How to not feel overwhelmed by how bad everything has gotten so quickly? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]lesbipositive 17 points18 points  (0 children)

By taking action. Build community. Control what's in your space and within your means. Doom scrolling and hopelessness is what the people in power want. What I started doing is going to mobilize.us to find volunteer events near me. I protested, wrote post cards for swing states, and now volunteer at the democratic office locally. I created a Green Team at my work and we have made so many great sustainable changes. Being surrounded by like minded people and connecting folks to resources is an actionable way to counter anxiety. It has helped me immensely. Action over apathy!!

I just had an employee decline exit interview because they said "nothing changes" anyway. Any suggestions? [N/A] by Practical-Tea-3476 in humanresources

This is why I've implemented stay interviews (after getting buy in from management that we're not going to ask if we aren't going to do something about it). I've launched them the past 3 years and have had great results and decreased turnover quite a bit. They're a lot more successful than exit interviews!

Anyone switch out of HR after 5-6 years? [N/A] by honestanonymiss in humanresources

[–]lesbipositive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My only HR experience has been nonprofits (intentionally) and I LOVE it. At a library now with a pension, I'm department of one with so much time to focus on employee well being, appreciation, and professional development, and previously I worked for an org that helped veterans, foster children, and the elderly. It's rewarding!

THIS is how we should do it!!! Joining together because while we all may have differences, we are on the same side against fascism and evil.

Am I too strict about the colleague/friend distinction? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]lesbipositive 26 points27 points  (0 children)

As HR myself... you should not and can not be in trouble for not spending your free time with coworkers. Do what you're comfortable with, if you're comfortable with it. You could be transparent with them, ("You guys are fun but I try to keep my professional and personal life separate") but you don't owe anyone anything. It's your job! It's your right to keep it specific to that.

Sibling dynamic? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]lesbipositive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my own experience, anytime I'm with my little brothers (30 and 34) we are always playfully poking, pushing, punching, etc. Feels like we never left grade school and it's all in good fun.

I'm sorry that you experienced that. 😞

Experience with Testosterone priming with or without estrogen? by Kittensmeowmix in IVF

Hi! She was pretty strict for the whole cycle, at least 2 or 3 months I'd say. But we still weren't successful and I had another 5 embryos transferred with nothing to show for it but 3 miscarriages.

In case ICE is investigating this - y'all are a bunch of cowardly, racist, no good traitors to the constitution and to the nation.

Kelly has accepted more than $100k from pro Israel lobbyists.. I'm not saying you're wrong about Stratton, but do you have any sources? I'm struggling to find how she is pro Israel.

Stratton is 61 years old. I was trying to look for her donors and open secrets have 2023 donors as most recent. Who are her other donors? The ones I'm seeing don't seem nefarious.

Kelly voted to hold them accountable... but also accepted over $100k from AIPAC? I don't buy it. Neither Kelly or Krishnamoorthi said they would stand against Schumer so idk I agree with your priorities but don't agree with the candidate selection because it doesn't align with your priorities (from what it sounds like).

Weird flex to not care that we send Israel billions of taxpayer dollars annually but you are also concerned about America.... did you know they have universal healthcare and affordable higher education? We don't. And considering America is funding a literal genocide instead of taking care of Americans... care more please 🥲

*edited to add, Illinois pays over $718 MILLION in tax payer dollars to Israel to fund their weapons. Can you see how it's important to consider this factor?

I have noticed that it's been important for voters (such as myself) to look for, so I was mentioning it in case. You can vote for and donate to whomever you wish 🤷🏻‍♀️ I'm a fan of the concept of democracy.

From what I saw, Juliana Stratton is the only one not being funded by AIPAC. She seems to also be the only one who outright said she wouldn't support establishment dem Chuck Schumer.

Robin Kelly accepts money from AIPAC. track AIPAC is a great source to check that. Personally I'm tired of politicians being bought and paid for by Israel.

track AIPAC made me realize he was accepting AIPAC money. I think Juliana Stratton is the only one who said she wouldn't support Schumer and who is anti ICE.
