Counter Offering a Promotion Salary
Hi everyone, looking for some help here. I was offered a position, which is a 10% increase from my current salary. However, I want to counter offer with a much higher salary (20%), but I am not sure how to go about doing it. My current salary is already about 10 grand below what someone in my position with same skills, education, and experience makes in my location.
Any advice on how I should go about it?

My Officemate Keeps Complaining About Our Boss
Has anyone else experienced this? My officemate constantly complains about our boss and their management style. It’s starting to affect the team’s morale.
I understand everyone has their opinions, but I’d love to hear how others handle similar situations. Any advice?

What to do? My boss shared personal medical information about me to a coworker.
I shared the information because I needed to adjust my schedule and had to explain why. Hr was also told why as they work hand-in-hand and everything HR runs through my boss.
Now my coworker who told me this was sick to her stomach for a week and was acting strange when she saw me. She finely came clean and told me she needed me to know that she was told this very personal thing and wasn't comfortable knowing it. So my question is- what would you do? I feel my boss should be written up for this, but I am wondering how to go about it

Does Fairygodboss/Muse need help?
We can all see that your platform continues to be hit by fake accounts posting spam content. This is a common tactic used by bad actors in online communities, and there are a few non-technical steps you (Fairygodboss/Muse) can take to get things under control—so members can keep using and contributing to the platform.
If you need help, let me know. I’ve had a lot of experience dealing with this kind of thing in early-stage startup communities.
I still check Fairygodboss daily to see if the issue has been resolved because I really enjoy contributing here and supporting others—but honestly, my patience is starting to wear thin.
