Few years ago in a firm where we needed 360 deg reviews from our colleagues so after 3 months of working there I wrote a review for a colleague B and then I asked her, she didn’t respond/ write mine so I ended up asking from my two managers. I was told there wasn’t enough support so they want to extend my probation, luckily I already found another job back then so I just left. B later quit to become a poet… anyways now thinking back, what could I have done? If I wanted to stay in the firm?

Yeah I dont want to go back but it was just odd!

Chances are her feedback would or wouldn’t have been enough. Next time ask again

Not sure if this is common!

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything. I was looking at both SHRM-CP and SPHR. Everyone that I have spoken to has the SHRM, but that’s also only looking at individuals in a small geographic footprint and within 3-4 different companies. I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks
