Yes, all the time. I hate my new boss; our meetings are contentious, and I am find myself raising my voice to him. I hate what this agency and his condescending style has done to me and my professionalism.

Yes! I have a partner who is younger than me but acts like my non-submissiveness is the problem. I worked my way through college and have almost 10 years more experience than him yet he acts like because I’m not a partner, my view is wrong. I like most people but he I want to slap daily.

All the time and it’s due to the fact that I need to say more, provide more and do more in order to be heard, understood and to be taken seriously. Exhausting, annoying, frustrating and burned out!

I have felt that way far more toward females at work than I ever have males, as much as that pains me to say. That said, I haven’t felt that way toward anyone I currently work with. I’m thankful my coworkers and colleagues have been great where I work now.

Both but more women than men. At least the ones I’ve worked with

I once had a male coworker tell me that he didn’t think women belong in the workplace, WHILE I WAS SAVING HIS BACON. I immediately stopped working and said, “Bill, my motivation to help you is dropping.” He turned pale and apologized.

Yes, I trained a guy and then less than a year later he tried to throw me under the bus and tell me how to do the job I taught him how to do.

I posted this somewhere else before I remembered that I am in this bowl :) so, I changed jobs 6-7 months ago and I am realizing it is not a good fit. Leadership seem to not want to hear the truth so people tell them what they want to hear and if you don’t middle management gets pissed at you. I am seriously thinking about looking somewhere else. My question is how do you answer the “why are you looking to leave” question without bad mouthing your current company?

My boss in my creative agency threatened to fire me because I, a male, came into work with my nails painted. HR is having a very complicated day today as I found out I could take legal action if he does fire me since we don't have an established dress code that has any guidelines against male nail polish wearing.

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.
