Clarity is a form of respect. I’ve been in roles where ambiguity felt intentional, not accidental. How do you tell the difference?

Take the initiative and define the role and responsibilities yourself. If they don’t like it, they can clarify what they want.

That approach can work in healthy environments. In others, being forced to define the role yourself becomes a way leadership avoids accountability. Initiative shouldn’t have to substitute for clarity.

Don't be afraid to question things. If someone says something that sounds like buzzwords and gibberish, ask them to elaborate. You'll often discover that people toss around unclear language because they literally do not know what they're talking about. Yet in some cases you can actually get them to provide clarification.

I agree. Asking for someone to elaborate is often where the difference shows up. When clarity is met with defensiveness or shifting answers, that’s usually the signal it’s not accidental ambiguity.

Any advice for someone looking to transition into a full HR Generalist role from Recruiting. I’m currently a Campus Recruiter with about 5 years of HR experience (Coordinator- Higher Ed). I received my PHR certification in September 2020 and sitting for my SHRM-CP in two weeks. I’m having a hard time transitioning into a full Generalist position.

I joined IBM around year ago.
i have 9 YOE and i was given band 7A saying its lead role.
However in project i was treated as team member l. Initially i was okay as i thought i will be familiar with environment and later will take more responsibility.
But then they gave me release after few months.
No hike also this year.
Future also seems unclear as i feel low self-esteem seeing collegues my experience earning well and having better roles.
I really think joining IBM was wrong decision.
