Do you feel like the people you work with are genuinely intelligent? Do you enjoy working with them?

I’ll be asking my last job for a letter of recommendation but I’m not sure who to ask. My boss, who is lovely and would write an amazing LOR. Or my boss's boss who would put minimal effort in but it would have more weight.

*inspired by an earlier post…I’m a F and just found out that apparently men you work with are picturing you naked. Is there an age limit on this type of fantasy? Or are y’all really fantasizing about the hot MILFs in your office?

My coworker always looks me intensely in the eyes when he speaks. I guess he does it to everyone but I'm the only one that seems to react to it. I always come off so submissive and sheepish when he does it. I feel like he notices and does it more now.

I'm not even submissive, it just reminds me of my crazy ex that I had great sex with. He used to blatantly stare at me watch me like prey before we dated. First time I experienced anything like that.

My coworker always takes a super long breaks during the day and it's hard to get a hold of him. Should I say something??

How some people are clearing interview and then getting into a project even though they don't have any skills, no desire to learn new things, can't perform a very very simple task even though it's already documented clearly, totally burden on team members. They don't even try to do basic troubleshooting when they faced simple issues, rather asks stupid question to junior who is having only 1 years of experience and ask for solution.
I noticed this in every project I joined

I keep fighting with the product managers on my team, who keep assigning me new features to build without checking first if I had the bandwidth for it. How do I communicate this politely?

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us. She starts work at 4:30am and leaves around 2:30pm, but she still expects us to stay until 6pm and work on the weekends! She gives us really long shifts and doesn't give us much time for breaks. And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?

Lateral associate question: when submitting my conflicts questionnaire to clear conflicts, do I need my firm’s prior approval of the disclosures I’m making? I’m not sure how this works…

today a customer asked to talk to my manager, then complimented me in front of them. Felt really good.

Was chatting with a CD at my agency and he mentioned that it’s harder for a middle age white guys like him to get a good job right now because agencies are hiring more woman and POC CDs. God that was uncomfortable. People are so not self-aware. Saying that to a minority. Really?? I bet it’s still easier for white men to get more offers than me. 🤦‍♂️

How do I help a new product manager who’s joined my team? They’ve been with the company a month and I’ve been conscious not to overload them so they have been spending time understanding the product and users etc as well as looking at 1 feature. We’re a little further behind than what my manger was expecting in terms of progress. What can I do to help them and not seem like I’m micromanaging or stepping on their toes?

Recently finished a simple assignment that took forever because my cd and I weren’t aligned. He had me stray from the brief and now part if it is inconsistent with the greater piece. I just feel we’re not on the same wavelength. Which I hate because I live for collaboration and being a team player. And I joined this team at the beginning of the Covid WFH orders in March so I’ve only met him like once before. So not a tight relationship. I gotta talk to him about it. Any advice?

What do you appreciate in a cold email from a creative trying to network?

What do you hate seeing in a cold email?

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.

Anybody actually had any success resolving issues at work that are clearly rooted in bias but because they are microaggressions they are just dismissed or explained away as something else?

Recently did a drug test and obviously I take meds (dextroamphetamine). Will my new employer flag me? Do I need to provide a doctors note proactively or do I wait or them to ask?

What are the best ways to collect demographic details from your employees?

Our business is two years old and about 60 full time employees strong. We've never gathered demographic details from our team members such as ethnicity, cultural identify, sexual orientation, etc. and recently ran into an instance where the percentages of diversity among staff was requested. We obviously do not intend on guessing so I'd love your best options of how you gathered this info. where you are! thanks.

How do you deal with inexperienced attorneys misguiding you or telling you to do things that are not correct? I’m helping out the Florida office (I’m in Ga) and I’m less familiar with their rules. I really want her to go ask someone what the correct steps are.

What do you do about missing work? I have so many students that miss days or just don’t complete work in class and are given the work to make up, but it never gets turned in. I spent so many days tracking down so many students hounding them for their missing work. Do I keep hounding them or make them be responsible 8th graders and give them zeros until they learn. I only grade 1 per week IF that. There’s usually only 2 handouts a week. The rest of the days are activities or other hands on things
