I have a reverse question, OP:
why are people doing sh*t things to other people when they stand to gain NOTHING out of it (e.g., no promotion, no recognition, no extra money, etc.)?
Like, why even bother?

No money, promotion, recognition can buy one the internal happiness that comes from helping others without having a hidden agenda.

The transactional behavior comes from a fixed pie/limited mentality, abundance comes from knowing that there is no pie, everyone makes whatever they want/can do. When doing things for someone else, good performers know that there is more where it comes from, and work in a non-transactional/ dynamic way.

What is a useful, comprehensive but not too long of a book for parenting toddlers?

LO is 16 months old, very sweet and social, at the park every day with other kids with either me or her nanny. Not in day care. Yesterday we had a play date and she slapped another baby on the head. Not hard and did not scare her, but the act of “aggression” took me by surprise and I felt terrible about it. I’d like to be more proactive about toddler psychology, what’s to come and how to react/ teach. TY!

Hello All, Office Sup. for a major hospital, w/ 15 years experience. I have lots of experience in every position in the office, especially in training. I recently applied for an EPIC trainer position within the company and according to Glassdoor the average pay is about 23k more than what I currently make. I’m afraid of getting a lowball offer since 1. they obviously know my current salary and 2. I’d be new at this particular role, although I meet qualifications. Any advice if that’s the case?

Aside from main items like comp and big ticket benefits like PTO/health insurance/401k, what other items do I need to think about discussing/negotiating? For example, fees to keep bar licensure, professional association fees, CLEs, etc. I feel like there is so much on that end I currently take for granted being covered at my firm. Anything else I should consider?
