When are we betting the office will close for this Covid19 plague?

Hey all, just claiming my seat on a Saturday night. Was just struggling and another comment helped me get back to a healthy space. If anyone is struggling tonight, know there’s one fellow here thinking of you

Any massage recs in downtown/Back Bay/Southie? Looking to go with my roommates to treat ourselves, but I also have some upper back/neck pain. Is massage envy any good or are there better options that aren’t crazy expensive?

Just started Zoloft. Can I drink? I know it’s I’ll advised, but will it destroy my liver or just add to the depression?

Just got another negative test. I'm so lost. How do I handle the monthly roller coaster of emotions? Hope, disappointment on repeat. 😔

Any women here with lean PCOS? I do not ovulate on my own (metformin regulated my periods but I still don’t ovulate) and am moving from three cycles of Clomid/IUI to IVF soon. No other issues have been found other than my PCOS (HSG shows tubes open). Curious about your experiences. And the reason I mentioned lean PCOS is because it seems for others with PCOS part of the fertility path is diet/exercise/weight loss but I am already very tiny.

For those who had a successful pregnancy with ivf, do you remember when or if you had the symptoms? I am now 10 days post transfer and dont really feel anything except lazy and tired but that could also be from progesterone supplements.

Do cheat meals actually help you lose weight, assuming you're eating at a decent deficit every other day and exercising regularly?

Has anyone tried to get an antibody test here yet? How hard is it to get one?

Thoughts on Razorfish Health?

What are some good gyms in the city? I like to do a mix of cardio and strength, a pool would be nice but not a must.

What are your thoughts on those who refuse to wear cloth masks as a healthcare professional?

How do you respond to a super close friend who says they're not making masks mandatory at their June wedding (about 150 guests) because they want to have fun. To be fair, most people are vaccinated but not everyone os going to be vaccinated. I haven't been to any large gatherings in pver a year and even though im vaccinated, i don't think this is safe. Are people are generally careful? I dont think so... am i overthinking this?

I have a therapist that I see twice a month and it has helped me to some extent. I feel like I’m in a general plateau. I feel like we are going through some repetitive themes that I see and understand. I have high functioning depression and I’m going through the “and what?” Phase of it all. Is this common? How do you move on?

Anybody taken adhd meds while pregnant? Or quit because you were pregnant? How did work go?

Any tips for getting into morning workouts? I’d love to do it but I’m not sure if I can get up early enough

Keto strips recommendations? Other testing approach recommendations? Thanks! (Day 2 closing up!)

For those of you on medication, how do you manage delayed flights causing you to miss appointments? Often, cancellation policies are strict, expensive, and require several days notice.

Took my first ever sick day today on account of my very poor and worsening mental health. Just could not bring myself to put in another 14 hour day with back to back meetings and constant activity. Felt very guilty but I honestly wish I could be more honest and actually share with my manager about why I took a day off.

For those also going through this, any tips on how you manage yourself day to day? What self talk tends to help?

I just started taking mirtazapine again b/c depression has completely taken over my life.

Not looking forward to the weight gain 😕

Hi! I started at a new company 2 months ago and while I’m really enjoying my job so far, I’m having a hard time gauging whether or not I’m doing a “good job.” My role seems to be always evolving, which is fine and I actually enjoy being a support to the greater marketing team, but I feel like I need better defined targets to make sure I’m meeting expectations. Also, when I ask my boss what they’d like to see, I don’t ever get a clear answer. (Cont’d in comments)

When does a person get promotion from manager to senior manager in cognizant?

I have almost one year of experience in Tech Support in a renowned MNC then moved to another MNC as fresher and has been system engineer for two years. I have automation testing skills but worked in manual testing.

Apart from automation testing as suggestion what else (certifications or any as such) could help my growth for either salary or promotion?

And also please advice me what are the possibilities for me to change company?

Any advice on massage chairs? I mean legit full body experience, not the iJoy type junk. Really want one, but hard to pull the trigger online & don't know where to go to try them out.

Hi! Hoping for advice please. Does anyone have any recommendations on the best PMP course?

Hey everyone, I'm looking at a new knife as an Xmas gift to myself, looking to spend $200+ on a really great quality knife. My last one was a Global 10" chef's knife (G16) I gifted away, but now looking at a Global Sai 9 3/4" (Sai06), anyone got thoughts / opinions?

Any fun family-friendly Halloween events happening in the city this weekend?

Hello Fishes,

Recently received offer from Oracle Solution Services India Private Limited and base location mentioned is Bangalore. Just was curious to know whether we have to go to office physically for the joining or we can join virtually as I am not in Bangalore. Also is this offer different from Oracle or is it a branch within Oracle.

TIA

What can I expect in the oracle welcome kit?

Does oracle oci provide cab service?

Heads up to everyone in charge of these decisions: associates are desperate for you to allow us to WFH at least 1-2 days a week. Our managing partner said he’d be providing an update about getting back to the office soon and I wanted to jump off a bridge. Please do not force us to go back to the miserable existence of being in the office every single day. We are begging.

Question: do y’all really love this stuff and understand it? Or are you all on the “fake it til you make it” wave? I ask because I’m in a specialty group under the Corporate umbrella and many of the partners and some senior associates are extremely smart and clearly enjoy this stuff. Some even do “night time reading” to catch up on the recent laws. I, on the other hand, cannot wrap my head around it most of the time and would rather not waste energy doing it. Is it just me? What do i do? Quit?

Completely and totally miserable at my firm and just need a space to vent because my friends are tired of hearing about it. I wish the worst part about it was the amount of work, rather than the completely toxic culture, lack of appreciation, arbitrary and back/breaking deadlines, lack of mentorship/feedback/training, and the fact that the associates act like they don’t even know each other. I cry every day and constantly am made to feel stupid for not understanding the highly technical (cont.)

Is it possible to get a convenient location transfer in LTIMindtree? Or it can be decided only after the project allocation?

Macro tracking & body building experts - what should my macros & calorie count be if I want to lost 10-15 lbs? I'm 142 (due to stress and hormonal changes).
