She doesn’t sound very likable. Stop telling her things and just go to management with it yourself. I can’t imagine you’re the only one she’s done this to. But in my experience people who kiss up and kick down don’t get fired. Management can’t see what they’re doing on the ground.

She sounds threatened. Start keeping notes at least of things she says and does. Pull an Omarosa and start recording everything. You will need evidence not just your word or heresay.

Yea start taking notes of her aggressions, on this thread.

Can you be moved to another team? Also, can your ideas go directly to leadership so she can’t intercept them and steal them?

‘likable’ ?!

It depends on your budget. 😎
A man-in-the-middle attack is fairly cheap these days. 🤓

Easiest route: find a new place to work. It will be like she never existed

are the rumours about layoffs true ?

Hey all, ~7 years I've been working with fixed income analytics (duration, spread, etc) and perf attribution for institutional inv mgmt firm with close to $400B aum.

I'm being laid off in a couple months. Should I say I'm being laid off in interviews? Or is that a negative? I get severance if I stay the whole time so ideally I can time it. Have finance degree, CFA charter.

Most of work has been IG, but also some HY, EM and equity. Want to go into equity research/PM- worried I'm pigeonholed

I love my job and the people I work with, but there’s one thing that really bothers me: the lack of diversity. Sometimes when I walk into the office and see everyone else around me as the only POC, it feels kind of weird. I don’t think anyone here has ever said anything racist or sexist to me personally, but I don’t feel comfortable talking about these issues with anyone because they might take it personally and then things could get awkward between us.

Some times I feel bad when fake experience people join the company and overtake other people with genuine experience. But in today’s scenario fake is equivalent to genuine.
Being in Cognizant I know still few people who were surviving well despite layoff with fake experience and take salary in lakhs per month . Genuine people are still left paralysed with low salary !

The week of my wedding, my husband (PL SQL Developer 4 yoe) was laid off. That was a couple of weeks ago.

Ultimately I think we will be ok, but I know he's hurting / stressed / and could use a supportive partner.

Currently I work for a mid-sized InsureTech that’s had 2 rounds of layoffs in the past 6 months. Salary is 100k, with no defined bonus. I have close to 4 years of PO experience. I am debating whether I want to leave since my boss is very chill and I have amazing WLB. Benefits are eh. 15 PTO days and healthcare premiums are okay. Should I jump ship? What could I be making at a bigger company? What types of companies are most stable right now?
