I find myself frustrated (and angry at time if I'm honest) at a team member of mine. Our company is going through a hard time financially and in order to preserve as much staff as possible, my team has pivoted roles for a portion of the day. My staff is aware of the cash flow issue.
She's always been acerbic but recently has 0 positive attitute or anything good to say. Any feedback is deflected or ignored, and I get frustrated by her constant negative attitude.
Thoughts, feedback, suggestions?

What quirks of your team members drive you crazy? I have a teammate who never silences his phone. He also happens to chew loudly, with his mouth open.

What is considered business casual in SF? Is it suit with no tie or Polo and chinos?

Looking for advice:
My dept has 2 directors. One is so rude. The other ignores the issue. The previous HR director told me to report any issues because she was building a case (not appropriate info to share, I know). She's since left and there's a new HR director. This rude guy has recently sent me several very rude things through email and I'm debating how to handle it. Is it worth it to talk to HR? Im worried it'll just make things worse since none of it is "wrong", just rude and insensitive.

There are too many men out there who think that just because I'm being polite, it's a sign that they should flirt with me while I'm at work. I thought this was 2022, why haven't we as a society gotten past this yet?

At what point do you walk away when bosses or team values do not align with your personal values? Boss told me I’m too soft and I should be prepared to burn bridges if it’s a good outcome for company.

My boss asked me to take care of some of the details of a project for her—the stuff that isn't really my area of expertise. And now I feel like a shirker because I haven't been able to finish them yet.

My ethnicity makes me a minority but I would never join a minority affinity/business resource group. I think it creates separation which can lead to an “us versus them” mentality - a step backwards. Aren’t we supposed to respect or work towards respecting each other without the need to form institutions to make things “official”? I’d like to hear some thoughts from people who disagree and if they are in these groups or not

Advice: had a nice call with a GSD three weeks back, he suggested I connect with a strategy director at the agency. I followed up with both but haven't heard back. Do I nag them again? Is it too late?

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?

Happy Halloween! Who says Financial Professionals are not creative? Share what you dressed up as for work today?

Could I pull off asking my manager from J1 for approval of freelancing on the side? It’s quite common anyway for designers I think. And then my j2 can be “freelance” even though it’s full time?

Who else hates their job and wants to shove their boss’ head in the toilet?

Do we have image problem due to Bollywood. New Indian colleague used 'Paaji' 10 times in 1 minute conversation plus expecting me to laugh at anything useless🙄
Finally said her - Hey, I have a name 🥴

Manager texted me at ~10pm asking for a non-critical update. I chose not to respond (until morning) because I don't want to allow a bad habit to form. Thoughts?

I’m dealing with a difficult management situation and don’t know what to do, how would you report someone when nobody really cares what’s going on or is automatically going to side with the other person?

My firm has implemented a casual dress code through the end of the year and I’m hardcore judging everyone who is still dressing up when they come in. Who would voluntarily wear a suit or dress?

Out of my whole start class maybe 3 were diverse staff 1s in my office. There is no black leadership and it seems like no matter what i do no one wants to connect with me, it’s very discouraging.

How often are you talking and meeting with your director?

My coworker constantly undermines me and makes me look bad in team meetings. Should I try and address this directly with them or should I go to my manager first?

As a new associate finishing up what will likely be my largest/only provision client going forward, is it appropriate/professional to ask the client employee that I worked with the most for feedback?

mandatory in office time might move to Jan. Would it be cheaper to move to Philly now vs in December?

What is shift allowance in VOIS morning afternoon? Night

One of these days where I wake up and I’m like “why/how tf did I get into investment banking??”

Fishes, would you be willing to move to a new company for $20K increase in your base pay? No sign-on bonus and not a target company.

Which engineering is the best and why? I am an electrical engineer and I am sure that my engineering is the best career because it is the most difficult to study and at the same time we are the ones in charge of moving the world.

What is your favourite bar or restaurant in washington DC area?

Does anyone know if Uber drivers can see if we are sharing a ride with someone? Not splitting the cost, but having someone else watch your trip home?
