Today, my old manager surprised us by coming into the office and taking us out for lunch! He heard I was leaving and wanted to catch up one last time. It was great to reminisce and share a few laughs together. It really means a lot to have that kind of support! Have any of you had a similar experience with a former boss?

Yes. I have a boss who moved to Arizona. My husband and I like to travel to watch spring baseball training. I reached out to him, and we had dinner one evening. He is a super nice guy!

Aw thats so lovely that you keep in touch! Is that a long way from you?

That is so nice to hear! Most of my former managers are neutral at best. Currently, I have a very supportive boss and could definitely see that kind of relationship carrying on if either one of us left.

Neutral at best sounds about right. I'd crossover the street if I saw most of my other previous bosses.

That’s so lovely, how lucky are you! I had a boss that had the same morals, and took 2 of us out for lunch when he was leaving and again when catching up. It really does mean a lot.

Yes, i have. One of my past managers took me out for coffee after i left and just wanted to hear how i was doing. It felt genuine, not transactional. Those are the kind of leaders you remember years later.

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

I’m not bad with money but definitely lots of room to improve overall, due to several personal factors I don’t want to list in full here (numerous unanticipated medical bills, bad boyfriends, etc.) Hence why I only have $3k in savings right now. My first mini goal is to have $5k saved by the end of December. I need motivation and words of encouragement. If I pay off my medical bills, I won’t make my goal. I have to start putting saving money first. Getting depressed about my situation.

I’m currently working with a senior level HR candidate. This individual has a doctorate in business with a focus in HR, her SPHR, Federal, and private sector experience at the singer level, and has a fabulous personality. I’m curious is anyone else having difficulties play some candidates like this? At this point I’m starting to think it’s racial or her sex based of the lack of interest in this candidate. Any thoughts?

Question to Leadership!
1. You are calling all the employees in the office & just providing lunch? That's all for completing 150 years?
2. You would ask questions, and whoever is able to answer it, you will give some merchandise only to them?, And the other people are not your employees?
Why are you even organizing it? You think people would come from far places just for lunch?
