Be honest yall: if you saw that a job was not going to be a good environment and you’ve tried to make it better for yourself, how long would you stay to see if it would improve?

I left the 3rd day of orientation you can tell when a job is going to be toxic

I feel the same. I’ve seen enough to the point where I don’t even look for the red flags, they are apparent right away. I would give it a few months, I guess that’s the optimism in me

6 months

That’s fair time to give an assessment

Chances are it wont change, stay as long as you need but if you are able to comfortably leave or find a new job that'd be a good idea. From experience a bad work environment is rare to change as it would have by now.

Bingo! If it could change, it would have already. Imagine someone who genuinely wants a positive work environment…they instantly recognize that it’s not and don’t want to be there. All toxicity is not created equal, but it’s all toxic nonetheless. I’ve learned that it usually stems from employees and managers who allow it, or managers who create the conditions for it themselves. Walking into this and trying to change it is nearly impossible

Hi, well you have to give it a few months. I agree with someone who just said six months to see if anything is going to change. Nothing is going to change immediately no matter what you’re trying to do to make the environment better. If you’re just trying to make it bearable only for yourself then it’s not truly going to improve the work environment. Now if the changes being made are for all that work there you have to give it time to catch on. Also as a new employee your co workers don’t know you well enough until a few months in to support any positive changes.

My long term goal is to have benefits be my main area of practice.

I'm not sure what else I did other than being respectful and not giving flip at the same time but (4) mature ladies in my office flirt with me every chance they get. Some of my M colleagues are beginning to notice and giving the prod. I must confess it comes with some perks as I do appreciate how fast they process my requests/orders which a M colleague literally told me is biased. Recently one of them offered to bring me her cooked food and asked that I do the same..(Cont'd)

A report opened to me that they are having money problems and wants a raise. We are remote and they moved to a high CoL city. We gave an increase to help with retention 6mths ago. In my response, I helped mentor with best practices on how to ask for a raise professionally since I need to make a case to my Head on finances. But their performance has been avg and not seemingly worthy of another large raise within a short period of time. But how do I respond when they talk about personal finances?

Few tips to improve your visual design skills

- Learn Typography: Typography is essential because 60-70% of user interfaces are about written content displayed in a meaningful way.

- Learn Layout and Composition: You don’t need to be pixel perfect, but if you place labels 10px above inputs, you must do that consistently across your whole design.

- Learn Color: Color doesn't need to be complex. Understand how colors interact with each other and learn how color can set moods.
