Do not spin on things the client doesn’t care about. Speak up internally to reduce this if needed. Find out what they do care about and spend your time there.

How do you tow the fine line between sticking up for yourself and not talking back to a partner? For context, our firm has seemingly started making a paper trail for layoffs and I disagree with some of the emails that I have received. I want to respond in a way that covers my own ass. However, I don’t want to piss anyone off, especially if I have read the situation incorrectly.

I left an agency job that I loved for “my dream job” in-house. It’s been a few months, but I’m really missing my old job. I feel silly for leaving it, esp because I’m realizing my “dream job” isn’t doing it for me, despite it paying much more than my old job. What do I do?

Some agents are not sincere, and some houses have a negative record (this is what we call the incidents inside the homes), but many agents do not say it. I know it is about ethics, but at the same time, it should be punishable because you are deceiving a person to take advantage of the situation; it is a scam.

I have a fear of commitment with everything in my life: accepting a job (if I have multiple offers), accepting a college, signing a lease somewhere, and starting a relationship. Once I get started, I know I’ll love it, but the decision kills me. In a relationship, I fear the point they will leave me (abruptly) & also fear I’ll never be able to love them the way they love me (if they come off strong in the beginning). Also want to explore my options, even if no one wants me. Anyone else??
