Depends how closely you work, how long the project is, how strong your feelings are. Don't do it if 1 month from now when it doesn't work out you're gonna be miz on your project. I started seeing my client and so far so good, but it sorta sucks keeping it secret from everyone.

I did and wish I didn't. Awkward as hell even tho the feeling is mutual. Circumstances keeping us apart. Would have been much more fun to just have the crush and fantasy.

I will say this I love working with the students . I love getting to know them . I smile to myself when I go to work . I still feel this way after last week being asked my three different people about doing something where I told them that I was not going to do. following day I was then ambushed by admin (where I have never felt more like nothing. Following this encounter with people in charge I had an anxiety attack. This was terrible and I have no trust . TAs are mistreated. Similar story?

Thereโ€™s no reason you have to put up with a job you hate. I spent many years working in a toxic environment with a boss who gossiped and lead through fear. He wasnโ€™t really much of a leader but basically a foreman. And he could make my existence miserable. I admit that it wasnโ€™t easy to find another job but the bottom line is: trust your guts. If you feel something is wrong itโ€™s because it probably is. Donโ€™t second guess yourself. Look for options and and fight for your mental health.

I could use some advice on this situation. Iโ€™ve been working for a small family owned business in Toronto Canada for about 4months. Iโ€™ve noticed a lot of unprofessional behaviour since Iโ€™ve started (yelling at workers infront of customers) Iโ€™ve bounced around different positions so much that the owner blames 98% of stuff on me when something isnโ€™t done, even if itโ€™s not my responsibility anymore.A week ago I asked for an employment contract to get this straight but nothing yet. What do I do?

Hi community, humbly seeking professional HR advice. I recently joined my companyโ€™s HR team. In an informal conversation, a senior HRBP, considered a peer, called 2 of our fellow HR colleagues โ€œworthless.โ€ I should have rebuked her then & there but was so caught off guard. This person is 20 years my senior. In the same conversation this person advocated for me on a separate matter & complimented my performance. I am not sure what course of action to take at this time. Distraught & unsure.
