Thread p 1:
At my previous job where I was a shareholder and department head, I made it no secret that I was not straight. It startled my boss/the owner of the company, and he ragged on me from time to time about liking women. We were jokey from time to time, so I never read into it. Until he hit on me (not as subtly as he thought) and 4 other women (that I know of; I'm sure he hits on anything with bewbs)...

How do you tell your boss you're quitting without burning bridges? Please note we're in busy season for the engagements I've been staffed on, which is what makes me nervous and guilty. TIA

Heard from me:

“Oh, junior person, you have edits to the monthly activity report 3 days after your deadline to review the report, and after I sent it to the client? How lovely for you."

I got promoted a while ago and still feel like I’m not qualified. Have you ever experienced this? Is it bad to tell your boss you don’t think you should have been promoted?

When do you think associates are usually let go in small practice groups that are currently being overwhelmed with work? Is it when it starts to slows down or when they already have a candidate to replace you? Just trying to figure out how long I have after annoying a partner 😂.

Hi Fishes, I am ready to resign from my current organisation and I was wondering if I need to discuss this with my reporting manager first. I have never talked to my reporting manager , do I need to discuss with him before I resign or I should just do it in the portal directly.

Yet again I’m watching a client fuck up a nice spot so bad I can’t put it in my reel. Absolutely disheartening.

Gonna be in Denver for a couple of days in mid-July, anyone down to play tour guide? Can promise flirty conversation + cocktails at the very least…perhaps more if the vibe feel right. 30 M, tall and, dare I say, handsome…in case that matters 😊

Was contacted by a sourcer for a big 4 firm. Five minutes into the conversation about my background she says we can’t move forward because it would be a conflict of interest since I sub for that company. Is there a way to get around this or perhaps a cooling off period? Thanks in advance.

I’ll start hooking up with someone with no intention of dating them because of red flags, but if the sex is good I want to lock it down for the future (even if we are not compatible in our personality, I’ll start to see them in a positive way and flirt more since it makes the sex even better)! The guy starts to think I want a relationship (which is half true) and then distances himself. Anyone else go through this cycle?

35F divorced with a kid. I think I will never get remarried or in a serious relationship again. Lots of men don't like dating women with children. At my age either the guys are past their prime, divorced/ing and have to provide half their income to their first wife. Many with kids live on the same street as their ex wives so they can be close to their child. I'm not comfortable dating guys like that. On the flip side there are the ones that were never married, which by this age cont

Just found this bowl and it’s hilarious. I feel less guilty for shamelessly flirting on fishbowl now

If you’re in a relationship (even a happy one), is flirting fine or walking a line? I think consistently flirting with the same person can be shaky, but what about strangers if you’re out?

Doctor rec’s? I was in DC before and I used to go to Whitman Walker, an LGBT focused primary care clinic, clean, efficient and friendly, and they understood the LGBT needs, like PrEP, very well, which is mainly what I need from my PCP. Is there such a thing in NYC?

I went on ONE date with a guy that lives next door months ago. He told me he eats out every night and tips his doordahers poorly. That was a red flag, so I never talked to him again. Anyhoo, I bumped into him tonight, and he cussed me out so bad at a CVS. I’m confused as to what I did wrong?

Someone I’ve started seeing uses they/them pronouns. I’m trying my best but still feel like I make mistakes. When I want to address them is it ok to say how are you or should I say how are they?

I know I will get hated by saying this. Do you think gay pride events are portraying a bad image about our community to public? (Drugs, sexual, inappropriate clothes, and sometimes like strip clubs- some parts). I know it is right to present us but I just feel it is not the right way to show who we are. I wish the pride where everybody can connect in a more friendly way (outdoor game- team work, dance, drink something not too sexual.) there are some good parts of pride tho. Any opinions?

I’m so single I don’t know why. I’ve tried dating apps, played social sports, done hobbies that interest me, and even stopped looking. After all that, I still haven’t found someone #dyingalone
