Unpopular opinion- I think people try too hard not to burn bridges. I agree it's important to try and maintain friendly relationships, but it's also important to consider how you're being treated. What are your thoughts on this?

100%. I’m team 'don’t set yourself on fire to keep bridges warm.' Be respectful, but not at the cost of your dignity. If someone treats you poorly, they already burned the bridge. I learned that the hard way after having a manager who screamed at me. What’s one behavior that’s totally unacceptable to you?

I think as a general rule it's best not to burn bridges. It just makes sense, we never know what the future holds, and we may run into the same characters again. And, in some fields that's almost assured. But I would say that we will all encounter some bridges that probably deserve to be burned. Maybe it's good not to get too dramatic over it, but putting some situations in the rear-view mirror is often the best choice.

I mostly agree with this. If push comes to shove, you have to be willing to put yourself first. Thankfully this has not happened to me often in my career, but if it does, I know I'd be willing to sacrifice that friendly relationship for the sake of my own wellbeing.

I am embarking on egg freezing soon and I got some unpleasant news today after a scan. I had a scan 2 months ago and my follicle count was slightly low then. As I was on birth control at the time, I had to go off it and repeat the scan two months later. In the 2nd scan we found that I only had 6 follicles and that we would only be able to get 4-6 eggs per cycle. I am 36 and I decided to start this process now more just as backup. I have never dreamt of being a mother and yet this news has (cont)

Please, I need your opinion on this. I have 6 years of experience as a software developer and just finished my masters degree in data science. Now I am looking for a job here in the US. I went through the hiring process with this company and finally got an offer. They offered 88k/year and I responded opening a negotiation. They emailed me back saying that I am no longer in this process anymore with no further explanation and in Thanksgiving day. Is that normal?that email really got me very upset

I’ve been married for a while now (5+ years) but feeling completely checked out. My wife has zero conflict resolution skills and can’t control her anxiety, so we constantly bicker if I ever do anything that offends her, and she wants to spend all her time talking about the constantly changing projects she will never start. I can’t ever talk about anything that worries me because she just freaks out. We have kids and she has no ability to earn money so leaving would be impossible financially

Dumb question, I want to send money to my brother and am thinking Zelle to his cell # is the best option as it seems to be free and easy for him to access (vs a visa gift card).

Any potential hangups? I'd rather not tip him off ahead of time if possible as he'd probably be embarrassed to accept it but also don't want it to get lost or for him to not be able to access it for any reason.

Paypal might be another option but I don't know for certain I have the correct email for his PayPal.
