Should You Accept A Counter Offer?
Having set your course on moving on, suddenly a new proposition is on the table. What do you do? Having accepted a new position at a different firm, you’ll need to sit down with your current supervisor and break the news that you are leaving. Often you will be greeted with congratulations and well wishes, or maybe you will face resentment and anger from a toxic boss. But there is a third, less common possibility: your superiors might offer you a counter offer.

Break the Poverty Curse Cycle
Are you comfortable with your current circumstances? I asked this of one individual who I shall not name, as the smell of urine and smoke filled my lungs. The individual did not respond. I suppose they had a hard time responding with four kids and police sirens screaming in their ears. Personally, I do not judge individuals for how they live. I have no right to judge anyone because I do not know the adversities that have hindered them from achieving better circumstances. Besides, it’s not like I’m in a better situation myself. But, what I will do is ask you a couple of questions to make you think about the choices you have made and how you have chosen to co-exist with those choices. If it’s one thing I hate, it is to see someone judging someone else. Especially my people. My black people. You see, my people love to judge each other. Whether it’s the shoes on their feet, the hair, or the person they choose to be intimate with. It’s all a competition to my people. A competition that was started by our oppressor. Instead of judging someone, why don’t you try to help them. Show them how certain patterns can lead to certain outcomes. With this method of communication, I only can hope to give them the tools they need to overcome their adversities.

Default and Working Modes
Breaks are often considered unproductive time by employers and teachers alike. According to a number of published studies, taking some downtime after a study session or a work project has a positive effect on efficiency. The brain is never entirely inactive, and what it does at rest is just as important as the studies or work being done.

Social Workin' Wonder Woman
Have you seen her in action yet? The new Wonder Woman film is a thrill for so many reasons, especially to social scientists like myself. We study the things people do, say, and feel so that we can get a handle on how fast society is approaching "hell in a handbasket" status. Watching Wonder Woman was most amazing because of her innate, undeniable, burning sense of empathy for the less fortunate. Social workers rejoice-- Wonder Woman just made your case for why helping professionals need help: salary increases, self-care assistance, and professional autonomy. Now.
