Boss: I need you to stop challenging me on every decision.

Me: I don’t want us to have a confrontational relationship and I think we can agree something needs to change. When you make stupid decisions, that affects my business and it makes me feel like you’re not up to the job. That makes it harder for my team to do our jobs. I think to be an authentic leader I need to be radically candid with you and point our your mistakes. So are you willing to work with me on this?

Curious what firms are doing to keep people socializing during COVID. I miss my coworkers but I'm sick of zoom calls.

Has anyone successfully moved laterally in an org to escape a bad boss? How did you do it and how did you handle any political ramifications? (cont)

What are some essential travel items to request for Christmas/Birthday from family? Also, any recommendations on a good, sturdy, cute briefcase for women?

How did you give notice you were lateraling to people you like? Particularly if you haven't been there that long?

I'm lateraling to another firm because frankly I think the management of this one is terrible, but the people (and individual partners) I actually work with are awesome. I've only been here for about 18 months, so I imagine that short time frame will make it extra awkward 😬

Do you guys respond to emails and phone calls over the weekend or have you been able to put boundaries in place wit your boss?

I recently joined Microsoft and see there is lot of internal politics ..i am not sure about all teams.but only my team

Managers are assigning good works to people who are close to them or favourite rather than good people ...is it true in all teams or only in my team..also it's not my individual opinion evryone gossiping the same in my team

Thoughts on a manager texting you to ask why you aren’t online Easter weekend when all of your work is completed and another senior who can’t handle their own work decided to randomly send you their returns to review?

I have several job offers I am considering. My dilemma is when I put my resignation in for my current employer should I tell them why I’m leaving? (Toxic environment passive aggressive behavior from superiors
And staff that habitually didn’t do their job thoroughly and I was prohibited from writing them up?) thoughts?

My boss won’t stop sexually harassing me. Verbally, email, texts - 400+. He even set up his office with a display of sex toys and edibles condiments to show me that he planned to give me oral sex. All started 3 weeks into the job. I moved my family cross country for this job and just bought a house. He promises me none of his requests or my responses will affect my job and is just begging now to be friends with me. Tell me what would you do if you were me.

I have a coworker who’s a functional alcoholic. I’ve never dealt with a situation like this before so I don’t even know if it’s my place to say something

How do you tackle ignorant managers and favoritism in the team ?

My male boss recommended the book “The Confidence Code” which is a self help book for women. It was recommended to all the females that work under him. I feel like that's a little inappropriate?

Anything wrong with using a suit jacket as a sport coat? Found a couple jackets (suit separates) that look good. I don’t wear my suit jackets without the pants though.

I am a sixth-year associate overseeing a second year. They are an exceptionally good associate. I am honestly shocked at the work product I receive and the way they go above and beyond. The issue I have is that they sometimes take awhile to turn things around. For example, I ask for a draft response to the client, and they take three-four days. I know they’re busy, but I would like to address this in a positive way. Any suggestions?

I have been in an awkward reporting structure for 2.5 years. On record I’ve reported to the VP of Marketing, who was crazy toxic, and technologically inept. I’m a senior website manage and she had no interest in my role. She shirked me off to also report to her two directors, PR and Call Center. Needless to say, that’s been a difficult situation for me. She’s gone and the new VP starts tomorrow. Any guidance on how to ensure this ends with the incumbent VP?

Do we have image problem due to Bollywood. New Indian colleague used 'Paaji' 10 times in 1 minute conversation plus expecting me to laugh at anything useless🙄
Finally said her - Hey, I have a name 🥴

I told my boss about my ADHD in confidence because I was looking for a small accommodation (working from home x2 a week). I got it, but now I lowkey feel like she told other people in the office. I'm not sure if I'm being paranoid but someone I'm friendly with in HR has been acting weird since Monday, which is when I told my boss. Would she have to tell HR legally? What should I do?

Sales folks - how do you introduce yourself on client technical and functional calls ?

I have had a 60%+ increase in volume from this time last year, but we have not had a new hire in my role to assist with the influx. Additionally, others in my department are overworked and they're delegating down to me.

So not only do I gave more work than ever, I'm doing tasks outside my original role

My supervisor cant get headcount approvals. We are suffering as a department. I don't want to overrule him, but should I go to HR?I'm breaking down at this point and see evidence others are too

Just got let go and my manager said part of it was because I was looking for other jobs. I didn't look for other jobs at work, so I'm not sure how they could have known that unless a coworker snitched on me. Is it worth it to try and find out who or should I just leave it? Can't deny that I'm seriously pissed off about it.

Thoughts on long-term (5-30 years) fate of the market for consulting in London? I’m considering a move from outside UK but some have argued that London market is “just a fight over the increasingly diminishing pie”, despite the temporary uptick in consulting work now to deal with corona& Brexit. Perhaps I should hit Asia or US.

Booz Allen fish…cross posted for as much visibility as possible…Trying to gain some data for comparison. How many people are on your admin team? How is team morale? What’s turnover like? Are employees awarded or recognized for their work? How often? What about promotions? Are they happening regularly? TIA!

Attorney 🐠 - my female SO is moving over to big law in the coming weeks. Need ideas on gifts. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!!

I was interviewed for Angular. In JD it was mentioned Angular + Node.
I was told it's a second shift project, with MEAN technology stack.
Client is AT&T.
Anyone having idea about this?

I've officially made it - got a parking spot

I’ve been using other people’s stock site logins for years from 3+ jobs ago

Has anyone here done a google case interview and can share their experience?

Hello,
Anyone attended for ETL developer (IICS)
Interview in Deloitte?
YOE:4 years

I made it through the first 2 interviews and I think it went well. How long does it usually take to find out if you move on to the final interview round?

Hot takes on the internet- especially in anonymous apps filled with overpaid, out of touch, educated fools - is the best way to form your opinions on the issues of the day.

Set very low expectations for raises and bonuses this year. START NOW. No firm can beat what the market is paying for talent, so under promise with low expectations. That way people will feel grateful when they get a 2% COLA in a few months.

If you’re not competent enough to solve real problems in the organization, create a few minor problems that you can solve and look like a hero.

But you have to ensure the org feels the pain of your decision before promising to fix it. It’s like the three parts of a magic trick: the pledge where you float your idea, the turn where you inflict your idea, and the prestige where you fake a way to fix the mess you made on purpose.

Only works managing up, tho.

Make every effort to record the fireworks display tonight.

You’re sure to watch that video regularly. Unlike the last 7 years of fireworks displays you watched live through your smartphone screen.

We’re approaching annual review season and it’s very important you put your 2022 goals into the system. Most of you don’t have any goals listed (10.5 months into the year) and they goals mean f*ck all in the evaluation process, but I need you to get your goals documented TODAY.

Anyone here memorize their credit card number? What mnemonics do you use to remember it?

For those of you who faked having children during this WFH period to establish some sort of WLB or whatever other reason… how are you going to spin it when we go back to the office/ client site?

I want some advise on how to work for all big4 at the same time

Read your childrens’ diaries every week. That way you know if you’re not giving them enough privacy.

Join the Politics Bowl for mature and well reasoned discussions about the issues of the day.

what should I wear back to office?

How do I ship my mom in law back? Almost ruining our marriage and loosing the affection for my wife and kids already

A guy who used to be on my team resigned a few weeks ago for another opportunity. I ran into his new boss socially and told them I was really impressed with how this guy was handling the drug bust and battling his heroine addiction during this career change. It shows real grit. That’s what wishing the best for others looks like.

Family vacations are a must. The house is so much quieter when my wife takes the kids out of the country.

Post your hatred here. Feel free to include your name level and role and the names of those whom you hate the most at your firm. Pls include why. Incriminating evidence is welcome. This is a safe space and there is literally zero chance your boss or any of your coworkers will find out. Not that many ppl may attention to what is said here.

How do I retire by next week? Need suggestions. Thank you. ✊ We in this together.

Conduct annual performance reviews with your kids and let them know their status in the family is at stake. There’s no feeling in the world that compares to seeing an 8 year old kid on a PIP turn it around and earn an invitation to come back next year.
