coincidence or something else - i keep getting put on engagements where team members are all men...including mgr...(more than 1/2 of the office is guys actually).. i'd feel more comfortable...

I manage a team and one of my employees has gotten accused of something that I'm really not sure that he did. There's no proof. I want to stick up for him, but obviously I don't want to be a person who doesn't believe an accusation. It will really harm his life long term if people decide that he is guilty of it. What should I do?

I think there should be more males caretakers in this world. Some of my clients just feel more comfortable with a guy and it's kind of sad how often they say I'm the only male they could find.

What's a guilty pleasure you indulge in at work?

What is the best way to tell customers that I will need a few minutes without making them mad? Or do you keep them chatting while you do the account stuff?

I'm a recent hire and have extreme anxiety about doing my current job. I'm wondering what my options are. I'm currently seeing a psychiatrist as a follow-up to a brief in patient stay I had before starting this job. However I haven't mentioned anxiety or job problems to her. If I go on leave, what kind of documentation or therapy is required? How long would I stay out? What would I tell my boss and teammates?

I feel like half the time getting your work made or ideas out there is just having a firm opinion. Obviously don't be an asshole but like most of the time if you just say "I think this one is the best because of xyz" people will just go with it.

2nd month into current job at an SME.
Culture is weird to say the least.
Owner’s wife is in charge of HR.
Broke the meeting room door when opening it.
Colleagues are saying I should draft a letter of apology and offer to compensate if I’m planning to stay in this company.

A little background on why they’re saying that. There was once a stain on the carpet of their previous office. The employees were made to fork out the bill for the cleaning.

Continued in the comments.

Moved to industry and noticed my boss has been dumping all of their work, meetings on me and blocking calendar for personal time. How do you manage this? I have been overwhelmed since I joined past 2 months. They are nice and supportive it’s just that the minute I complete one task they start pushing more and more to me with no breather in between. Some items that they owned before I joined are also something I have to ramp up on.

First day in-house, virtual. What to wear for the zoom calls? Female. Blazers/jackets to be expected or a nice blouse good enough?

How is it okay for Asian nightclubs (Mission) to get away with not letting non-Asians in? Saying it’s “closed for private event” or contrived dress code to non-Asians

I answer to two people, the General Counsel and CEO, however, they do not get along. I am often caught in the middle, one will want me on one project, the other on a different one. It’s becoming a bit of a hostile work environment at times…

Hi Fishies

I work at a service based MNC and resigned recently. I'm getting married within a week and moving with my partner, and won't be able to serve the notice period. My manager says to serve the full notice period or be labelled absconded. I asked the HR whether I will be labelled as absconded if I agree to buyout the shortfall but they're not replying. What to do.

MDs - do you insist that nurses / staff / patients refer to your title as Dr. so and so; or do you allow people to address you by your first name?

My manager (female) stretched her legs during a 1:1 meeting and wrapped her legs around what she thought was a table leg. Turned out it was actually my ankle. I was shocked and didn’t know how to react, and before I knew it, it had been too long to awkwardly tell her. So I sat perfectly still the entire meeting. She never found out and I never spoke about it to her.

Is this common? My girlfriend just does whatever I want or tell her to do strongly prefers it that way. If I ask her what she wants to do that weekend or where she wants to eat or if she wants to come over, it’s literally always “whatever you want”

Was watching Tulsa King and this dialogue from Sly Stallone was college in a nutshell “Do you think anyone really gives a s*** about what your college major is? English literature, biology, whatever. The whole point of a college degree is to show a potential employer that you showed up someplace four years in a row, completed a series of tasks reasonably well, and on time. So if he hires you, there’s a semi-decent chance that you’ll show up there every day and not f his business up”
