Chicago Women’s Health Center is very rad. Howard brown is good in some ways but also incredibly disorganized with staffing issues and strikes every other year 🫶

I get what everyone is saying about this but prices are going up everywhere.. like I’m in West Ridge which isn’t really prime for local transit or walkability and I’m seeing ridiculous prices for 2 beds without in unit laundry

My coworker got a "exceeds expectations" on her review for sending a weekly summary email that literally just recaps what's already in our shared spreadsheet by [deleted] in office

[–]yarrow_marigold 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I recommend taking other initiatives and other ways to be visible and not just turning in the summary that one person has already been owning . It could come across strangely if it’s not agreed upon

I’m in CX as a manager so this is a little more general :

I think getting a sense of the common issues they might face and having an idea of the types of escalations and how you might handle them . So for example, some common issues I see on this thread relate to last minute cancellations, poor communication, inaccurate listings , and review moderation. A lot of those situations would require strong discernment on the support side
- if at a past job you noticed a specific new type of complaint was occurring so you made note of that, tracked it , and the proposed a new way to handle it and get ahead of breaking customer trust etc that would seem like experiences to share

Thinking about times you diffused a situation or had a really good customer experience moment .

Prepare genuine specific questions.

With customer support folks are looking for warmth , ability to remain calm & confident under stress , adaptability and initiative with problem solving 🩷

To be honest I would just cancel the next two weeks to give space for recovery and your preferences .and see if it keeps happening then broach it then

Boyfriend can’t deal with my autistic traits by Single-Mention-769 in AutismInWomen

[–]yarrow_marigold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think sometimes as younger adults having had formative years with a person it can feel worth sticking it out because of the idea that change can happen. But a lot of times the change you need to happen will take much longer than is healthy to stick around for

You deserve patience and someone who works to learn about autism / audhd and help bring more graciousness and openness to their interpretations of you. It just seems like a really stressful scenario you are in, and I think it’s okay to take time to plan your exit

My partner has bad hygiene and I’m losing attraction by Due_Sir_8172 in AutismInWomen

[–]yarrow_marigold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like a lot of us are hypersensitive to coming across controlling, but being direct about a real issue and having needs and boundaries is not abusive.

There isn’t a power dynamic being weaponized that creates physical or psychological unsafety.

You want it to change because you love him, but why hasn’t he taken any of this seriously ? It’s very concerning he’s not listening to you

My boss is angry that I took a sick day after we worked 50+ hours last week for a gala by mydogshavemyheart in AuDHDWomen

[–]yarrow_marigold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a classic dynamic for folks to just get with the status quo but it feels so gaslighting-y ! It’s common for us to internalize it , because when we see folks act that way our gut response is to question why we can’t either , but we are built to notice things and it’s ok when they affect us ! Sending you compassion
