Was part of the initial COVID graduating class and have been WFH since starting. My pup and I spent so much time together over the last six years while I was in school. We’re emotionally codependent, and now I’m dreading the thought of having to go into the office regularly… Anyone else dealt with this? Got any tips?

She isn’t an only pup, just the only pup who sulks like that. And she never misbehaves or anything, she’s just… sad. I know she’ll “get used to it,” but I’d to hear about ways people have successfully comforted their overly-attached pets. She is a lab, so food and fetch are her love languages.

I’m having the hardest time finding a new job. I have 12 years of HR experience, a masters in HR, SHRM certification, and all I keep getting are rejection emails.

HR opinion: Do I have any leverage as a hospital nurse case manager in negotiating earned time? I have 15 years within the organization, left for 10 months to be remote during the pandemic while sorting out childcare as immunocompromised family helped. Now HR is restarting my ET as a new employee. I realize I left, but not on bad terms and I am an exemplar and respected employee. I thought I’d have the upper hand with the nursing shortage but I’m getting the “rules are rules” response. Help!?!

Hi all,
I graduated during Covid with a double major in business administration and business management with a minor in marketing and magically ended up in sales because I needed a job. I’m about to take a data analytics course to make an attempt to break into that field. I’m currently looking for a mentor to help guide me during this time. Also, if anyone is willing to look over my resume and give me tips on how to make it more presentable for recruiters in DA that would be very helpful. Thanks
