Summary

After six hard years as your mom's Alzheimer's caregiver, your dad remarried an old flame one week after moving her to hospice. Welcome to Feedback Friday!

On This Week's Feedback Friday:

  • Your stepmom — the woman who raised you for 44 years — was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and recently moved into a care facility. One week later, your dad announced he's remarried an old flame and is planning a honeymoon. How do you set boundaries without losing him entirely?
  • After years of battling depression and disordered eating, you finally found stability — a great remote job, supportive friends, even a boyfriend. But four months in, he shows more affection to your dogs than to you. Is he avoidant, not adept at communicating his feelings, or just not that into you?
  • You're an Emmy-nominated video journalist managing severe endometriosis and recovering from e.coli. You documented your six-hour work restriction — but when your company's "Super Bowl" event arrived, your team bailed and the CEO criticized your performance. Do you have legal standing here? [Thanks to HR professional Joanna Tate for helping us with this one!]
  • Recommendation of the Week: Custom Stationery
  • A software engineer and hiring manager has a hot take for job seekers who've applied to 600 positions with no luck: Mashing "Quick Apply" on LinkedIn might actually be hurting you more than helping. What's the real strategy for landing a high-paying role in this market?
  • Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us? Drop us a line at friday@jordanharbinger.com!
  • Connect with Jordan on Twitter at @JordanHarbinger and Instagram at @jordanharbinger.
  • Connect with Gabriel on Twitter at @GabeMizrahi and Instagram @gabrielmizrahi.
