Hi everyone, looking for advice. Left toxic job for PT admin role, not really my area of expertise but they liked me. Not had contract, starting next week. In meantime interviewed for role more my area, won’t know if successful for 2 weeks. Should I start first job Tuesday and if successful with second leave and take that especially as not signed a contract?

If you need the job now, probably best to start and just see what happens with the other one. No sense in waiting and then being out of both. Not sure why a contract hasn’t been made yet, but be sure to read that over when you get one.

No matter what, you should offer you a contract, read between the fine lines, if you have quetions, ask them to make sure what they offer you is what you deserve. If all OK, then sign and ask for a copy of the signed contract. Better be safe than sorry.

In this job market, take what you can get. If you get job 2 you can leave. Does it suck doing that to someone, yes, but sometimes you have to look out for yourself. If job 2 doesn't work out than at least you weren't waiting around and it's too late for job 1 with nothing in sight for another job.

I personally had a job offer which I accepted. I wasn't sure if job 2 was going to hire me. Turns out they did and I quit job 1 on the day I was supposed to start. I love where I work now and don't regret it.

Hey Dallas folks!

I want to get to know the local private companies. I worked at a private company with 2-3k employees before my MBA. They had an amazing culture, but limited progression opportunities. I'm thinking about looking for a smaller company (couple hundred to couple thousand employees) in the Dallas area and looking to find an amazing culture.

Anyone have recommendations on companies with great cultures in the Dallas/north of Dallas areas? (I live in the Plano/Allen/Mckinney area)

Has anyone else had a mentor (assigned to them by the Company) who seemed to have it out for you? I mean downright sabotage to make you look bad left and right. I didn’t realize it at first. She was fake friendly, but she was discrete too. Some of the executives thought she was amazing, but I had to clean up her work all the time. She wasn’t above me either on the chain of command. Later I found out she had tried for the exec assistant role and they didn’t choose her, they wanted me instead.

Hey! I’m new here and would like some input. I’ve been working in a new position for almost 5 months. In that time I’ve witnessed some unethical and lots of unprofessional behavior. I’ve been yelled at and berated by my coworker 3 separate times because of minor errors. I’m ready to quit. There are so many major issues in this company that I don’t know if I want to subject my mental health to this degree of toxicity. I just don’t know how to move forward from here.
