Anyone ever struggle with being "likable" at work? I've never had this problem before, but I don't seem to vibe with my team.

yeah I got some real weirdo characters on my team. I just make sure the majority like me, can't win over everyone

Just be true to yourself. If they don’t like you still it isn’t a good fit. Main issue is if your boss and management like you.

How do you set boundaries if you’re salaried with no OT?! I told my boss that I’d only be online from 8-6p and he finds that he isn’t getting enough support. I lowkey feel like telling him he needs two EAs but I guess you can tell how cheap he is because no OT. Any advice? (Ps, I’m aggressively job hunting because this ain’t it)

Put my 2 weeks in Monday 🥳 but I feel like my team is wanting me to complete a lot of stuff before I leave?? like new items on top of wrapping up/transitioning… tbh I wouldn’t care but I really like my coworker that they’re unfortunately going to pile a lot of my stuff onto when I leave - how do you balance helping but also being so unmotivated knowing you’re leaving? I want to end on a good note and not screw people over but also think it’s a literally ridiculous what they’re asking me to do

Had only one call with my TL in first two months. Few weeks later, on workday I noticed that my TL got reassigned. Contacted him and have setup regular catch-ups. He dropped a bomb that he is leaving and I will be reporting to partner. Partner is time poor and no feedback is offered. This is my first consulting role and I feel I am not receiving enough support. Few people are helping to learn the ropes but WFH has exacerbating the problem. How do I get a TL to receive pointed feedback? PwC

At my last workplace, I had to follow up with an HR person six times to get something. Is it rude when I went up to her in person to check in again she literally told me “just go be busy and come back later.” 😡 she also was mad when I took my time for my ID photo (it’s just a picture), because I wanted to look good, but then had to go back and re-do my coworkers because his eyes were closed and he rushed his in comparison? Idk just venting🤭

Hi all, How do you deal with having a good relationship with an ex-colleague, and then that person switches jobs, becomes a hiring manager, is hiring for a position you’re perfect for (experience + credentials) and then you reach out to them saying you’re interested and why it would be a good idea - and then they completely ghost you..I also sent an application via the website and got rejected. I am really always trying to help out old coworkwrs with getting jobs, but this is just frustrating 🥲

My manager had been saying some REALLY over the line stuff in standup meetings. Truly inappropriate details about his sexuality and also some stuff about my religion etc. We (the software developers) told HR. They spoke to him and he stopped being a weirdo but the company never addressed it further with us. Is that normal? I’ve never been a part of an HR investigation before and I don’t know what to expect

At what point should I be worried about my ability or inability as a lawyer? I’m a first year, but feel as though my office has very high expectations from top to bottom. Often placed on cases alone with a partner who is too busy to answer questions. Other times mid-levels sort of deflect when they don’t clearly communicate what they want done (e.g., “draft part of this brief” and gets upset when it isn’t up to snuff). Mainly, I am worried that I am failing at this and am not a good lawyer.
