Yes, I will share mine and this is a long one. And mind you, this is a form of work place bullying. I recently joined my organization as the only member out of India for an all American team. It's a niche skill so even within India, people with the same skillset are less. Now, I was told that enough KT will be provided to me and there are good projects in the pipeline.
But I am literally sitting without much work and almost zero interactions with the team. I try to set up calls, have written multiple emails and have told my US manager a couple of times about assigning me work but it's all futile. My teammates keep postponing my calls almost always...
I ain't a super workoholic person but I still like to keep busy and keep learning :( did a few certifications but without work, it doesn't matter.

That feeling when you are left out all by your own and the sense of feeling like an alien is the worst.

PMs, do you think consulting interviews are very easy?

So, I just joined a startup. No processes, no clear strategy, just one goal: selling. Getting leads. When ever I try to build a strategy, they (founders) swamp me with blablabla stories and not a single action plan. Is this the usual at startups? Also,no real company culture. At all. No HR. I am reaaaally struggling to get a sense of belonging here. What should I expect?? Tia

Has anyone else talked to a doctor about stress while trying to conceive? I’ve been having a really hard time wanting a baby for the way my husband and I have been arguing or talking to each other.

Do you think our anxiety or tension is because we have not been able to conceive?
