Hello! I have a two part question: 1) is it worth it to obtain an SHRM specialty credential if I don’t have the broader SHRM certification? 2) has anyone gotten the People Analytics or Talent Acquistion credential? If so, how valuable was it from a learning perspective? Do you feel it significantly contributed to your knowledge in either area? Thank you!

How do we get others to join Fishbowl? There are currently only 15 of us from the company and we have about 2000 employees now.

Pretty over agency life, best brands to go client-side?

DietMadisonAvenue: Anyone know how the lawsuits are going? All information I can find is pretty dated.

What brands do you think are doing cool work in the digital/tech innovation space?

Wondering what people think about my situation. I’ve been offered a role with a company. The job description didn’t mention college degree as a requirement. On my CV I have a section listed as “Education” and under it I have “Business Studies” with the university name and the 3 years that I attended the course (2.5 to be exact). It’s a 4 year degree and under this I have my High School equivalent with the years I attended there. The education wasn’t mentioned in the interviews. Continued below.

How can I get my *micro* manager off my back? I know I haven’t been doing the best work this quarter, but emailing me all damn day isn’t going to help me do better, I do know that.

Is it really that hard for managers to book their own conference rooms and send out invites? The time it takes to ask one to do it could it not have just been done by themselves?

Thank you all for existing on Fishbowl and for being such a supportive community. It’s been a difficult year, but at the end of the day, I’m glad to have people to commiserate/celebrate with ❤️🙂❤️

Hi all I have started a new post as a sales manager for a Fibre optics company, I feel I have been thrown in the deep end and asked to swim, it's a small company and want me to head up the sales team for corporate companies, also asked me to put together a marketing strategy

I am going to move in the next few month to a location with a higher cost of living due to personal circumstances. I love my current company but I’ve only been here a little over a month, how should I go about requesting if it’s possible to get a salary increase? Might be a stretch but thought it might be worth mentioning.

How do you find joy in a business where you’re told “no” 100 times a day?

Today I was thinking about different sales experiences I’ve had–both as the buyer & the salesman. What was the best and/or worst sales experience you’ve ever had as a customer?

Started a new job 7 months ago. There’s been a hiring freeze and it seems they canned the recruitment team. Things seems to be slowing down drastically in the span of a week. Getting the resume all spiffed up and getting interviews together. When do you make the exit? “When you find a job” I know, but…

Also, would me making my exit to another role that I might leave in a 8 months bite me in the ass down the line? Do I just grab anything in the interim?

Really struggling with attrition right now and we seem to be a cycle of countering people, trying to keep governance but being reactive! Any ideas on a reward strategy which enables us to be flexible when we need it but retain a degree of control so it doesn’t get out of control?

Aside from LinkedIn, what are other sources to identify decision makers in large companies?

Can you sell your used shrm cp books from the learning system? If so where?

Why is it so hard to move out of federal consulting and into the private sector?

Anyone maintain real estate license on the side? If yes, which broker is a good one to associate with of the ones with all these crazy commission models?

Holidays can be tough for our community - I hope everyone is able to find some moments of self-care and happiness today!

Hello
Can I pl get help in SQL
Thank you

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer. Previously interned there & left because my supervisor did not have any growth opportunities planned out for me; this was in spite of my stellar performance, as reflected in my 90 day review. She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?

Hey guys..

I had applied for one position in Amazon.
I saw an launch assessment button in mi application. Would like to know if someone could share some information on how these assessments would be..

Can anyone refer me for Accenture strategy management consultant role ?

Let's talk unhinged pro se opposing parties. We have one that emails the entire firm every few days with these SCREEDS that are like weird stream of consciousness accusations of baseless criminal and unethical conduct. So far there have been 2 emails already today. A GAL has been appointed and ordered to do a psych eval on this party, but is there any sense in responding in the mean time? Everything we say seems to get twisted.

Can I get 11 likes to get my DM started.
Thanks

The Albertsons (Jewel) and Kroger (Mariano’s) merger would be terrible for Chicago. I doubt antitrust will allow them to retain all stores here. Maybe a player trying to enter the region will buy out those stores.

Is Barclay's a good bank for to work for? I want to know the good, the bad, and the ugly!

Thinking about a trip to Thailand for my anniversary. Any thoughts on how to organize it? Prob late April timeframe for a week or so

Now that I got promoted to manager, I’m kind of missing the camaraderie that came along with being out on the floor with everyone else. Is that normal?

Would love some recommendations on training platforms that you love, for a 75ish employee business. We need a platform to house our current training docs, create new content in, monitor completion % by employee and something that's easy to add new team members to and assign content by role. Thank you in advance!

Have you found using a standing desk increase your productivity? How else do you increase your productivity? I am so distracted all the time
