How do they celebrate Christmas/the holidays where you work? Our office has decided to do an ugly sweater competition at our potluck and I can't wait 🤣. Plus we had a guy come and put icicle lights up around the eaves. When I worked at a hospital we could never decorate so I'm really enjoying it.

Hello. What's is type of shoes do you wear to work
Flats, heels or sneakers?

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us. She starts work at 4:30am and leaves around 2:30pm, but she still expects us to stay until 6pm and work on the weekends! She gives us really long shifts and doesn't give us much time for breaks. And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?

I'm fine with you being a seat warmer, just don't be a roadblock for my work. Rant over.

A company didn’t follow through with a scheduled intro phone call. I emailed during the time scheduled to see if something had come up & after as well to reschedule. No one answered me or followed up. I can’t help but feel like this is a little red flag. If you can’t follow though on an intro call… what’s your HR & the rest of the company doing? 😬

Advice needed: how do I tell my boss my team sucks? I switched jobs about 4 months ago and while I like my new clients and my manager, our team is the most unprofessional, unreliable, & incapable group of people I’ve ever worked with. They require constant micromanaging & there’s been times when I’ve had to do some of their tasks for them to avoid missing deadlines. I feel like I’m being set up for failure & clients aren’t very happy. How do I talk to my boss about this?

What’s the consensus on tattoos in the insurance workplace? I’m in leadership and considering exploring my options due to recent personnel changes. I work remote and have arm sleeves, and any time I would be in-person I’d of course wear a long sleeve shirt to be professional, but worry about a cuff rolling up and tattoos being somewhat visible. Nothing is offensive by any means.

Hi, how would you make undesrtand a Junior Product Owner with low proactivity that no matters how many tittles she has she wont progress in her carrear if she doesn't change her attitude?

My boss asked me to take care of some of the details of a project for her—the stuff that isn't really my area of expertise. And now I feel like a shirker because I haven't been able to finish them yet.

I hate when you ask senior associates a question regarding an assignment they’ve assigned and you receive attitude-reply to the email vaguely without even addressing the email (example: “just complete the assigned, don’t worry about that”). Especially when the question/issue being ask is an important part of the assignment. It almost feels like I’m a bother for asking even though the associate(when assigning) said “feel free to ask any questions you may have while working on the assigned tasks”

I think there should be more males caretakers in this world. Some of my clients just feel more comfortable with a guy and it's kind of sad how often they say I'm the only male they could find.

My therapist just told me I'm depressed..do you ever feel like they tell you things you hear a lot or could have figured out on your own?

Trust. I had three situations in the last 24 hours where things did not work out as they should or I was given wrong information. These situations were small and are definitely first world issues.

But it underlined for me how important trust is and how I feel so alone not having anyone there I know 100% I can trust them.

Everything around me is I have the fight a little or a lot for the actual truth. And that saddens me

I’ve tried so much and no matter what I always end up back here again
