Hi,
I just joined a company, I liked the work as per JD, but when I entered the team, I feel there is not much to learn and grow in that particular team. There are different teams in the department in which I am hired. Can I ask the AVP of department to shift me in another team of same department, I have joined the organization 1 week ago, shall I talk to my TL before telling AVP or should not say at all. Will it create any bad image of me infront of my AVP and my TL. Plz suggest..

I’m currently on a Secondment at a PE firm (100% utilized, 6-9months) and my partner still asks me to help out with BD/sales at EY. I’ve said no several times and now she’s becoming demanding. How should I navigate through this? Still wanna maintain a good relationship with the partner and EY, but been so close of just hanging up the call several times.

Do you ever catch yourself overthinking a customer interaction for 15 minutes after a call?

Is anyone else trying to find the balance between being for the company and for the employees?
I've been told I'm too much in favour of the employees when I'm defending the lower-paid employees, or talking about employee well-being, but somehow it's ok when the higher-ups go out of their way to give the higher-paid employees financial assistance, or to allow toxic managers to continue in their positions because their feelings shouldn't be hurt.
Be honest, fellow HR folx, am I too idealistic?

Welcome!
I started this group in hopes of connecting with like minded HR partners.

How do you “get-over” dealing with difficult clients without wanting to just give up? Need a better mantra than “fuck it.”

What’s the best course of action when the partner you work for (and who out ranks you) insists on making ridiculous arguments?

Potentially dumb question but what is the time expectation in returning emails to opposing counsel? (Even if it’s just a “I received it and will address it later.”) I try to respond to all internal emails (or emails to clients) in an hour but not sure what the professional expectation is for opposing counsel.

While de-escalating a situation or dealing with a child having an outburst I tend to notice outside coworkers coming in my room to offer help or just check in. I find this doesn’t help it actually makes the situation worse. Would it be rude of me to send out an email asking them not to interrupt since it can make the situation work. I know most of the time it’s cause they are being nosy.

I am a field marketer. I travel and cover 12 states. HQ is across the US on the east coast. My manager put a surprise calendar invite twice now to go to home office without consulting dates to see if we were available. I stood up and asked to be included on available dates and said I will attend virtually but asking me to be away for 4 additional full days away from my family without asking me is not OK. I already travel a lot and this boundary is super important to me. Am I right or wrong?

I have a team member who has a tendency to miss deadlines, is reluctant to take on tasks which they don't like or refuses to participate in company-wide mandates w/o me & the other team members validating the why's. Prior to joining my team, this behavior was alluded to but never told to me directly. Now I'm seeing it. I've discussed missed deadlines which are acknowledged but w/o permanent resolution. I'm going to give her a verbal warning in the upcoming review. Other suggestions?

Attending a company holiday party where they're doing a white elephant gift exchange. I barely know anyone except through emails and IMs given that most of us WFH. Fun but office appropriate gift ideas $30 or under?

I want to find ways to build up team morale without resorting to clichés like a pizza party. What are some of your favorite ways to give back to employees?

I worked for a startup for the last 2 years as a software developer. I was making $47,000, and when I told the CEO i felt that I was worth more, he told me that I think I’m underpaid because I’m a woman. He also told another coworker of mine that she needed to be in a meeting because of her “sex appeal”. This was all over call, nothing in writing. When I brought this up with my manager he said “CEO is a boomer, he says boomer things”. Is this type of sexism common? Any legalities with that?

How would you suggest dealing with a toxic boss? They gossip and seem to purposely be vague about critical information, likely so they can't be held accountable.

How do you know when its time to leave a firm because of the way a partner(s) is/are treating you vs. if you’re just being sensitive and emotional? Through an email, I feel a partner attacked my work ethic when I’ve been staying up until 2-3am for his case.

The associate that offices by me comes in and out of my office all day wanting to make pointless conversation. It’s to the point where I don’t even want to come into the office because I know I won’t get anything done. Anyone who has dealt with this before-how do you nicely tell someone to stop talking to you so much? I enjoy chatting with co-workers generally, but I don’t want it to take up hours of my day!!

Is it normal for people in our profession to be so closely monitored by management, or is that just a thing at my workplace? Feels kinda suffocating…
