Would you date someone who is also in consulting?
My partner recently joined a consulting firm and they are constantly asking for help and advice on their work/excel/pptx... I've always loved helping her with her things, but now it feels a bit annoying. I don't want to think about work related things after finishing my work, but I also don't want to feel like an a-hole by not helping...

Hey

Male here,

Anyone up for weekend catchup and drive ...female preferred ;)

Felt particularly good about how I looked today. And when I saw that a certain someone wasn’t at the office, I felt disappointed. Didn’t realize I was attracted until then. How do I un-realize it? 🤦🏼‍♀️

When you're on a date and you say what you do...what are the reactions?

Anyone know a place to safely meet other kinksters?

I went through my gf’s phone and found out she had a crush on my best friend when we first started dating (over a year ago). I suspected this at first but it hurts to have it confirmed and see her telling her friends about him. I’m not sure how I should feel since I went out of line to look through her phone.

I feel like being gay just adds another layer of difficulty while trying to date in consulting.

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

Are you responsible for giving performance feedback? Avoid giving personality based feedback. Examples include telling an Asian person they are too quiet/shy or telling a Black person they are agressive/abrasive. DO NOT DO THIS. It clearly represents bias in Performance Management. Performance feedback should be tied to business outcomes with clear examples of what the person does well + how they can improve.

I think there should be more males caretakers in this world. Some of my clients just feel more comfortable with a guy and it's kind of sad how often they say I'm the only male they could find.

I saw my friends text messages (iPhone) and saw that she was texting a guy she shouldn’t be texting. She told me that the “Maybe” function on her iphone is glitching & the wrong name shows up. Cont.

There’s now a lawsuit in Texas challenging PREP. How much longer do y’all plan to live in the US? This is actually how I predicted this would unfold. That folks with moral objections would file a lawsuit like this, and then get it up to The Church for review, and then overturn Lawrence v Texas. This is just happening a lot faster than I thought.

I work in a firm that is known for litigation defense. I’ve been developing my own plaintiffs practice as well. I am able to pay the bills with my hourly defense work, which gives me time to focus on a handful of high value PI case a year on contingency. I was recently negotiating a case and was told part of the reason the claims rep/OC was jerking me around was because they didn’t see me as a plaintiffs attorney. Is there any way to change this perception or does it just come over time?
