deal with a parent who has become bitter and shrewd as they age? It’s exhausting and disheartening to be around because they used to be positive and happy. I’d like to help them be positive again but also want to give them space to feel how they feel. I just want them old version of my parent back 😞

What is the tipping etiquette on the free platinum breakfast in a JW Marriott? The server just gets coffee / orange juice and you serve yourself. It is an overpriced buffet that I would never dine in.

Any idea to know about supervisor in Accenture to whom I can report. My HR have no idea about that and it's been a week I have joined accenture. Done with my documentation and all but have no clue what to do now I'm just sitting and doing nothing. Got a mail from MyTE to update my worksheet along with chargecodes and today is the last day. Don't have any idea about supervisor and about chargecodes. Anybody from Accenture can help me with this it's urgent.

Today’s my bday. Also my beloved family dog is getting put to sleep due to cancer. I didn’t take the day off today for either reasons. Do I have my priorities messed up right now?

Hello .. Anyone joining UBS on 31st October in Pune location?

So what are some of the use cases we are seeing in the market ? I’m seeing some in supply chain, some in identity management.

Hello everyone,

I love in Europe and was wondering how difficult or easy getting remote front end position in a US company would be and if the salary would be the same as a US citizen who lives in the US?

I’m having a bad day I took a personal day because last week haven’t been feeling the best and then all my coworkers where talking bad to about me when I was wasn’t there I only found out because my teacher texted me asking why I lied to her. It’s own of your business why I took off

Subs! Internal subbing is draining the life out of teachers. The sub schedule comes out at the last minute bc of so many teacher absences. It’s the split classes in one period (1/2 Gen Ed and a Special Ed class) Teachers on a cart. Subs pick up students and deliver students. Class changeovers take 10 minutes bc of the domino effect. We’re all waiting for next sub. Teachers are late for their own classes. Students are in chaos with rotating subs. We pay $100 a day. Is the Solution in plain sight?

Is anyone else crashing hard today? It’s almost 5pm and I haven’t left my bedroom. My kids are fending for themselves and a little confused about why I haven’t come out. Is it depression or am I just burned out? I switched to middle school after the 4th week of school. Some of my students are so disrespectful and even cruel. Do I need to quit my job or do I just need some r and r?

I just had a tough day any self care tips.

Please join me in 15 minutes for “It Starts with You.”

How do you plan to care for yourself this week?

I truly wish people could understand the emotional damage hoaxes, social media ploys, and ill-intended jokes have on others. It is a deafening feeling when schools become places of survival. Wishing faculty, staff, and students everywhere a safe and peaceful rest of the school year.

How do you deal with finding out that a student died of covid? How do you process it?

SNOW day = self nurturing our wellness day
I couldn't go anywhere or do anything soooooooooo I over enjoyed my self care routine today. When do you find time to love on yourself?

How many of you have experienced or know of any teachers who have gotten the Coronavirus at work?

I’m concerned about the surge in omicron. I packed everything, just in case. Q2 is ending, a new quarter is starting. We get new kids each quarter as a Specials teacher.
It’s stressful at quarter changeovers.
In going back after break, it’s too much of a contrast. I cannot sleep, I wake up in the middle of the night, “for the day”, about 6 nights a week. To stay structured, I go to “Surrender yoga” daily. I’m good to go do 1 more thing after yoga. I feel accomplished. Couching causes anxiety.

It has taken me well over a week and a half to feel like a human again this break. 3 days left and I feel simultaneously like I’m getting shorted and grateful that I had the time to have my breakdown off-the-clock. When do you go back and are you feeling ready?
