Would you accept a job offer that comes with the stipulation to come into the office once a week or monthly during COVID to “build team culture and meet you?” They promise everyone is masked but two people I interviewed with today over zoom at this company were sitting together in a room about two feet apart without masks on.

Please help me here. My partner (female) speaks in a baby voice when presenting via zoom, it’s nothing like her normal speaking voice. It sounds like she’s laying down in bed. The tone stays the exact same the entire time and it’s hard to focus on what she’s saying. Is there anything I (a male) can say?

I own and rent out my 1BR in Harlem. The upstairs neighbors are a couple with two toddlers who are banging constantly. My tenant wfh as a professor and therapist for people in crises. She has developed migraines and the noise is so loud she is being asked to leave work zoom calls. The upstairs couple is sweet and apologetic, but the noise is ABSURD, the running around never stops. I’ve tried all the common sense, nice ways to remedy. Doesn’t my tenant have the right to quiet enjoyment? Ideas!?

I’m having some issues w/ my director. My organization has given us 10 ETO days to use for Covid related issues. We’ve been going back&forth on this, the language is ambiguous&he thinks I’m asking to use this inappropriately. We had a meeting yesterday to discuss this because he brought this up to legal&recorded it without my prior approval - I showed up to the webex&it announced the meeting was being recorded). I’ve asked for the recording and still haven’t received it- what would you do next?

My senior rarely answers my initial emails/Skype messages/etc. Little background: He’s on another client so I know he’s likely busy but it makes it somewhat difficult to get things done. Any tips on how to manage this? It’s getting to the point where I feel like a pest/uncomfortable following up on unanswered messages. I’ve been compiling questions, utilizing other team members, communicating with managers, but there are some things that just need to go through him because he’s the senior.

A tech firm reached out, and I had a 30-min call with a CD. Went well and I agreed to more interviews. Turns out the next round is a “4-hour panel WebEx interview”. Their creative dept isn’t well established, so is it wrong for me to politely say “4 hours is a big investment, can we briefly chat about salary range, title, etc”? I kinda don’t want to go down this road for a lateral title and who-knows-what salary. If it was a better-known in-house shop, I’d go with the flow.
