Confession: I used to have a F co-worker who had bad body odor (the raw type that can be masked with deodorant or good hygiene). Others including F co-workers were making fun of her behind her back. I knew she would take it some type of way coming from a M co-worker but I sent her an email about it to avoid any type of face to face awkwardness. Contd in comments...

Where do those of you over 50 shop for clothes? I don’t need to wear suits as stylish business casual will do. Cardigans make me feel and look old. I need to cover some ankle tattoos when it comes to pants/dresses…. My fellow c-suite colleagues are not as tattoo welcoming as I have been

Any advice on dealing with a Partner who lacks project management/leadership skills? I'll take any suggestion...a podcast, a TedTalk, a yoga position, wine, hard liquor, basically anything.

Does anyone have advice about dealing with a workplace bully? Someone's already left because of them, they're a member of upper management, and I'm not sure telling HR would be a good idea.

For those that transferred internally from Audit —-> TAS, how did you talk to your partner about making the move? Just talked to mine and he seemed pretty upset. Our business is understaffed and I am considered a “high” performer. Just wondering if this should have been generally expected/your experiences were the same.

A toxic co-worker tried to throw me under the bus to cover their mistake in a call with leadership 😢😢. I showed the proof of conversation the next moment without hesitation to everyone. Suddenly their tone changes and tries to divert the topic 😒😒. I am distraught 🙁🙁

What are some creative ways that I can reward my team? They've been working really hard lately and I want to show my appreciation

About to start back in consulting and my IVF cycle is kicking off as well. How would you recommend broaching the topic with the lead office partner?

If an employee files a complaint about workplace behavior, do you treat them differently? I'm faced with reporting an SM for bullying and finding it near imposible to believe that it won't (cont'd)

Nine months on the job, 2019 graduate, feeling very ill-equip and self-conscious about making mistakes. My review went well, just had one partner who is generally difficult to get a hold of and who doesn’t actually respond say I need to ask more questions. How do I get out of this rut of feeling useless and like I’m not contributing to my job?

Could someone please suggest how to handle this situation?
My manager (Technology Director) sees me as an emerging thread to his position and stopped sharing details / trying to avoid including me in visible projects etc.,
FYI - His manager is the division head and Managing Director.
Why I think my manager tries to move me out?
- I am 18 YOE with a technically strong background
- Upper mgmt is starting to identify me as the backup for all systems. My manager tries to move me out since then

A company didn’t follow through with a scheduled intro phone call. I emailed during the time scheduled to see if something had come up & after as well to reschedule. No one answered me or followed up. I can’t help but feel like this is a little red flag. If you can’t follow though on an intro call… what’s your HR & the rest of the company doing? 😬

Can I still work as a telemarketer even though I have a noticeable accent? People don't say they can't understand me but they seem relieved when they get to talk to somebody else. My boss acts like I'm not very good at the job and I think it's because some customers think I am an "outsider," for lack of a better term. I just want to fit in.

I have a rogue 1st year analyst who is promising things to a client he has no business promising. He shouldn't even be talking to the client. This kid isn't gonna last long.

Someone tell me why a partner just took me to lunch as a "Thanksgiving treat" and he took me to Taco Bell

Does anyone have tips regarding attending social events, such as happy hours with coworkers and express that drinking isn’t my preference?
With me being the only one on my team who doesn’t drink, it causes me to stick out, and others constantly question why I’m not drinking.
It kind of deters me from attending work events, but I know there’s a lot of benefitting in being around.

I’m a new associate working for a well-known defense attorney in my state. On one hand, I’m thankful for the opportunity to learn from one of the best, but he also excoriates and belittles me for my mistakes. Any advice on how much it tolerable? I am here to learn and advance my career but he can be pretty nasty. (My mistakes are no worse than you’d expect a 1st year associate to make, in case you’re all wondering if I’m a major screw-up who deserves it) I leave work feeling a foot tall.

Is anyone willing to share tips on avoiding burnout and setting boundaries with their executives? I have six people on my desk and am finding it difficult to stay motivated and continue giving everyone the same level of support.

Hi friends,

I'm a new joinee in MSFT.

People in my team they don't come with me for breaks. (They blame the timings are different since they sit in crits but i don't think so because they have their own group of friends to go with)

Secondly, when my team members see me in cafeteria we expect they'll sit with us but people here are being rude they directly go and sit with their friends they don't call you to join. ( atleast they could have said they are accompanied)

People behave unpleasant

Thinking of switching to marketing at a non profit or university comms role. Any skills I need to get under@my belt before starting to apply or do you think there’s enough overlap to just learn on the job (quietly) thank you :)

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

Any HR Personnel in Berlin, Germany ?

Have to do a strategy assignment as part of hiring process - how much work is expected here? I'm approaching it like I'd approach a briefing for a creative team so a long thought out inspiring explanation of insight and strategy. Is that about what's expected?

Hi Fishes,

Could anyone refer me to an open position in CGI?
Position ID: J0921-2888.
Thanks in advance.

I currently work in Healthcare as a respiratory therapist for 10 years. I have been at my job, currently, for a little over 5 years. Alongside my bachelors degree I also have a masters degree in healthcare administration. Although, I am happy with my current position as a respiratory therapist, there seems to be not a lot career growth with where the department I currently work in within my healthcare system. I am wondering what doors/opportunities I have if I were to utilize my masters degree?

Hi, Fishbowl! Just graduated with my MBA and finally looking to put my degree to work after helping run the family business a year after I received my bachelors. Looking for a remote position, preferably analyst role or associate analyst to get started, in tech or supply chain fields. Any leads would be greatly appreciated!

Hi all! My brother has 8 YOE post his Masters with a US bank in their rates trading division as a software developer- managing, supporting and developing software for pricing trade executions, risk management and reporting requirements for the trading desk. He wants to pivot out of banking and maybe look for an opportunity with FAANG or with MBB/Tier2 consulting. Any inputs on how to go about this transition, what hiring managers look for and if consulting is an option? TIA

Any MBB / OW / SKP 🐠 here and willing to share post-MBA Consultant salary range? TIA!

Is it good to join as project manager in hcl with 12 yoe?. My top priority is for job security and wlb.

So much work, so little time😭

Im uncultured and want to impress my wife by making a really fancy cheese board but have no sense of pairing.

The only thing I've thought of is fig jam and you can't go wrong with prosciutto.. and some chocolate covered almonds probably on the side...

Trying to 🐟-source ideas.. what are the best kind of cheeses?

This is gonna sound super bigheaded & egotistical but I promise it’s coming from a humble place

I’m what you could call an over achiever. Damn near straight A’s all my life without really trying. Graduated school straight to a six figure job, wrapping up my masters, and I’m in real estate & stocks. I work out often, so I’m fit, and I’m considered a “chad” I guess you could say

I get a lot of praise for these things and sometimes I just don’t know what to say. I say thank you of course (cont)

I want the quarantine dry spell to be over.. 🤨🧟‍♀️

31M here. Met a girl last week, 31F, and we hit it off instantly. We have so much in common and everything feels right, tomorrow will be our 3rd date. She slept over last night, no sex, but we made out all night. I haven’t felt like this for anyone in a while and it feels amazing, but I’m scared to commit. I have this fear of getting hurt or putting in effort only for it not to last.

Therapy Scheduling Issues - I love my therapist but they are not able to schedule sessions on the weekend or Friday evening and I’ve missed 7/10 last sessions scheduled due to last minute work stuff. I’m sad I’m losing a great therapist. Should I try to make it work or find someone with more scheduling flexibility?

Pic thread! Pic thread!! Pic thread damn it!!! Come on everyone!!!!!

How do I divide the chores in this case? I’m the breadwinner - husband has been taking time off from work. No kids. Two dogs.

I feel like I do more chores because there are some things that I just can’t stand. Like dishes left in the sink, dirty floor, dirty dogs, laundry…etc. When I ask him to do those chores, he says he will do them later but he takes forever. So I do them instead. He does grocery shopping, yard work, some cooking. Is it unfair if I repeatedly ask him to do more? 😡😡

Why am I getting so many interview calls right after I accepted an offer 😫

I tried to break up with my SO and instead they talked their way out of it for an hour and we're now on a "break" that involves the same amount of contact as before so not really sure what i accomplished

At a happy hour and my boss just told me she wants me. Currently in an Uber going back to her place. AMA

Anyone know how to deal with sleep problems? I find myself waking up in the middle of the night and staying up for a few hours because I can’t sleep. When I do eventually sleep I get like an hour or 2 before work which leaves me tired and grumpy.

I really ruined things with the most beautiful girl that’s ever liked me before. I still very much like her but she doesn’t anymore. She said I was asking too much of her during the talking stage (after 1 month, I wanted to talk to her more besides only our weekends - she never texted/called).
Do I try again and give her more space or do I move on? I think she might open up more but just takes time which I didn’t give her

I lashed out emotionally at work recently as of result of a lot pent up frustration. In short I accused those around me of personally attacking me. And I am worried I will loose my job as of result.

At what age sexual stamina goes down for men?

I put up Halloween decorations this weekend 🎃🍁🍂

Let’s try a game: put some song lyrics into consulting / corporate speak and we have to try to guess the song. I’ll start:
Young lady, what is your name?
I’d like to converse with you, perhaps purchase you an alcoholic beverage,
I’m T-Pain, you are likely aware of who I am already,
I am signed to Konvict Muzik and Nappy Boy Record labels, ooh wee,
It is my understanding that this establishment closes at 3 AM, what would you say the odds are of you continuing the night with me?

I’m turning 40 this year. While I don’t want a mid life crisis (although getting a bike or sports car again do sound nice…), I do look forward to when I’ll just not give a f*ck. Worrying what others think is incredibly draining.

I bought touch up paint and covered at least 20 spots in my house without knowing that I needed to paint the whole wall to cover the spots 😩 anything that I can do instead of painting the whole damn wall?
