Interviewing for BIOLIFE today and looking to gain insight from anyone who works for the company.

Honest question: do you like or enjoy your coworkers? Do you get along with them? I can't stand some of mine, but I try not to let it affect my job. However, it is starting to affect my peace and focus.

Hey Kanban fans -

Trello? Jira? Other? Why?

I've gotten a lot of mileage out of Trello. Can go shallow or deep. Can't beat it for ease of use, robust free features, lot's of options from them/3Ps on the paid side. I haven't had a lot of success on data/tracking / reporting sides.

MOSS ADAMS SoCal (Irvine, San Diego, LA) BRS people can you please provide some insight? I spoke to an experienced hire recruiter today and he said the company is moving to a hybrid model to include more in-person time between clients and staff. How often are you traveling to client sites and the office? is it as much as audit 2-3 weeks living in a hotel or sitting in the client's office? or maybe once a month? or are you working mostly remote? Thank you.

I’m a department head and need to frequently interact with a male head of a different department. When he’s busy and stressed he can be quite rude, but only to our female staff. No one does anything about this because he brings in a lot of business. Today he was rude to me to the point where I’m really upset and I’m not generally sensitive. He basically reduced me to a low level nobody. Not sure how to handle. It’s a small company. Advice?

I feel myself slipping into a deep depression. I hate this job but I don’t know what other skills I have to leave it. Not really a question more of just a confession I guess.

I’m the only associate (mid-level) in a niche transactional group. My team is slammed. My paralegal is on leave. My partners keep delegating work to me but then I have no one to delegate anything to. Nearly everything for 2 big deals is on my list. I’m so stressed that I feel like I can’t breathe most days. I need help but there isn’t any available. I’m starting to feel like quitting is my only option. Any recommendations?

The amount of people, even attorneys, who can't separate out the policy merits of abortion from the issue of whether it is a constitutional right is disappointing. I consider myself pro-choice ---I believe states should allow it, that the federal government can pass a statute to guarantee it, and that FDA statutes and regulations will preempt any state trying to ban chemical abortions through FDA approved drugs. Dobbs at its core is a case about the Due Process Clause, not the policy of abortion
