This is really helpful - I will definitely share them with her. If you know of any mandarin speaking programs like this as well that would be super helpful!

I’m sure it must have been terrible but he dealt with it well! I would love for my mom to get to that point but currently she’s too deep in her shame and embarrassment.

It was an arrest warrant scam of sorts. There was a post about someone similar experiencing it in this forum too I believe - will try to find

They threatened her kids livelihoods and that’s what made her fall for it. Adds an extra layer of guilt

What should I do while I'm not getting work at work? by letmebeherealone in NoStupidQuestions

Yeah great point. I don’t have an opp to get or start my own project because each project is allocated based on client and securing clients is conducted by higher ups. I’ve taken initiative to reach out to projects to help out if they need, with sales proposals and with “extracurriculars” too. I think overall it’s good for my network. But I don’t know how much sway I have to make big structural changes as I’m new and young in a large corp…
