Hey all, so a few months ago, my manager identified some areas of improvement for me and put me on a “progress plan”, the caveat being that it wasn’t a PIP. It was only if I failed the “plan” I’d get put on one. Towards the start when there were missteps, they’d first get verbalized over a call and then committed to emails for “records” but since then when all my feedback has been largely glowing from other departments, stakeholders and him, they’d only get verbalized contd.

Please can anyone help me in completing independence policy exam

How to deal with people flirting with you at work.
I’m married, and one of my coworkers flirts with me. Nothing super overt, but definitely not professional. We’re good friends and work together constantly because we’re on the same client, so I don’t want to make it awkward. Do I just do nothing and let it go? It is mostly just odd I’m not super offended, but I’m also clearly uninterested!

I have an associate's degree in graphic design and work designing wedding stationery. I've been at my company since 2016, and am now a design consultant - speaking to customers directly and creating custom artwork and designs for them. I know I'm underpaid (50k/year in the SF Bay Area) but I thought the benefits and stability were worth it. I'm now severely burnt out (most of my team is) and not sure which way to go, or how to grow. Any tips/advice?

Thanks!
