Wow my girlfriend is kicking me out of my home office because it's "hard for her to go in the other room and take a phone call."

It's going to be so much fun looking for an office space, paying for it, and driving there every day so my future wife can sit at home and talk on the phone and watch TV without the burden of me making money we live on distracting her.

Insert wild scream here

I hate going home for Thanksgiving because I always feel like I haven't succeeded enough yet and my family has seen me fail a lot

Is anyone’s company offering to pay portion of your rent as home office expense? Especially if company is no longer paying for commercial office space?

Last night I slept over my boyfriend’s apt. We are sexually active together but this time he woke up at 4/5am and started fingering me and eating me out. I was somewhat awake but I don’t know how to feel about this. Thoughts?

Anyone have recommendations for solid couples massages? Want to treat my SO to a pamper day from a legit place that knows what they’re doing since she has back problems

I felt like a walking zombie during thanksgiving, barely eating and barely talking. My family is small and I told them ahead of time my relationship ended. I focused on my niece and nephews, cried when I wanted to and slept from 8pm-noon for the last 5 days. Showered once or twice. That’s the best I could do and that’s OK right now. I’m back in my apartment, just trying to take it one day at a time, and not re read his texts too much. My birthday is Thursday 🙄

My confession is I have always had very competetive and hardworking close friends around me with whom I felt amazing to compete, do more and be the best. A few years back we all made to different countries, now I achieve far less than my potential and find it hard to be as efficient as before. How to fix this?

Leaving Amazon saved my life. I spent over seven years at the company and after about 6 months I began experiencing a lot of stress-related things like hair falling out, tension in my marriage etc. All that is gone now. I feel so free.

Finally getting a chance to put together a home office space. Looking for tips, photos, ideas. I have two monitors and a laptop so my do a three screen set-up. Debating about getting a standing desk or putting money in a super comfy leather chair. Open to hearing what you have done!

Do men in their 30s actually want to settle down and get married? It seems like most are pretty happy with their single lifestyle. Asking as a 26F who is looking for commitment if I should even bother

How did you get started in your career as an FA? I work in the home office and have been an assistant to an FA before. I have a network, I have ambition, I have credibility and connections at my firm..

Well, I was the one who broke it off. I couldn’t get him to love me the way I needed or even respect me enough. It’s been 6 weeks of not seeing each other. We messaged this week. He doesn’t get it…. His messages show he still doesn’t know what he wants. Yet, if I am totally honest, I hate how part of me wishes he would do a grand gesture/finally decide to be a better man. It’s delusional. It’s crazy how love can be so rosy, sweet & blinding that the red flags seem surmountable.

Trying to get a 45 y/o sibling in to consulting (was an entrepreneur prior in the restaurant industry). No college degree but willing to bust his but to learn. Books/online courses recommended pls

Do you consider your in-laws family? For example, if your spouse’s sibling has children, do you consider those kids as your family or your spouse’s family?

For those of you without a home office: Where do you usually work? My desk is in my bedroom and I’m considering sacrificing aesthetic to move my set up elsewhere

My fiancée and I have been struggling for this way too long (disregard the price)

Love my boyfriend but embarrassed by him when he gets drunk... he always seems to be the drunkest person at happy hour when we go out w friends/starts slurring/eyes aren’t as focused. cant tell if I’m the one that’s being restrictive — does anyone else feel this way w their partner?

Any book recommendations for grieving the death of an estranged parent?

Anyone that is WFH but rents a small office space to work from?

I don't want to have to go to an office with coworkers, but I do feel like I'd be more productive getting out of home office a couple of days per week.

Feel the same?

I had quite the day the other day. Coustmer comes in and then ends up leaving with a grossed out look on his face just for him to put in a complaint about my appearance...he down right called me some nasty things for no reason. Still feeling gross about it. He was upset for no reason as far as I'm concerned.

Worth it to use 300K bonvoy points for over a week in Maui? I keep hoarding these things but trying to plan a Hawaii trip and think now is the time to burn them

I have $30 remaining in my technology subsidy. Can I use it to pay part of a purchase of an earphone set worth $200

Can’t. Stop. Shopping!
What are some things that you splurged on during WFH?

I have an offer from pwc uk, mostly Manchester office. What is the salary I should be aiming if it's senior associate 3?

As part of TCS onboarding, the BGV check third party company has sent message today to verify address through a link.

When will the Hike letters be out ?

Outside counsel has been prepping company witnesses for a trial in August. It is my subject area so I am supervising outside counsel. I did not, however, choose the counsel. He is doing a really awful job. Co counsel is better, but not great either. Higher ups love the firm… I do not want to micromanage, but I have genuine concerns about outside counsel’s ability to try this case. Trials are rare, and I just don’t think these guys have actually tried many cases. Cont. below…

Is it possible not having a car in LA and still getting around safely? I‘m European and used to superb public transport, but I don’t want to use public transport at night and running the risk of being robbed or murdered! Any suggestions?

What are some side gigs people have done that they wouldn't pursue again today? Are there any you'd still go for, but would approach completely differently?

Thinking along the lines of:
- Platforms you'd keep away from
- Gigs that people have missed the boat on by now or instead that have just taken off only now
- Specific hustles that aren't worth the upfront cost/hassle in setting up or that are super hard to hire for
- Policies/attitudes you'd adopt going into things this time around

Happy Halloween, my fellow Tech Pros! I love this Holiday, anyone come up with a creative costume to wear at work?

I was reading a post in another group that asked how folks were celebrating Diwali outside of India and 2 people mentioned that their whole street (in the US) exchanged sweets, put up lights, and pitched in for a community firecrackers permit. This had me wondering if this happened in the US for Eid as well in cites where there is a big Muslim population. Also, how do you all celebrate Eid? For folks who are grew up in the west, is there anything you plan on doing differently with your kids?

Still really want to know how that Strategist's conversation with the boss went today.

Out of curiosity, how much $ did you start making before buying a pet?

Whomever is doing the tv placement for Advocate Healthcare in Chicago: do you have to have the ad going every other commercial? If I hear “come on get healthy” one more time, I’m leaving the state.

Hey guys! Working on an interesting personal project and would like to know who you guys would suggest as having the freshest haircut in the ad game! Their names, portfolio and agency would be great.

A recruiter from one of the Publicis houses reached out to me about an open position. I'm seeing positions I'd rather have in other Publicis houses. How can I leverage this contact to find the right recruiters for the job I want?

So if the supporting rules(PM, BA, Digital producer. Etc) within an ad agency gets paid more than the creatives who are making the work, what does it mean for being a young creative?

Hi all. I can't help but feel that my current 'Digital Managing Partner' job title is a little too niche when it comes to LinkedIn job/resume keyword relevance, particularly outside of a media agency environment. However, a 'Digital Director' title feels too junior and 'Managing Director' maybe a little more senior. Any logical suggestions please? Thanks

Confession: Sometimes I give money to homeless people that look like they might be an undercover billionaire looking for a kind soul to leave their fortune to. Does that make me a bad person?

Why ask me to take the lead on something I was never apart of to begin with? Annoying asf

Grey NY news on 4-Day work week option. Thoughts?

Is it normal for every single call (client or internal) everyone dials in from their desks at an open format office? Everyone avoids takings calls together/conference rooms like the plague.

John Patroulis is about to start running shit at Grey. Better that Tor?

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

Why do some art directors only really start looking at stuff at the 11th hour? Thus forcing people to stay late on the Friday of a 3 day weekend.

Going to remove the Toyota logo off a truck in post ... is that good enough? It's still recognizable from the way the grill looks, but no logo. Don't want to ask our legal. They'll probably tell us to scrap the shot.

Finally wrote the 3 social scripts 2 hours before they were due when I was briefed over 2 weeks ago, what are you doing?
