Had a showrunner tell me during a writers' room meeting that “good assistants stay invisible.” Like… huh? I’m not trying to hijack the room, but I am trying to show I’m capable of more than coffee runs and note-taking. It feels like if you speak up, you’re “too ambitious,” but if you stay quiet, you’re forgettable. Is it me, or is that some 1950s nonsense? How do you show your value at the assistant level without getting penalized for having goals?

Is PwC AC Kolkata asking its employees to come back to ofice?

Last month someone from Natwest posted an opening on a linkedin professional network, I sent him my CV. After couple of days 2 rounds of interview happened and I was told that I am selected, salary was discussd and he told me that offer letter will be released soon. No commumication was done over email. Was he a fraud?

I had a bad week and had to take a last minute week off - when I returned to work the mid-level I was assisting was all smiley and seemed full of care, but now I find out that she’s frozen me off all email chains on the transaction altogether. What should I do? Totally at a loss here

Anyone at Fried Frank know what day bonuses are usually paid on?

I feel like I'm at my wits end. I teach self-contained classes and according to the ISBE website my classes shouldn't be more than 8 students unless I have an aide - then it can be 10. I have no aide and most of my classes are around 14 kids. Some with behavior plans that are only out of our behavior room setting for my class... Is anybody else out there going through illegal class sizes for self-contained? How are you dealing? Maybe a vent session is in order.

What was your career path to becoming a director?

For some time now, series about the pre-end of the world time is becoming more and more popular, this is the case with "The Handmaid's Tales" it has a perfect image design, characters with a perfectly defined background, and the ability to represent a totally possible pre-apocalyptic world. It has it all. Any other series with these features?

What is the pay range for a coordinator position and should you push for more if it’s a possible stepping stone to your dream career

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked. I later learned that he was making double my salary. I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.
