It looks like brown spots on her leaves. This happens when there’s not enough airflow between the leaves and moisture gets trapped so bacteria start to spread. If this is the case, quarantine the plant and treat it with fungicide. But I’d double check the symptoms beforehand to make sure it’s the right diagnosis. Good luck! 🍀

Ok thank you

If you just got it I would start with contacting the store you got it from discussing a refund / new plant. If that’s impossible: repot it, remove all damage leaves, make sure it has enough light and keep making sure the soil dries up properly between waterings. But I highly recommend talking to the store first 😊

Got from my job 🥴 so no refund but I’ll let it dry out first it’s in my window right now…clipping the leaves and the stem?
