Have you ever threw hands at work with a co-worker or boss? What happened?

Working at a company and they can’t seem to hold on to their female, black and people of color employees. I blinked and 3 of the people who were in my onboarding class were either fired or they left.

I'm a bit of an introvert and find it really hard to warm up to people at work. It seems like I only attract certain types of personalities. Any tips on how to be more charming and charismatic?

Need advice - I've been talking to a Partner contact at a big-4 firm where I REALLY want to work. She sent my info to the managing partner in my city, but I haven't heard anything for about 3 weeks.

Reading the independence brochure, looks like it does not specify something related to this scenario but just wanted to confirm . TIA!
