After a year at the same company, I've been exceeding quotas and numbers. I was eyeing a promotion, and even received my manager's full endorsement for it. Fast forward to yesterday, and the role was given to a newer hire with barely any experience and a poor reputation. How in the world do I even begin to deal with this unfairness?

That is a tough one. Even after having your managers' full endorsement. Companies tend to work in mysterious ways, and making decisions that retain people is not high on the priority list.

Wow. It makes me wonder who the new hire is related to, honestly.

Wow. I am so sorry to hear that. I would see that as a big red flag. I would also probably start looking for something else as well. I wouldn't want to stay somewhere that passes me over for a promotion.

OP, how’s it going?

Hi fishes,

I found different user login related bugs in a website that hamper the user experience.

What is the correct procedure to report those bugs?

Also, can there be any potential scope to get bug bounty for the same?

How to approach this?

I'm planning to send an email with the details of the bugs to the customer care and feedback email of that website.

Thanks a lot.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out.

Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

Anyone have any friends who successfully pivoted out of advertising?

So they continue freelancing in order to make a living, while not gaining much traction elsewhere.

I had very positive feedback on my interviews for a S&O role but the team hired someone internally. If I interview again for a differenr role, would I have to do all the interviews again or can I use some of the scores from previous interviews. I understand doing RRK again makes sense but what about GCA, googlyness or leadership . Thank you
