Classic story that most of you have heard. Part venting part asking for advice. My bil applied for a job that matches less than 20% of his skill. With coaching from my husband and strong referrals he got the job(185k as manager in consulting ). Here I am in Consulting for last 6 years barely making 100k. I made a snarky comment that help only gets him this much and he will struggle at the job. My husband , rightly pointed out that I am being jealous, and most folks are fake it till you make it

In-house counsel - would you prefer working at a big company specializing in a field of law, eg, privacy, IP, employment, etc, or a small company being a general counsel?

Boss is gaslighting? Just experienced this for the first time - and would love to hear others’ experiences, too. For the past few years, my micromanager boss asked that I send them every draft of every contract to review, no matter how minor. In my performance review, when asked why I wasn’t promoted, they said that a reason was because I need to learn to stop sending them drafts to review! I said that I only did this because they asked for it, and they said they don’t remember saying that!

My co-worker is so resentful and competitive because I was promoted over her last year which caused a demotion on her end. People in the company still go to her for things that should be for me but she rarely corrects them. Shes still involved in the company too in a way that allows her to know secrets that I should know about but never do. I technically am above her within the company but this is how things are. I just do my job and try to not let it bother me but it does. Any suggestions?
