What do consultants do? I see Consultant titles pop up on here all the time and wonder what do y’all do? What are you consulting on? Seems interesting but i I googled and am still confused.

Girlsplaining consulting: companies in their flop era hire us for ungodly amounts of money to yessify their problems and we usually use PowerPoints to do it

We also gaslight companies into thinking something else is wrong and we can fix it but really it’s just more PowerPoints :)

Have you ever copied a friends paper but reworded it so you don’t get caught?
But you get a better grade somehow.


That’s what I do at work, but for “tech strategy”.

My work is kinda like if a company had a life coach slash therapist, but one who did most of the hard work of change FOR you. So it depends on what a given client is struggling with or needs, then the goal is to basically fix that for them in a sustainable way so it stays fixed. And they pay us money, and they more or less get to take credit for the positive changes (or blame the firm for negative stuff).

Consultants are frequently someone who has experience in things that a client doesn't, and who comes in and solves a problem or manages a project that is temporary in nature.

The client pays more for the convenience of having an expert for a specified amount of time so that they don't have to hire someone, when having that talent in-house is either too expensive for the long term, or because that talent isn't even available locally.

I am seeing a guy and having a hard time thinking about him in terms of long term relationship. One thing that bothers me is that he never showers after he comes back from the gym and I told him that I find it nasty. We currently live separately so I don't have to see him after he works out which is a good thing but I can easily see this being a problem in the future. Any tips? And NO I don't want to go to therapy lol

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says). Whenever I try to initiate, he always shuts me down and says he’s not in the mood. I even touch him and he gets hard but stops me as soon as I try to unzip him. We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭
