Why are many of the desi SMs I come across, workoholic? So discouraging. I came to the US to skip the desi politics while offshore. But aasman se gire and khajoor mein atake ho gaya yaha. 🤦🏽‍♂️

I want to quit so bad and just sit in silence for hours.

I just started my third trimester and recently fractured one of my molars while eating soft fries (not sure how), but I had a root canal done on that tooth years ago so the tooth is actually a crown. I went to a dentist for consult and the dentist informed me that I will need a new crown since I lost a big chunk of the old one. The dentist wouldn’t even consider any other options because he doesn’t believe there is a good temporary fix… (More in comments)

So I work for a multimillion dollar company
Here’s my dilemma. I started as a temp in the traffic department as a scheduler in April of 2021. I was making 44K a year with ZERO benefits.
I applied for a different position in logistics and got the job! BUT is came with a HUGE pay cut. I went from making 44K a year to 32K. I work my butt off and feel like I should be making more for my responsibilities. I’ve only been here a year but I do more than I should.
Is it too soon to renegotiate my pay?

I suppose I’m considered an ABCD but I was born in India so I am hoping you fish will be able to understand: lately, I’m really struggling to make conversation with my own dad. It originally started with him telling me I should get married which led to me keeping a distance from him. Throughout my whole life my dad has basically been the one to be the rational voice - telling me to study, to work hard, to go to grad school, and encouraged all those things. Conversations always centered around what I had to do and they were less friend-like. It also doesn’t help that Indian dads don’t take vacation, don’t like to do “fun” things. Are any other fish struggling with this?
