You're completely right and I agree. If you're not going to advocate for yourself, why should anybody else? This is something I'm trying to teach my teenage children. You have to be your biggest fan and your biggest advocate because people believe in those who believe in themselves.

Agreed, those are both incredibly important in work and in life. Did you have something happen recently where you ended up having to advocate for yourself?

Years ago I had a wise old corporate warrior tell me "sometimes all you need is confidence." It was one of those comments that just stuck in my head. There have been times when it has come to mind when I had to dig in and advocate for myself.

It’s a significant amount (well to us) and the client is now starting to open up and telling everyone about the situation that we helped to resolve.

Hi! I recently applied to TCS and ended up appearing twice for Java technical interview (TCS RIG & TCS IoT DE) and cleared both. Now I need to fill up details on iBegin before HR discussion. Am I going to lose my job opportunity?

For RIG I applied through recruiter. For IoT DE I was contacted by an HR saying that it's no problem appearing for another interview unless i hear feedback from 1st one.

Please help guys!

I really want to get a second job but I am scared of losing my current one. Both companies are in same field, although not direct competitors so I know it’s technically “not allowed” however, this is the only way for me to get that $$ since I am not paid all that well.

Of course I won’t tell a single friend/coworker. Only my partner. And I don’t post work stuff on social media.

Realistically what are the ODDS of being caught? Is there a legal/HR process with which they could find out??

How do you cope when your employer rapidly descends into chaos from the top down? Today is my 2yr anniversary with this company. In the past 6mos, they have repeatedly changed directions / goals, pushing out several supportive and productive managers in favor of a single chauvinist overlord who makes HR violations daily and does no actual work. HR denies every complaint made against him and he retaliates to the point of firing people. Very hostile. How do I survive until I find my next gig?

Anyone wants to share how much it sucks to be on those state unemployment claims projects? You have to hear those jobless people complain all day everyday and they would yell at you if they are not happy with your response. The EY HR person would threaten to fire you if you ask to be off from it. I wonder if this is in violation of labor law.

My wife works at a school with kids with behavioral issues. The kids are abusive to the teachers/paras and have hit, kicked, pulled hair, as well as have grabbed the privates of teachers/paras. Nothing is ever done about it by higher up. Recently, the principal got kicked in the leg, and it turns out that the superintendent is “pressing charges” against the kid, but won’t do anything for the teachers/paras. What actions can my wife and the teachers take if the superintendent won't do anything?
