Biggest issue is not feeling safe enough to say what's on my mind at work. High levels of sass and sarcasm seem likely to get me fired. 🤔

I have been interviewing for a new job but I keep hearing about layoffs and a recession coming. Is now a bad time to switch jobs?

How do youbset boundaries with coworkers. I feel like they won't figure out how to do stuff then I figure it out for them.

Has anyone had a manager they just don’t vibe with/relate to? I’ve been trying to connect but I haven’t gotten them on my side yet. How did you manage to crack the ice?

I have a crush on my counsellor at work. She's much older but still really gracious and beautiful. Should I go for it or is this a bad idea?

Third yet at a firm in a major market (not NYC). Pay is slightly below market and bonuses are not market either.

Laid off with 1 YOE. Do I include college Awards / Extracurriculars (have just one line to list each right now) ? How about SAT scores?

The old administrator at my department won't allow me to write on what I want, even though I thought that was implicit when I joined. Can I push her to allow me to take control of my research?

I seem to go through this cycle where I'll try to fix a problem, fix it and then go back to my old ways. I'm trying to fight against it but basically my performance review is coming up and I think it's likely I'm going to be let go because of my failure to meet expectations. Earlier in the year I was going through a rough time and working through it, I have gotten better over the course of the year but I feel it's not enough. I got fired from my last job. I'm so sick of this cycle

How do you deal with a boss who has a bias against you and demoralizes you? Calling him out a bad idea?

I asked for a raise and instead got laid off. Told that after looking into finances not only can they not afford a raise they cannot afford me. But I know for a fact they are replacing me with an Agency that say they can run our Social Media for 500pcm. Is this normal practice these days?

If you got fired today would you have a Bach up plan? What would it be?

Will there be any layoffs in GDS?

Is anyone hearing chatter in banks/FIs about recessionary job cuts or hiring freezes yet?

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?
