Hi, I received the below offer for L65 Principal Program Manager (non tech) at Microsoft in Atlanta. I have 12 YOE in strategy consulting. Can somebody with experience with MS please advise if this is good or lowball? The recruiter mentioned that this is max for Atlanta and anything else will require an “exception” process. I don’t think I want to risk losing the offer. Thanks!!

I try to stay out of it. If there's a problem that arises that involves me, I just try to make my case more or less politely. I'm not a big fan of office drama, I prefer to leave that to the people who live for it. Every organization has some of them, I guess.

Having worked in companies globally, and in global companies I've learned that conflict is handled differently in different countries and cultures. Surprisingly I found it easier working with people in the US and UAE as they have a 'you know what you get' attitude. You will know if your manager is a horrible person there is no hiding it and most times in corporates I have had good experiences. Europe and the UK is another kettle of fish altogether, it is the most toxic environment I've experienced and they have truly mastered the art of smile in your face stab you in the back.
Conflict resolution in the US is simple, even simpler in African countries but not in Europe and the UK. So depends where you are from, the colour of your skin and your personal levels of tolerance for bull.
I want to say thank you, I’m African being lived and worked in France I find it quite easy they show their emotions that they don’t like you and you deal with it and since I work in UK OMG so hard sometimes I don’t know what it is even the conflict! Thanks I never worked in US maybe I should consider that. Other question please : I can see you have a large experience and from it which country you prefer to work. Thanks
With strong words and strict diciplin this everything in the large company because compliance always coming from wrong situations then we ca discuted with team menagment for what and why the situtation arrives in that point! But always conflict caming at the companies to no have any hyrarcy of businss plan execution from ceo to pmp pmo cpa hr etc
Take time , continue writing directly at Forman , Hr discuss for that conflict from which position comes for. example take all yours schudel done by description than leave the time to discuss face to face if the fact not existing:)
My white superiors and peers just result to calling any POC they have conflict with as “aggressive”
let the manager decide, if u don’t have authority then don’t make things worse for urself
From what I have seen in my own experience, when it comes to workplace conflicts, they are only resolved when one of the parties involved, especially me, winds up walking out of the office and finding another job.
Workplace conflicts don't really get "resolved" as long as the conflicting parties are "working" together....when these parties are not in overt conflict, they may be planning to work on their next time when they come to blows.
The other problem with workplace conflicts is that they tend to force the rest of the office/department into "taking sides" and that is very divisive, especially in a workplace setting that requires a team effort to get the job done and I have seen managers in my past resolve such conflicts by firing the conflicting parties outright in the hopes that if they remove the sources of the conflict, the rest of the team can come together for the purpose that they were hired for.
When managers don't fire all the conflicting parties in the workplace, they continue to have problems with team cohesion and inadvertently show favoritism in their office or department toward the surviving member of the conflict, which in turn may breed a new conflict in that office or department.
Workplace conflicts are the death of teams and departments and when managers can't see that in the departments they lead, chances are they won't see what comes next when members of the team and department focus their energies on leaving the enterprise to solve their own problems with this conflict.
De-escalate whenever possible. Being right is not worth losing your job over
