Any book recommendations on handling office politics?

I have been tagged for this project that doesn’t start until June 10th. My utilization is going to drop significantly but at the same time the deployment team cannot present me elsewhere. Ugh!

Why do some people get laid off and others not? Is it always utilization? Do people typically know they're at risk before it gets to that point?

My manager knows nothing. Everytime before meeting with the partners he would come to me for ideas, and then present those later as in 'we thought about xxx'. 🙄🙄🙄

Hi all! Has anyone done a pre-MBA externship after getting GSAP and was up for promo at the same time? Curious if I would need to wait until my promotion is effective before leaving early. I reached out internally as well to check but figured I would ask this group as well

Single 24 year old here. Recently joined Hinge. I am barely getting any activity. I'm a former OKCupid user and I always got something there. Do people not use Hinge or is there something wrong with me? I'm a fit average height guy and I am not ugly. Looking for LTR especially now in the time of Corona. Didn't bother with human interaction before tbh but this loneliness is creeping up. 😔

Hi Fishes,
My total experience is 5 in QA, I attended Deloitte interview. First round was technical and it went quite well, they asked lot of theory questions. I answered few and quite I was not sure of answers. She gave feedback like my communication and confidence level is good and project wise I'm having good knowledge and coming to concept wise it's not upto the mark for experience. So my query is will they call me for next round?I really wanna get selected since Deloitte is mydream company

When you walk in Friday morning to a dumpster fire of a file (that you’ve never worked on before) sitting on your desk, with no note or email to go with it. It’s as if I’m supposed to magically divine what to do with it. 🤦🏼‍♀️

My wife of seven years and I went to a talk on Marriage in Islam recently. It was given by Imam Alaa ElSayed. I generally have a low tolerence for mullah/moulvi types, but this man was the real deal.
