Hi! First time working with a larger company - suggestions on handling pronouns at work?

I’ve worked with smaller agencies where it was easier to bring up. Now I’m on a larger team, talking to/referencing people I’ve never met. I’m less concerned about my own pronouns and more concerned about how to make sure I’m using the correct pronouns for the people I work with.

I’ve been structuring sentences to avoid gender specific pronouns but would love to hear suggestions. Thanks!

Final round with a MM PE Firm tomorrow vía zoom. Is suit expected given its zoom? Shirt with tie and jacket on the chair? Trimmed beard acceptable? I know I’m overthinking it but appreciate any feedback 😀

What are the best ways to collect demographic details from your employees?

Our business is two years old and about 60 full time employees strong. We've never gathered demographic details from our team members such as ethnicity, cultural identify, sexual orientation, etc. and recently ran into an instance where the percentages of diversity among staff was requested. We obviously do not intend on guessing so I'd love your best options of how you gathered this info. where you are! thanks.

What are some creative ways that I can reward my team? They've been working really hard lately and I want to show my appreciation

My CD corrected one of my lines in a big email. I used the wrong verb tense. I’m so embarrassed. What do I do in these situations? I should’ve been more careful. I’m feeling awful rn.

Biggest stereotypes about working in diversity & inclusion....Go!

Are there any developers here ?? Do you have any teams where there is just one girl among a whole lot of guys ? Do you hate it when these girls are not detailed enough ?

Hi. People Manager here. I've been one for 12 years now and I encourage my team to not be "yes" people. At this time, it feels like my manager wants me and my team to be yes people for her. How do I deal with this? I've never been a yes person and I don't preach this to my reports. I don't know what to do. Help?

So... is everyone else's Resource Manager as much of a bitch as the one in my office?

How do you mentally put aside your personal stuff and not let it affect your attitude at work? I've tried giving myself a pep talk but doesn't always work

Do you bill for reviewing work by a junior? I spend a lot of time on it because it was their first writing for me.

Thoughts on asking for a new manager?

So my current CD kinda doesn't give any direction. They look at what I've done and change like one word. Maybe I'm an acd and I don't need much oversight? They also ask me to help lighten their load but never know what needs to be done and tell me to ask the account or design team. I just don't think they are super interested in working any more. 1 junior and a mid level already asked to leave this team. I don't wanna cause trouble or get them (or me) fired

Wrapping up my second year as a buy-side ER analyst (started at a sizable long-only straight out of undergrad in Summer 2019). ok to wear Ferragamo loafers to work or still too early?

Do you broach pronouns with your team? How do you approach that conversation?

How do you deal with imposter syndrome? I'm a new therapist and I work with a bunch of women who have been doing this for ages. They're all really sweet, but I can't help feeling like I'm way out of my league. I mostly see younger clients which I guess works in my favor, but I just feel like I'm totally incompetent compared to the women I work with.

My boss uses my first name in conversations with me a lot…like when starting a sentence. It feels like an intimidation tactic or manipulative. Can I say anything?

Hi y’all! Hope this is the right bowl to post this question and get advice. I am dealing with an employer that preaches our values. The owner states that the values are important to her etc yet my manager violates these values and is involved in unethical behavior frequently. Example 1: My manager has told specialists (resourcers) that she will pay them under the table in order for her (manager) to get full credit vs splitfor the placement and therefore (barely) hit her target for the quarter.

"You're great, but just a little too much personality to work on this client." Welp... 👋

Is there like fixed salary for senior analysts or there is a range? I am getting 5.5 ctc. Can it be increased?

I lateraled to a new firm because I was eager to take on more responsibility that wasn’t available at my prior firm. I was very upfront about this when I interviewed with the new firm and was guaranteed more substantive work. Half a year in, I am getting the same work as the first years as a mid-level. I’ve always been told that I operate above my class year but this has been frustrating and I feel like I’m regressing. Anyone else experience this?

Just curious — is anyone seeing claims or making claims of discrimination brought on the basis the alleged bad actor supports Trump or another republican closely aligned with Trump?

Case load= malpractice? Small plaintiff’s firm of 25 attorneys. I was a 2 year associate hired and given 50 active files in pre litigation status. 9 mos later a partner quit and I inherited 45 more. I got up to 105 files. Now I hover at 85 active files in varying stages of pre lit. I asked managing partner for help and was told to settle more claims to lessen my load. Is this what people consider negative work culture?

Does anyone use a programmable mouse (buttons on the mouse for functions like copy, paste, section symbol, etc) for work? If so, how have you used it?

It is common practice at my small firm by two main partners to fly through transactions for clients regardless of potential conflicts (for the company) or issues that may arise. It is often chaotic and has led to lawsuits being filed by investors against the clients. I know this is expected from time to time but I feel like I’m not getting the proper exposure to doing deals the right way. Would it be better at a larger firm or is this common anywhere? Mostly deal with microcap companies.

Is it an idle Bowl with no posts whatsoever or do I lack any rights to see them?

Hey Fishes,

I lied about my relevant experience with TCS HR in order to get a bit more package , my actual relevant experience is 3.6 whereas I told 4.6 yrs..

1 year exp. which is irrelevant for the role I'm being hired for.. I made my mind bcoz this 1 yr irrelevant experience is also from IT company only, so in BGV TCS HR conducts enquiry if I had I just worked there or not right?? , I'm assuming they'll not enquire my roles & responsibility, previous tech stack that I was working on..

Does anyone know of any industry orgs dedicated to LGBTQIA+ pipelines?

I’m sure it’s not new to 2022, but I’m feeling more than ever this year how much of “corporate pride” centers around gay men and calls it “lgbtq”. Are gay women, bisexuals, etc. not as palatable for audiences? I’m struggling with this a bit.
