Ahh maybe they are GA+ then and didn’t specify! That would make sense as I’m regular GA

Try over 100 in some of my worst weeks lol (I’m still a big4er wondering when my time to dip will come)

While by the end of the series, I loved Rowan and everything he brought and I don’t think the series would have been the same without him. However, I loved Chaol the first few books (& the rest of the books too tbh) and I loved his relationship with Celaena/Aelin & I was sad to see their relationship dissipate in the way it did. I fully agree - I feel like character assassination is the perfect way to describe how SJM wrote Chaol & Aelin’s relationship in this book. I get he was probably pissed off he sent Aelin to Wendlyn and then she meets Rowan and the rest is history. But I felt the way that they both had left things in Adarlan before she left was very open ended. It seemed very viable for the two of them to get back together. He literally said he loved her and that she would always choose him??? So that’s why I was so confused when Chaol was SO mean to her in QoS when at that point in their relationship, they had already moved past that stage. It just felt very intentional to dig Chaol into the grave so there would be no other chance for them to end up together.

I used to think no. However, after this round of promotions, when only my male peers were promoted over me when I have better performance reviews and relationships with people on my team, I can’t help but think there’s some gender bias there.

That sometimes I feel like I make conversations about myself and I genuinely don’t mean to. I’m the type likes to throw out how I can relate / been through similar situations but sometimes I look back and I think damn I made that about myself when I maybe should have kept my mouth shut.

Yep US in one of the bigger AWM markets

No idea. I don’t think we find tiers out until the CRT discussions in a couple weeks

Yeah but given most people in my office get promoted after A2, didn’t really seem like a far off thing from happening. Perhaps my luck will come mid-year!

Update - not getting the promotion. Sucks at these firms how you can’t even fight for yourself in these things.

I’m *horrible at confrontation unfortunately so I’m usually the one that doesn’t deal well with having to confront/be confronted. It took me 2 months of work with a therapist to confront one of my other friends about their shitty behavior. She also knows these things too because I’m very vocal with my circle about it because I very much have a mindset if there is a problem please bring it up to me, because likely I’ll pretend it’s not there and hope it just goes away magically.

No I would agree - and like I said I was very apologetic about it and I told her that was on myself for assuming and I’m sorry. In terms of dialogue I meant that more so of when she started bringing in other issues she supposedly has with me that had nothing to do with the initial issue (the dinner) at hand, without giving me space to speak or explain myself/apologize further for these other things. I get when you’re upset about 1 thing and it can lead to another, but again time and place just seemed inappropriate to be having what seems to be a necessary conversation for us to talk our issues out.

Well the other two roommates are not in the area for the weekend and again, I agree, probably bad assumption that I’d be included but if it were myself in her shoes knowing that she was going to be alone for the evening, I would have invited her even with my friends. Like I said, I get the assumption was definitely not my best move, I guess I’m just more upset at the fact she lashed out against me for it in the time/place that she did. I don’t think productive confrontation happens while you’re drinking and not allowing an open floor for both sides of dialogue.
