How do you deal with some mild sexism at a startup that has no real HR?

Mild as in there’s just passing comments about me, I’m the only woman on the team, I’m steamrolled a ton in conversation and generally made to feel stupid/awkward. I’m fairly outgoing and outspoken as well, never felt this way at ANY company before.

Do you judge a coworker if you find out he is in an open relationship? Trying to decide if it is something I should try to hide or not 🤨

I feel like so much of the media discussion about people NOT going back to work is centered on POC. I have white coworkers just as frustrated. Is this just another example of how POC are having the authentic conversation no one else is willing to have?

Got notified by a coworker that my CEO tacked on 5+ hours worth of work to my weekend for something that has never been mentioned before. Rather than calling me directly (I’m a part of the company’s leadership team, so I talk with him all the time), he had her reach out and tell me that I didn’t have a choice.

She was as frustrated as me by the situation, and was left in an awkward position to get it done.

Am I wrong to think that this is blatant disregard for employee freedom and respect?

The perfectionist post made me think this is a good place to ask: how do you deal with a manager or team lead who's micromanaging or refusing to delegate? I like my team lead but everything down to the smallest detail has to be checked and rechecked by him and it slows down EVERYONE else. Our team is doing really good work, it's just taking longer than it should and it's frustrating to feel like he doesn't trust our skills at all.

I keep fighting with the product managers on my team, who keep assigning me new features to build without checking first if I had the bandwidth for it. How do I communicate this politely?

How you guys dressed for an interview? Is it something like the campus interview as well? Business professional with paired jacket/pants/portfolio? Any additional tips?

Help. I have not dealt with an anti-trans employee before and I need help with approach. This employee compared a mental illness with being transgender, and referred to someone trans as "he/she/it" at least once. The comments worked their way up the chain from an in-person event last week. How would you/have you approached this type of situation?

Here’s some unsolicited advice for junior account folks: turning on your camera with your team and ESPECIALLY upper level management is a good thing, and still counts as “face time”. We’ve noticed that the more senior a call, the more faces we see. Be a leader, show up, and turn your camera on.

How do you handle it when a direct report reacts negatively during a performance review?

I filed an ethics complaint in early June, and after going up the chain and calling out nothing was done on it, and I was being gaslighted/my personal life being used to show I am the problem in early October, I met with the execs in Ethics. The initial meeting, they gaslighted me, and then tone was better in the second meeting. Now 2-3 weeks later, General Counsel wants to see me. What should I do? Should I be worried? I have sought counsel outside of the company. This is huge fintech company.

I've been seeing a lot of ADCOLOR posts on linkedin, and some of the people who are liking and reposting it are some of the same people who were blatantly racist and rude to me when I worked with them. I wish there was something I could say/do about it, but it's literally making my blood boil seeing them like posts about "uplifting" and "supporting" BIPOC, only because I know that once they get off their screens and they're the meanest people

Partners/senior associates/mid levels, when do you expect junior associates to not act like such newbs? I feel like the patience the seniors in my group give me is wearing then, but I still feel so confused all the time.

Hello! I've been struggling the last few weeks because someone on my team has been taking credit for my work. This coworker is really good with buzzwords and getting the attention of upper management. I'm feeling discouraged - what should I do?

I’m a new lateral 3rd year in a niche practice area and the partner I do most of my work for with called me today saying he has a medical emergency and can’t look at emails today/tomorrow. We have several deliverables due this week and I’m the only associate on his projects. HELP

I recently gave my two week notice and will be joining a good firm.
While having drinks with my colleagues today one of them says “you’re not a citizen. Stop taking American jobs.” I am an immigrant yes, but I have a graduate degree from one of the target schools and have worked my a*$ off to be where I am. I laughed it off then but now I regret letting it go that easily.

Anyone have recommendations on how to handle being reassigned to a new boss in your org? I have no interaction with this person and have always worked directly for the CoFounder. More often than not, he comes to me for advice since I’m significantly more experienced with our company’s product. I personally think he is inept and a bullshitter. I also know this could be my ego getting in the way, but every time I see him I’m mad. I think our middle managers have personal goals overs company ones
