How do you handle creeps in the office? I know I can't exactly report someone for just staring right? But it's like every day this group of men huddle in the kitchen and stare at all the women...

You can absolutely report that.

That’s a tough one. Any chance you can call them out on being creepy under the cover of it being a joke? And make it loud and repeat it every time you see them?

I would not make it a joke they won’t understand.

I’d go talk to them. It’s creepy and they should know better, but they’re flawed just like the rest of us. Try talking to them. If nothing changes, report it.

Tell HR. It’s their job to deal with it.

To add more context, this is going to sound really weird, but they are part of another company's software engineering department and don't really speak English. It could be a cultural difference and I'm not sure speaking directly to them when they have no problem ogling a women's butt in front of other people (from our company) when she leans over to grab a fork.

Also, we don't have a shared HR department despite being in the same holding company.

Try informing your HR to get in contact with that company.

Tell HR as it is your working environment and it is being made uncomfortable. I am sure you are not the only one noticing and if you are sharing an office space even more reason. Also they should be good at being non confrontational about it. If you do it yourself you run the risk of being received poorly and that is what HR is there to aid in.

Definitely report.

How do you all deal with the guilt of leaving a comany/ team? I have been working at Microsoft for 1 year now, and seriously considering moving. I find the code base to be very legacy and I mostly work on obscure bugs that I spend so much time on, mostly due to navigating this large code base and not having much docs to refer to. Hence I find the job slightly unsatisfying, and that I could learn more elsewhere. However, I love the wlb, the team and company culture. The guilt stops my applying.

I feel like people don’t take me seriously at my job given that I have a junior title. Half my job consists of chasing after people and no one bothers to answer my emails or follow up. Usually the requests I have come from my boss or for big projects we’d be working on. Thankfully, my boss helps me out & emails the people I need when I tell her no one responds but they’ll answer her in 2 mins or less when she sends it. Though I’m happy she’s helping, it’s such a pain in the ass to wait around.
