Current position has no option for growth. I've been told, you do great work & we don't want to lose you but the structure of the practice doesn't allow for it. So I applied to another company.

3rd & final interview is Friday. After some thought I told my current firm & said my preference would be to stay with them if there was a path upward. They say they're trying to make it work.

I feel guilty for stressing out the firm & being demanding. Have I screwed up here? Am I a jerk?

Question about inclusion…. I’ve been teaching inclusion for 5 years so I’m still a newb, but a first year coworker of mine said she got points off on her observation because her kids were scattered in the classroom and she was having to move from kid to kid to assist. While I see the point of putting them together for convenience, I don’t agree with this at all! To me this is like singling them out by putting them all together instead of INCLUDED amongst peers. What do y’all think?

I just got into reading books, any suggestions to start with? Which could help to increase media/marketing knowledge.

I joined fishbowl a month ago and while I’ve seen a couple contentious debates but I must say I’m pleasantly surprised at how respectfully ppl comment on this app even when disagreeing.

I wonder what makes this app diff frm others?

Advice on managing up / enduring toxic deal teams? I’m at the point where my stomach drops any time I see something come in from certain people.

How many billable hours per week is considered at capacity? I’m getting pushback on boundaries I’m setting about additional matters and marketing work from my firm when I’ve been billing 60-75 hours per week for the last 6 weeks, and I’m still behind on my work.

I expect my workload to remain at this level through the end of the year at least.
