Friends of 20 years
So I’ve known these two women since I was in 3rd grade we have over 20 years of friendship. One does her best to keep in touch and the other one checks in with my other friend to get dibs on how I’m doing instead of reaching out herself. I moved 2 years ago to a different state and they completely changed stopped stopped calling and texting but I’ve noticed they both watch all of my social media stories frequently it’s kind of comical. One friend finally reached out to congratulate me on the move the other just laid low. I found out I was pregnant and shared the news with both and they both were elated and said they would come out to to visit, one made it the other wrote me a day prior saying “Oh I have a brides makeup to do I can’t make it” (yea sure). Fast forward my other friend makes it into town and I’m bombarded with questions what do you drive, where do you work, what does your boyfriend do for a living, are you all renting or do you own. I couldn’t enjoy myself because I felt like she was a informant Yikes!
My mom tells me that my friendship with the two lady’s is fading and being held on by my chin hairs. Neither one of my friends have kids and my life is more family, and career focused. I wonder why we are even friends sometimes.
Does a true 20 year friendship really fade?

Must be that time again to talk about GHOSTING by recruiters
In the past month, I had 3 recruiters reach out to me and we had excellent conversations. They were so excited about my experience, they even responded to my thank you emails. Now-crickets. These are recruiters on staff with the organizations they represent. Anyone care to offer insight into this behavior?

A dream role position has landed on my plate while I’m not feeling my very best due to a health issue .
I’m okay 65-70% percent of time but lately it’s been flaring . I don’t want to lose the opportunity and feel I should at least try and do my best . im praying to god , to help me land this job only if its meant to be as im afraid my health “might “ affect my performance . I’m currently still going through the interview process . Would like some feedback from some mid -senior level professionals . Has anyone been in this situation before ?

Opinion on secondment
I've been in my company for 9 months .
The perfect secondment opportunity came up .
My manager said to meet the secondment manager.
However, my meeting didn't go well.
I asked all the relevant questions but the secondment manager was very negative in her responses and I felt bad vibes.
The role was perfect and exactly what Ive been dreaming of .
But every question I'd ask she would be negative and say x person is tough x team will write bad reviews.
I didn't know if this was to check how i'd behave so I just twisted it positively and say how I'd adapt and help her with these challenges.
I rejected the opportunity but don't know if it's the right decision.
How do you determine if the secondment is right for you

How long should you stay in a position or company? Do you think there is a standard time?
Curious to know others thoughts on this topic. I've been hearing 2-5 years. I think there are multiple factors that determines the time such as security, money, toxic space, they love the role or company, it's not your career goal, they're bored etc
