How do you deal with a roommate who thinks the work revolves around her? I’m getting tired of always having her dictate everything

You have to set clear boundaries and maybe be a bit more stern in your tone if she is trying to push you around. Clear on what you also want, and what each of you are responsible for. It is a two way street. With that said, it is, generally, unlikely for people like that to change. So it may also be worth looking for someone more compatible when your lease is up. Good luck!

I had my PHR back in early 2000, then made a career change to a paramedic (I know, right). I called SHRM and they said I'm eligible to test again even though I only currently have 1.5 yrs of HR.

I purchased the online study guide and it seems that HR has gone in a completely different direction - more operations related than employee relations etc.

Did anyone find this online training to be helpful? I test in July, so any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks - lauren

Maybe I’m out of the loop…but how are all these consultants on here making low to mid six figures with 3 years industry experience? Perhaps I’m just in the wrong industries but that seems too short a time to be advising others in a field. Are these just internet exaggerations? Or is there something big I’m missing?

Hi ladies! An old chestnut but would still love to hear your advice: i am fairly certain a key senior stakeholder is being difficult because he perceives me as a senior non white woman trying to boss him around. I have heard that he doesn’t like to surround himself with people cleverer than him in fear of them taking over his job, which to me further confirms this is a possibility. What can/should I do? TIA!

Hi everyone! I am in a weird situation right now that I haven’t been in before and could really use some advice especially from women who might have faced or seen something similar.

However, once I started working on the project, it became very clear that I’m in the wrong team and on the wrong project (continued below)
