Been told by my supervisor that I am the only rep scheduled today. I don't even know what to say/feel.

Should I shave my beard for MBA interviews?

Invited to a recruiting/networking session for an analyst level role at a Bain Capital. Excuse my naivete, but is business professional (full suit) the expectation here? Unfortunately my only well fitting suit was torn recently so trying to see if I can get away with another outfit

Hi there!!

🥰🥰
I just want to say that I'm queer and married, in a Cis-hetero passing relationship 🤭

Do we have to talk about dating like all the time?

Can't we talk about other stuff? Like promoting THE AGENDA (jk)

No, but FR let's talk about being open and accepted in the workplace? How did you do that? How (un) friendly is the work environment?

Thankyaaaaaaaalll 😘😘😘

My MD won't stop saying "penetrate" in our meeting. Apparently I still have the humor of a 10-year-old

What’s your take on working along side a team in marketing but barely any of your team enjoy the social present, let alone having actual social accounts. I’m totally respect people who want to keep their personal life private, but not knowing what the hell is trending while holding a role that deal with social media contracts everyday and giving others opinions, that’s what I’ll have problem with. Thoughts?

Recommendations on buying work shoes for guys? Any new designs? Favorite company? Need to buy two new pairs.

Just got staffed on a project in London. Any major differences from American business fashion I should be aware of?

I’m have a new theory about why juniors always feel like idiots and wanted to see if anyone else thinks this makes sense. I’m a third year, and am the most junior person all of my teams (generally me, a senior or two, and a partner or two), and I always feel like I’m messing something up. Is this just because I never get to work with other juniors and don’t see the mistakes they make, and that it’s relatively normal? And FWIW I went to HYS and I’ve had a clerkship so it’s not like I’m not smart

Need advice & perspectives: I got a verbal review from my manager saying he couldn’t see me as senior cuz I didn’t follow the design doc format he mandates from all designers. While I have been the only designer who does almost everything from design, UI asset creation, wiring up UI in Unity (I am in mobile gaming).
Also the product I’m on has been in MVP stage, things move extremely fast and design decisions changed constantly. He’s not on my team.
Am I crazy for thinking him a bad manager?

How do you explain to a interviewer that you are leaving your job because your new boss doesn't treat you well/fairly?

As a manager, how do you expect your employee to deal with a diffcult customer?

Do you tell your boss you’re going through a breakup? I’m phoning it in and obviously going to be camera off for awhile.

Had a panic attack at work and had to leave bc I felt like I was going to puke at my desk... I feel like a disappointment to my team, since I couldn’t go to the client site. First bad day in a while):

I'm moving to the East Coast from L.A. in a few months. Not seeing patients due to covid and using my spare time to plan. Any advice on culture at work, dress codes, etc.?

Since we returned to office in October, is it appropriate to give holiday gifts to team members?

How much do you share with your coworkers? I never really share much of my personal life with coworkers, but my team shares a lot about themselves & their family. I usually ask about their lives, deflecting the question. Is this weird? Am I being too cautious?

With so much uncertainty in the economy and waves of layoffs that have hit tech especially hard... do we think there's really such a thing as a recession-proof job anymore if you're not an "essential worker"?

Can anyone offer advice for helping with adderall side effects? I was diagnosed a few months ago and I am new to medication. I have been taking 20 mg xr in the morning but have a terrible crash around 2/3pm each day where I just get very very tired. Doctor recommended 10mg ir mid day to combat but I still experience pretty severe fatigue as a side effect. Just wondering if anyone has found any natural strategies to cope or mitigate. Thanks!

Does anyone else struggle with taking detailed notes during meetings and have tips for improving? One of the partners I work for demands that the most junior associate take detailed notes and circulate them after every call, but I have a hard time comprehending the call if I am taking notes because I’m focused on typing quickly. And my notes can be spotty when I get behind typing or get distracted.

Who here has successfully requested accommodations at work? How did it go? What kind of place did you work, and do you think that affected your ability to seek accommodations?

How have you dealt with/recovered from burnout and feelings of numbness while working as a therapist?

Hi Fishes,
Can anybody please help me to know when/ which level business manager is tagged to you ??
Thank you.

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

Does someone have a good punch list of things to do before giving notice at a firm?

I'm up for election next year. Kind of feel like I'm in Squid Game right now.

I've signed on to this, I'm really close to the end, but at a certain point I feel like I just want to check out of the game (and go in-house or something).

Is there any resources someone can point me to about the potential legal issues and more information from an HR perspective about contingent employees (temps, contract workers, part-time workers) versus normal FTE’s?

I’m working on a project for an HR class and finding good sources with real evidence about this from SHRM and news publications has been rough. Thanks!

Apartment building recs near LoDo/RiNo in Denver?

B1 to B2 , how much hike will get in cg, eligibility criteria?

Will the customer support future be led by chatbots or will we still be necessary? lol

My company is receiving backlash for…let’s say a poor decision that has gone viral in my city. For 3 days, almost everyone who has called customer support is just looking to insult and yell at us. This isn’t our fault :/

Hiring managers, what do you look for as you’re going through resumes?

Hi fishes, do you get paid by the hour or receive a salary?

Is anyone else worried about how fast digital platforms are changing? Older employees are already struggling to keep up, and it feels like we always have a new platform to learn.

Hey all. I was recently offered my first customer support job but a friend says I’m way too introverted. Will that really be an issue?

For those of you who lead a support team, how do you handle case/ticket queues when agents are OOO? I lead a team of 7 and looking to implement a better OOO process. Thanks!

How do you prevent the negativity of your job from impacting your personal life?

I’d be so much happier doing customer service through live chat instead of phones. Are there jobs that hire just for online support, or do they all require you to take calls?

When you’re applying for customer service jobs, do you customize the resume objective for each?

Favourite coffee + favourite show + getting your work done? Best balance ever #customersupportperks😌

Do you ever get overwhelmed by the number of software programs you have to use at work?

In my company, we have a staff of customer support agents to resolve user concerns, but they prefer to complain on social media and never call the number we give them. Should we transfer the agents to the Social Media platforms or insistently try to get them to call us?

How to stop customer service from ruining your day?

Is it normal to be ghosted after interviews? I’ve had three recently and not one callback.

Are you worried about how quickly AI support is growing?

Managers, how do you help your customer support team avoid burnout?

Do you find that most customers you deal with are polite? I've noticed a lot of them don't even say "thank you" after I have fixed their problem... it's disheartening

Today my supervisor told me "be helpful with customers, but not TOO helpful." I seriously have no idea what that means. OK though, you're the boss?

I grew up with a lot of social anxiety so I can't really believe I'm saying this, but my favorite thing about working at a store is that I have to talk to people every day. It's really helped me come "out of my shell" and stepping outside of my comfort zone has given me more confidence than I ever thought it would.
