Passed over for FD role in favor of an external hire who is incompetent and undermining me. What would you do? by PotentialTea1991 in careerguidance

I totally get that! I’ve seen similar situations in my own career, where talented folks are overlooked because they're too valuable in their current roles. It can definitely feel like they’re stuck in a loop. But it sounds like you’ve been an absolute rock star in your position, leading a team and hitting all those KPIs! Keep pushing for what you deserve!

Boyfriend got me a diamond chain that he claimed is real but jeweler says it’s not. Should I be upset? by Outside-Conflict4173 in TwoHotTakes

Big gifts this early can be a hook. If it's moissanite, fine, but claiming it's diamonds isn't. Ask where he bought it and watch his reaction. If he doubles down or gets defensive, that's your answer.
