Any Asian who feel less valued while working in the US when none are from your community? Its a helpless situation when these partners hire you from a short term perspective.

So my peer acts like he is my boss, asking me repeatedly about timelines and giving me tasks, what’s the most professional way to tell him to shove it?

My SO is a contractor and takes multi-month breaks in between projects. I’ve noticed for years that their personality changes (for the worse) when working, but WFH has made life especially toxic. I’ve tried broaching the subject from multiple angles but always leads to what appears to be blinding anger where they say very harsh /hurtful things. Any advice on how to handle?

Hi. What do you do with a gaslighting boss and coworker in a small office? I also don’t feel like my boss even cares about me. Examples- there was a man with a gun in parking lot that I had to flee from and call police, he didn’t care- just asked me when I was coming back to work.😳 zero compassion. didn’t care I had a blinking light above my desk, waited two months to fix it though my eye was twitching! Makes me feel like a burden for taking care of my health, etc. and gaslights me regularly!

Opposing Counsel refuses to acknowledge me in any emails, doesn’t answer my phone calls, and does not include my name on the signature line on any documents even though I am the handling attorney on this file. He only includes my supervising attorney and only responds to her. It’s so frustrating. Why are ppl like this?? What can I do? Should I continue to be annoying and email/call him?

I might get a panic attack on my new project thanks to my colleague. He takes notes meticulously and expects me to add more to his notes after every meeting. Who are these people 😮‍💨😭

Is it wrong to say "thank you" when you're given an assignment? If so, how do you end your response? Just "will do." or similar?

Whenever customers call the front desk, it seems like the receptionist always forwards them to my number even though I have reminded him there are several other people who are also supposed to answer the phones. It's really cutting into the time I can dedicate to other work. Is there anything I can do other than talking to our boss about it directly? I don't want to get the receptionist in trouble.

I started at a new company a few weeks ago. The team has been so poorly managed and C suite hasn't been the best at managing them - I'm their first CD ever so I can see where they're coming from and what their concerns are.

One has just resigned, and another has told me and is thinking about looking. Red flag / sign for me to look too, or should I look past it and think about rebuilding things from the ground up. This is the first time I've come across this, so not sure how to approach things.

Managers, what do you do to keep stressful projects from hurting your work/life balance?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working with management on a promotional offer. I've never negotiated before, and always accepted the first offer
My question is, I have identified a certain range that I feel better aligns with with current expectations, along with the addition of more responsibilities and expectations. When communicating that, should I I provide my highest expectation and negotiate from there?

My concern is, if I provide a range, they might just go with the lowest of the range.

how's everyone doing for 10/15?

I’m a tax senior 1 (will be a senior 2 in October) and just got an offer with a 26% raise at a large public company on their provision team. There’s also an aspect of FP&A and helping with transactions so not strictly tax. All seems super interesting and the team seems great. I really like my EY team and my counselor has talked to me about an early manager promo next year but have never intended to be a PA lifer. Any reason I shouldn’t take it?
