To be or not to be part of an Employee Resource Group (ERG). These groups are generally found in larger corporations for like-minded employees with interests in supporting the military, exercise, non-work activities or generational issues.

Depending on the company one may work for, there may be an ERG. If one or more are available at each job, would you join? Or do you believe that joining would be too much of a risk?

What kind of risk? If you are interested join and if not skip! Depending on your role in ERG you may have some additional tasks to perform. That’s all.

The choice is to join or support from the sidelines is optional, unless "Leadership" requires it in your annual goals. I prefer to be a fly on the wall.

I’m looking for assistance on building your own portfolio in my traditional 401K. I’ve been reading that it’s important to choose funds with low expense ratios. Also, that it is recommended to have at least one US stock, international stock , and bond. I am 24yo so ideally, I’d want to allocate 90%-100% to stocks and 0%-10% to the bond. Any other things I should be looking at?

So I worked from home yesterday and my husband had a sneak peak on my meetings with clients (which I’m very new to being a senior).

Additional Posts in Overemployed

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?
