How do you deal with a toxic colleague?

Everything he says is condescending. He's quite large and seems to be negative overall.

Is it a nice idea to be close to your employees?

Is it presumptuous to invite a new coworker to join our company’s LGBT+ employee group? He mentioned in a call that he recently got engaged to his bf. I want him to know he has a resource if he needs it but I haven’t interacted with him before and not sure if it’s the first thing I should bring up.

My first job out of college, I worked for a non-profit and the executive director was a toxic bully. She seemed very nice on the outside but once you peeled back the pretty exterior she was ruthless. She would yell and demean employees. She also would play favorites and peg employees against each other. These favorites would soon become scapegoats and be put on PIPs for no good reason. I could go on and on...

I'm a female attorney in a small town where we have 2 other female attorneys and a few female doctors (vast majority are male). I've noticed a cliche among non professional women in this town (primarily lifestyle coaches, pyramid schemers, batistas, and spa workers). After talking to another female attorney in my town, she said she also noticed this and felt like some of these women felt intimidated so they excluded us or ignored us at social functions. Has anyone else experienced this?

Happy Halloween, my fellow Tech Pros! I love this Holiday, anyone come up with a creative costume to wear at work?

For all beard carrying folks here, do you feel like shaving before an important meeting/event/interview? I am going to join one of the big 4 advisory practice in a few weeks. Is carrying a well maintained bear okay in consulting?

How to deal with condescending supervisor? Working with someone recently, feel being lectured all the time.

A reminder that we are part of a small community where everyone is interconnected somehow.

During my second month at my first firm job as a litigation associate, I stayed late working with a senior partner on a pro hac vice filing that he wanted done asap. As no paralegals were around, the senior partner and I did our best to complete the filing correctly. Come Monday, it was obvious there were mistakes in the filing and I had to redo the filing (now with the help of our paralegal) (cont below)

One of the most frustrating things is having the partner “de-prioritize” your deal. They stop responding to questions, take forever to review things you’ve sent them and act annoyed when you try to follow-up. Does anyone else experience this?

Can you change team before 1 year? My manager communicates something and says something’s else the next day. I am getting tired of explaining and sending/ asking questions over emails just to be sure. I don’t think she is as invested in me as other people who were here before me. What are my options?

Anyone ever had a crush on or become involved with a coworker? If so, how did it turn out?

Need advice - I've been talking to a Partner contact at a big-4 firm where I REALLY want to work. She sent my info to the managing partner in my city, but I haven't heard anything for about 3 weeks. Been playing it cool because I know these things can take time, BUT, I just got let go from my current firm. I have til 12/15 to find a new job.

Do I tell her my timeline is now a month, or is telling them I'm getting fired going to tank my chances of getting the job?

For those who have gone from one big 4 to another…was it frowned upon by your superiors/looked at as a slap in the face, even if your intentions are to leave on good terms?

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?

Hello!


Do we have any international members in here? I’m looking for some company recommendations that I can purchase holidays gift for team members in the UK to have it delivered! I am in the US and I think I can use PayPal to pay for it! Types of gifts are helpful too! 🤗

I’m not onboard with the direction our engagement partner is taking. I’m aware that I could very well be wrong, but I would still like to respectfully disagree.

Is it better to be type A, super-organized, super attention to details as a project manager? Or better to be a big picture person?

Is it bad etiquette to not go to the holiday party? I just started a new job 3 months ago at a big company and I just don’t want to bother with it to be honest but maybe I should just to show face and for networking?

My CD has the habit of emailing me over the weekend. Should I reply or ignore it?

At work do you ever describe who you’re dating without using gender specific pronouns just to avoid finding out if a co-worker is going to act weird about it? Lol

Can anyone give review about Honeywell for senior in leadership category.

Newbie, want to start SalesForce training. What should I start with?/ is it worth it? No tech/dev background

Does anyone have experience in or know anyone in a director level role overseeing investment performance operations? Trying to get a gauge on base salary expectations.

I know this sounds bad, but I really don’t care about volunteering or nonprofits. That said, I know that I need ECs to get into business school. Do I just have to fake it until I make it or are there other impactful activities that I can do outside of work? I have 2+ years until I apply so anything is on the table for me.

Will the house market crash? Or at least go down by 20%? Thoughts ?

The median inflation adjusted income in the US is 25% higher than 1980, I don't understand the obsession to go back to the pre-globalization era. Seems to me it has more to do with (cont)

Portfolio question: I want to update my book, which is on a 7 year old site and feels old design wise. The newer layouts are so design-rich they require bigger file sizes, but for a lot of my book pieces I have files that are small by today’s standards and look terrible in the new layouts. Any way to solve for this? Just stick with my old layouts? Am I overthinking, since I’m a writer and not a designer anyway?

My closest friend of 15 years told me she's been in love with me for several years. I don't know what to do. She's my closest friend. We talk about everything under the sun. I don't want to lose her. I could feel the pain in her voice as she told me this. She already knows she's just a friend to me. I'm serious about my girlfriend and we've discussed getting married. Is there anything I can do to lessen her pain and preserve the friendship?

I haven’t had a “release” in two weeks. There is way too much testosterone coursing through my veins rn. Feel like I’m gonna hit a lick.

Anyone want to chat and share secrets?

Do any of you believe that when you ask your SO a question, and they start to get defensive, then more than likely it is true?

How much does someone’s taste in movies reflect their beliefs as a person? I find myself quick to judge people if they profess to liking a certain type of movie. I’m seeing someone with radically different taste in movies than mine and I’m worried if that means they won’t respect me as a F 🐠. (Let’s just say the US is not my country of origin or his, and I don’t like movies from my home country because 9/10 show women as victims needing to be rescued by men, but he likes those movies a lot).

I had one of the greatest conversations in an interview yesterday.

But I feel like it wasn’t enough 😭

Hi fishes - I (24M) have been online dating (hinge) off and on for about 9 months now. I’ve went on about 12 dates, 5 of those with the same person. The other 7-ish have been one-offs and either them or I didn’t want a 2nd. I find it difficult to connect with people on these as I’ve always preferred the “friend -> romance” path in some capacity. I also find that browsing the app just makes me feel… bad. Anyone else experiencing this? Would love advice on places to meet people in person! thank u❤️

Made a deal based on trust and paid cash up front. Got screwed but learned very valuable lessons from this experience. Always have a written contract and never pay cash up front. NO MATTER WHAT. Can’t go into details but please send positive vibes. 🙏❤️🥺

I have to keep reminding myself that I don't need validation from certain people. It's hard.
