Has anyone here ever been elevated to HR before and you feel like you did nothing wrong? People are so sensitive now days.

You can't just say this and not share what happened if you want honest feedback. Feeling like you did nothing wrong is very different from doing nothing wrong.

I completely get your frustration, but I understand where HR is coming from too. If someone who isn't Asian made that comment, even if it is a "positive" stereotype, they could be in a lot of trouble. I can't see HR wanting to navigate why an Asian person can say something but someone else can't.

Nah, hasn't happened to me. You're right that people are sensitive, but, we know that when we walk in the door. Jokes I made in my dorm I wouldn't make in a place of business, and that's just the reality of it. Turns out life goes on fine without having to have fun offending people.

Someone once took screenshots off my social media page and sent it in to hr. They called me and said there was nothing wrong with the posts but made me aware that someone was sending them in.

Also, one time I got flagged because I told a coworker in person that I got diagnosed with rosacea, and I’m colored so was surprising. I wrote in the chat I think it’s because of skin color and that got flagged too.

Yep this happened to me one time many years ago. I almost laughed when I sat down in there because it was something so ridiculous that I couldn't take it seriuosly. I don't even remember what it was now but someome basically got their feelings hurt and took me to HR. Nothing came of it but it was annoying.

Hello, I am in USI GES tax at DUSI. I love my job but not my team and mgmt anymore. I'm a performer and I'm dumped with work of 2 ppl while others are searching for work. I am burned out.

I resigned and accepted a job with EY GDS with a huge pay bump that DUSI can't match but I also gave up my potential promotion for 2023.

I've been feeling bad about putting my papers down and letting go off my promotion but I am really tired. I took up this job as an escape.

Did i do the right thing?

I never do this but I need some objective advice. My wife is 5mo pregnant and my sister is getting married. Wedding was adjusted because of COVID but she set the date knowing I might not be able to attend as I’d have to fly there. Now I’m conflicted because if I attend, I’d have to quarantine for 2 weeks away from my wife and miss a couple DR appts. I’m her only support where we live. Would be stressful for her but I’m getting immense pressure from my parents to attend the wedding. Advice?

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.
