Address it as soon as you notice it or it's brought to your attention. It will kill a team's morale and productivity. I usually start by seeking to understand what's going on with empathy and no judgement. We're all human and some time we just wake up on the wrong side of the bed and don't realize we are being snippy or rude with others. So don't bring it up in front of everyone because could cultivate something worse but call the person after and simply ask if everything is OK with them. That you noticed xyz and that's not normal. Yes it's work, but when you approach it from a human level there is more appreciation and trust built. The hope is that person becomes more self aware. I have used this method on numerous occasions and never once has it failed me.

Girlfriend of 3 years cheated on me right before we were supposed to leave the state and move in together. We broke up about 4 months ago. I couldn’t demonize her, so I’m still struggling with processing it and idk what to do. I’ve been looking into therapy, but I can only do online which leaves me hesitant. Any advice would be appreciated.

1) I know that most of you will say that buying an expensive engagement ring is a waste and bad, etc. so let’s start with the assumption that I don’t care and it’s happening
2) does it make sense to finance an engagement ring purchase or buy in cash? If financing, how much would you have to put down for a ~$30k ring? (If you’re upset by this number just replace ring with car or education or wedding or whatever you feel good about lol)

Hi All, just sharing what on mind to vent it out from my system. Maybe with this I could gain some insights and inspiration.
I have been working as a data scientist since 2018 & have been the bread winner. I have neither been under a proper mentor nor with a team of peers from my field to help me out. I was alone and confused. I have never really got the chance to prove myself which makes me all the more depressed. I'm not sure what to do with my future, indecisive and low on confidence.
