By the client sometimes. Attractive looking male senior = female client accountants are more excited to see him and work on his tasks than seeing the rest of us peasants. Even after he became a manager, they would comment how they missed him being around often.

it’s an unconscious bias, people aren’t straight up being treated better because they’re hot

After working until midnight with the same people for weeks on end, everyone looks the same. That really hot chick looks about the same as the chubby guy in my start class, I swear to God. I have no sexual energy left

There are three ways to get promoted in my opinion:
1. You can do a great job
2. You can get lucky
3. You can look GOOD!

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)

Hi all! I was asked coordinate a local happy hour for my team. The issue I’m having is that I’m currently pregnant and am not sure if I’m comfortable to hang out with strangers. What’s the most professional way to say no without hurting feelings / burning bridges? Or should I suck it up and go?

I just finished a big jury trial with a senior partner (SP). There were co-parties w/separate counsel. SP mentally checked out, to the point that co-counsel was asking what SP was doing/if SP was okay. I ended up handling most everything. SP did a few parts but went rogue and did things that were offensive/risky/bad for client. It became clear that SP is not performing like SP used to and may be a liability. Do I tell someone at my firm? Don’t want to offend SP or cause drama, but I’m concerned.
