Traveling next week. What hotel has the best promotion now?

My boss assigns projects with unclear expectations and provides no guidance on how to achieve them.

I've asked for help, and, to avoid a long post, she expects me to figure it out. Perhaps you go through this too, but when I don't have a clear guide on completing big projects, it paralyzes me because I don't know where to start. On top of that, I have anxiety, so "it has to be perfect".

How do you approach projects when your boss plays the "guess what's in my head" game?

Confession - I left federal consulting and into commercial because I can do drugs without worrying about my clearance. Thanks for coming to my tedtalk

Hey everyone,
I’m currently a Market Analyst for a small consulting firm. I’m looking for a new role with room for growth. I bring enthusiasm and experience in modeling, forecasting, and research. I would be grateful to be connected or referred for any open roles you might know of. Thank you!

Hey all!
Any insights you can share on work simulation assessment for PgM?

Thanks

Unfortunately was dragged into an audit despite the fact I don’t work in audit. Why does audit RM say yeah your hours will be 50 hours/week when you’ll have to work way more to do the audit. Seems very dumb - if you have work do it, if not don’t work…

I've been approached about being an expert consultant. Has anyone done this before? I'm interested to hear people's experience.

Anyone work @dropbox Canada? I'm interested in their Chief of Staff role. I'd love to know more about culture there.

I was contacted by a recruiter with a job in the EV market, which is something I've been wanting for a while. Im at a comfortable point in my current position where I can do my job very easily, change would mean starting from zero again. What should I do? Any advise?

Anybody have a different word to use for ‘quiz?’ The kids can do the HW with me/on their own- but as soon as you pass out a quiz- everyone freezes. 🙄 I get test anxiety, seriously.

I’ve listened to Lil’ Bit by Nelly and Florida Georgia Line 7 times today.

You can slap anyone in the world right now with zero consequences, Purge style. Who do you slap? I'll go first: my landlady that increased my rent by 120%, while I still have no hot water.

Hi! Can anyone provide a salary range for an Experienced Associate in NY? Regulatory Risk and Compliance sector…

Creative ways to respond to customer concerns without sounding scripted?

“Isn’t meth, like, so early 2000’s? Does anyone do that anymore?”

“i just fell asleep in the elevator”

“The shaft is not always welcome, but but hole always is.”

I made an announcement during our team meeting that I'll be taking another job offer. My petty boss said, "Well now that we have a little more budget, the rest of you will be getting raises!"

"she doesn't have good boobs" †

From a UX Director... “Design is everything. You’re nothing without design.” Excuse me?

“I feel like I’m the stupidest person here”
“You are not stupid. You literally work at one of the top consulting firms in the world”
“I literally got a 6% in one exam during undergrad”
“Well damn I guess you are stupid”

Is there any good reason to take a 10+ minute call in a bathroom stall at work? Noticing people doing this as RTO ramps up and I really don’t understand why you wouldn’t go outside or at least in your car.

This is twice now in back to back weeks my boss has asked me where the disconnect was in our communications because I didn’t deliver on what “was asked”, even though I know damn well what was asked and what was done were the same thing. I’m not sure if he’s changing the meaning or isn’t communicating what he’s envisioning or what but it’s embarrassing to be called out like that, and to have people think you’re the dumb 23 year old.

So overheard after work:

I left a company a while back and a coworker of mine that also left just informed me that one of the C level execs has an SEC decision against him for embezzling several million.

This was from before I worked there...

Why are people not good at ending zoom calls? I feel like I’m always the person who throws in the closing statement (I.e, ok well sounds good is that all? Have a nice day! This was helpful thanks Karyn..looks like we’re at top of the hour already) 🤦🏻‍♀️

"She's like 30, but doesn't look super old"

"I don’t like morning people. Or morning. Or people”

OH: (RE: required meeting attendance)

"Ok, fine. I will say yes now but fair warning I may fake my own death beforehand."

Is it just me or have you also noticed that during the endless back to back zoom/teams meetings, people drift away and not take down action points?
