I am in the process of finishing up my MBA but considering also getting my SPHR or PHR cert. Is it even worth it or a waste of time and money?

Hello, I’ve been in HR for 9 months with no previous experience. I did really well in managing my daily tasks for the first 5 months but things have fallen behind as I’ve been tasked with owning FMLA and I just can’t seem to keep up with anything. My supervisor is now investigating everything I do and hinting at giving me a write up or worse. I have ADD and anxiety but I’ve been too embarrassed to say anything because not all companies embrace neuro diversity. WWYD?

Looking to resign tomorrow. My direct manager has been out sick but the head of my team is in. He hired me initially before we hired my current direct manager. Does it matter who I resign to? I don’t want to disrespect anyone but also I am trying to resign before they lay me off and tomorrow the head of our team placed an early morning mtg. Smells like a lay off…

Hi everyone,
So I’ve always had a rough time trying to find what role titles I would be a good fit to apply to given that my career growth has been so peculiar (HR assistant at hotel, Operations Manager at hotel, seller support at Amazon, customer experience coordinator at an IT company, talent acquisition specialist at a health org)
In those roles I normally took more in my plate than the typical role requires (hr functions, data analysis, etc)
With 6-7 years if exp what role should I look?

Advice: 1st year associate at a midsized firm but small office (2 other attorneys). All of my work comes from them, but usually it’s not enough. I’ve grown tired of asking for work 3-4 times a week. They love my work and have told other people in the firm they wouldn’t be able to do what they’re doing without me. However, there’s days like today where I have NOTHING to do. Last time I asked for work it took older atty 30 mins to find a file... I have no billable min, I love my bosses conti

A financial services client is asking me to be out sourced CCO for them. It’s not something I can’t do I just don’t hold them as honest people and in high regard. I worry about my liability of them messing stuff up. How do I stay as their counsel but decline the CCO liability.

I’ve been working really hard to save and finally have about 40k to invest. Didn’t grow up with a lot of money so I’m very risk averse and was thinking of investing it all in VTSAX. Curious to hear what you all would invest in and how you became more comfortable with taking investment risks?

(Late 20’s if that matters)

Recent transfer to a smaller office and have not been paying attention to my work attire as much as I did before because I don’t see many people around the office. I maybe see 3-4 people in the hallways. But people treat me differently when I bother to dress up a bit and I struggle to consistently do that and I just prefer to be comfortable. The extra time and effort also feel exhausting. Do I need to care more about appearance? How do you manage to look “professional” on a daily basis?

Which company that you have worked at had great leadership? Not just very smart individual leaders, but a cohesive group of people driving the company? Feeling like a ton of companies (even famous unicorns) don’t have great leaders unfortunately…

Looking to buy my first pair of Gucci horsebit loafers. Know I want brown but can’t decide between the Jordaan leather, 1953, and the ones simply called “horsebit loafers” on the website.

The 1953 is classic but it appears to be a darker shade of brown when my preference is more of a walnut, but I’m open to them. Worried that the other options are less timeless / too feminine. Any pointers?
