Anyone successfully take STD or extended long term disability for final IVF procedure? I’d like to take 6 months, Destress before hand then go into extraction.

Looking for recommendations of at home workout videos for first trimester pregnancy. Please share any that work well for you.

I am pregnant and don’t feel pregnant most of the time. I’m only 6 weeks so have to wait awhile before any visual confirmation. And then you worry about all the ones after that before 24 weeks or so. How do you cope? I am trying to be positive. I’ve had a miscarriage before so I’m nervous as well. I try some calming meditation and things like head massages but that lasts an hour tops!!

Hi!

Considering an Accenture offer currently.
Are there work from home stipends to buy equipment available?
What about insurance for mental health/ therapy?

Thanks!!!!

I created this bowl because I did not see one like it in Fishbowl. I feel that sometimes we don’t express how we feel because we are ashamed. Having a space where we can anonymously share what we are going through can be helpful as other can share what they are doing to keep a healthy mind. I, myself, am dealing with what I think is depression or anxiety caused by my current job, and I just don’t feel like I can just express myself to those I know, so I created this bowl. Let’s help each other 😀

Hi All,
How's the job security at Accenture as such? I know that last year, they sacked people ruthlessly and now are facing a resource crunch. Also that they mandatorily place poor performers in PIP.

But how is it in general? Should I perform as per expectation, can I be relaxed about the job security aspect or do you always need to be on your toes?

I believe that one PM role is preferred in the industry and most modern software companies, especially FAANG companies, only have PMs. Just curious what others have experienced and if I'm correct in my assumption.
