My husband want to get into PM work in construction (Ideally WFH). Currently he’s doing lighting protection but has been very ambitious and deals a lot with multiple contractors on sites. He should be taking his Journeyman certification test early next year. Any advice for how he can make the shift into the PM world? He’s working to get his CAPM early March 2023 and should have his associates in business be the end of 2023. And advice is appreciated :)

Hello everyone, first post ever and I have a question for you. I left my previous job for a startup. I really enjoy what I do, but the lack of international perspective makes me want to look for something else as my goal has always been to work in many different countries.

It’s been almost a year and I am wondering if leaving a company after a year would eventually be perceived as a deal breaker for recruiters. I know it will mostly depends on my ability to sell myself.

What do you think?

How does your firm deal with underperforming associates? We are crazy busy but have a couple first-years on vacation, 50-100 hours per month, and thinking we are a "lifestyle" firm. I don't want to just fire them, at least not yet, but I want to see a change. How many second chances do you give? How many months under budget?

I need your help, y'all!

A female coworker has become super passive aggressive. I don't work with her often, she's in a different business unit, but we have to collaborate sometimes.

I can deal with her personally, kill them with kindness. However, she texted my direct report something aggressive, untrue, and frankly super unprofessional about me. He didn't feel comfortable sending me a screenshot, but he read it to me. He doesn't want it to come out that he told me.
What would you do?
