Ugh, is that time of year again! Does anyone have any advice on how to handle "friends" and family members who spout conspiracy theories to avoid getting the flu shot

I treat this like I treat coworkers I don't like (especially when their mind is made up). I just thank them for giving their opinion and change the topic.

On a side note, I will not voluntarily interact in person with anyone not vaccinated against COVID and flu (family included), but I have the excuse of having a baby to thank!

The flu shot isn’t mandatory?

AITA: My friend keeps asking me for financial advice. I set up a budget for her and have her concrete advice. And I field all of her investing questions. But still, she continues to be reckless with her money. She’s 42, single (no kids), and making $100k+ and is still living check to check.

I don’t want to waste my breathe on helping her since nothing seems to be getting through to her. AITA?

I want to take more brainstorming, decision making responsibilities but I don’t see that in the career path for PM. Career path usually goes like this- Sr PM, Director, Sr Director, and so on.
