I got to tell one of my team members she was promoted to senior leadership today. Such a good feeling but it’s not public so I can’t brag yet!! 💕💕💕

What do you do for winter shoes and commuting?

I walk a total ~20 mins in between train/bus stations and then getting from the stop in the loop to the office.

What do I do come wintertime for boots? Do you wear them while you're in the office? Or do you bring dress shoes with you to change in to? I wear a suit to work, so what boots would be good for winter but also look decent with a suit? This is my first winter in Chicago (a socal transplant)

Recently joined.. How to know who is our HR..whom to take concerns with..like need to switch project..etc..

What does everyone wear for client meetings in a WFH setting

Your opinion of “reply all” emails?

1) genuine interest
2) signaling
3) overt office politics
4) other explain

Annoying, especially when they aren’t relevant to everyone in the cc line. Discuss

My senior associate takes 1 week to get back to me with comments and then tells me that I need to turn the document asap. This has happened several times already and I’ve had to pull all nighters to meet these insane deadlines when it’s clear that they just waited until the very last minute to get back to me… any advice? Feel like I’m burning out

On a scale of 1-10, how “mature” would you consider the people in your offices/teams? In terms of acting their age, respectful, etc.

How does one deal with a manager who always thinks negative of people and never has anything nice to say about anyone? When I first met her she was really cool. Promoted me,and then became a completely different person.

Have you tried encouraging cards highlighting their strengths? When’s the last time you said “Thank you” out loud to everyone in front of everyone? Bought lunch? Participated in a team building event? Encourage a team atmosphere and keep the lines of communication open. Just my thoughts

I’m still trying to process seeing an agency exec well known for dismissing and ignoring POC held up as an exemplary diversity champion for women at the 3% Conference.

Started a casual relationship with manager now we both ended it. how can I get over the fact that i will keep seeing him at work (different team) and not to think about him sleeping with others?

How do you cope when your employer rapidly descends into chaos from the top down? Today is my 2yr anniversary with this company. In the past 6mos, they have repeatedly changed directions / goals, pushing out several supportive and productive managers in favor of a single chauvinist overlord who makes HR violations daily and does no actual work. HR denies every complaint made against him and he retaliates to the point of firing people. Very hostile. How do I survive until I find my next gig?

Is the SALT team in your company considered the “stepchild” of the family?? Intrigued to know if this just my team or everywhere in general.

True or False: If a partner sends perfect emails (spelling, grammar, and punctuation), they ain’t really a boss. In other words, more short hand = more of a boss.

Hi fishes!

I am seeing too many post about awards like rising star, Kudos, etc. People keep telling there managers recommended them for these awards.
My manager doesn't interact much with us. I consider myself as some one who has worked hard for project and other intiatives. Should I ask my manager to consider me and if yes how should I initiate it.
Part of MC team.

Thank you.

What is the most “do as I say, not as I do” thing you’ve been told or punished/reprimaded for as an associate?

I try not to get frustrated by clients but it just gets to me when their accounting people refer to numbers as positive and negative instead of debit and credit

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.

Are you responsible for giving performance feedback? Avoid giving personality based feedback. Examples include telling an Asian person they are too quiet/shy or telling a Black person they are agressive/abrasive. DO NOT DO THIS. It clearly represents bias in Performance Management. Performance feedback should be tied to business outcomes with clear examples of what the person does well + how they can improve.

Good news! #ihateaa comp upgraded me on a short haul in lieu of taking one of my stickers. Bad news: The #aassholes are on indefinite mechanical delay. Thinking I should have rented a car. #neveraa

If I was a junior on a team during a campaign launch, is that something I can put in my book? I helped during the concepting phase, was responsible for keeping the boards up to date, and wrote a lot of the supporting materials (print, social etc) but obviously I was not on the shoot or the lead on writing the script. As long as I’m clear about my role is that acceptable?

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

Planning to go to Islamic Center at NYU for iftar today. Has anyone over here ever been there ?

I’m looking for a strength training program that I can do at home with dumbells, kettlebells, and resistance bands. I’d prefer it not to be heavy on the cardio and Ideally something I can do in about 30 minutes. I’m a 5’4” female who teeters between healthy weight and overweight. Any recommendations?

Does anybody have experience working at Onfido?

When do we get the block leaves at kpmg. What are the dates mostly?

It grinds my gears that my manager always uses smiley faces and explanation points in his emails.
ae. Hey! The report looks great :) let’s add x and y to the slide! If any edits need to be made I’ll do them tonight :) Let me know if any questions!

Looking for firms that are hiring fully remote litigation associates. Thanks!

Has anyone ever had to deal with a situation where the main product of the company has been built in a way that makes it very tough to scale, adapt to new use cases and add new features? A number of employees across different teams are looking to make the case that we should consider remaking a second, leaner version of it that can allow us to be more flexible and competitive with the growing number of cheaper alts. Also keen to hear about "known companies" that had to make this kind of move.

So now over 4 months without work since joining TCS😵‍💫

How strict is Google about returning into the office? New York based

What are your thoughts about a transfer from the US to London? Is this something EY will allow? I am a Manager in Data and Analytics, a SMR in Adobe Analytics. Do you have many Adobe Analytics projects?

Looking for any communication roles. 10+ years of experience in public (local and federal government consulting) and private sector. Either remote/hybrid, or in the DC metro area. Thanks!
