I hate how my boss always goes on loooong monologue. What could take an hour of meeting turns into 3 hours.

I’m in this business to cure my inferiority complex. Making lots of money, working with fortune 500 clients and walking the streets of NYC with a suit, tie and briefcase makes me feel important and worthy.

I often wish I could be like my law school friends who either moved to small towns or have public sector or non profit jobs, wear sweaters and jeans to work and make far less than me, but are happy with their lives, feel a sense of meaning with their work and don’t need external validation.

What is the advice on what feedback to leave for a peer who really sucks at everything y'all have worked together on? It's about the time where everyone on my team requests feedback from each other and I'm nervous for it coming up. My manager knows that everything I've worked w her on I end up doing 90% of the work when it's meant to be split so it is a known issue. We're both at level 3 so are genuinely peers. She seems like a nice person but i have 0 positive work feedback tbh

Is it fair game to report someone’s particularly polarizing IG posts to HR? Was friendly with this person but now I wouldn’t ever want to work with them after some of the things they’ve posted.

I was released without cause today but my boss mentioned my battle with mental health and that I’m looking for other jobs before canning me. Should I address this with the board or leave it alone?

I teach freshmen who haven't met the only other single teacher in my department. Today, I asked one of them to take something to him and immediately kids started talking about how we were dating. Ugh.

My coworker has been really cold toward me lately. Doesn't say hi to me in the morning and always declines my lunch invitations. Should I ask if I did something wrong or should I just see if it blows over?

How did you give notice you were lateraling to people you like? Particularly if you haven't been there that long?

I'm lateraling to another firm because frankly I think the management of this one is terrible, but the people (and individual partners) I actually work with are awesome. I've only been here for about 18 months, so I imagine that short time frame will make it extra awkward 😬

I am looking for the post made by the junior associate with the voicemail from the female partner on a Friday night telling her how stupid she is. I didn’t bookmark the voicemail and I wanted to show it to a colleague to show her there are worse bosses than ours. Lol. It was circulating a couple of months ago. I believe it was a New York firm.

When you’re the only woman in a meeting and literally not one dude makes eye contact with you when you speak 🙄

Anyone else get frustrated when the partner brags about their billable hour amount for the month? Like congrats, you get to bill .2 for each piece of mail. You also get .2 for every letter your secretary types up as a "form letter" you never even look at. As an Associate, I don't get those easy/automatic hours.

Same responsibilities, higher expectations, and lower pay than my peer group but I’m told that I’m the future... Not sure how to approach ... should I raise with HR or my boss?

What are effective ways to ensure your team feels content within the workplace? There is a rise of many people feeling undervalued and not cared for as an employee. I would like to change that. No matter the job, no one should feel less than.

Partners, what are signs/examples that a project’s leadership is prioritizing the clients needs over the team beyond the normal ‘nature of client service’? Is a convo is worth it?

PEOPLE DO MAKE MISTAKES!! but My manager reacts very rudely everytime with me, And all seniors who are with him around 10+ years will assign tickets to me and they monitor me continuously.

I never had any conflicts with anyone, but i felt that they all connered me. I had a call with my director and senior director and explained about this on my last day

i never met my teammates in office since i joined and resigned in covid.
Did this happen coz i dint have much rappo with my them?

Super scared to give me 2 weeks notice .. I might cry or something how do I do it? I LOVE MY BOSS and My team , but I can’t pass on this opportunity.. I’d be really stupid if I did

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

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)

As a manager, how do you expect your employee to deal with a diffcult customer?

If buy the partners you work with regularly a holiday gift, how much do you spend? Usually I get baked goods or food items which you can’t tell the actual amount spent on. This year, though, I’d like to support local restaurants by encouraging people to order takeout—hence, giving gift cards.

How much is appropriate for a restaurant gift card from an associate to a partner?

Cross-posting: What was your narrative in interviews for wanting to leave biglaw? Presumably you didn't just say I hate working 60+ hours per week in a disgustingly inefficient, top-heavy organization.

I recently passed the CFE and was looking into the CAMS next. Any suggestions on how to best prepare for the CAMS? I’ve been mostly reviewing the index cards that come with the prep material.

How much per week/month do you spend on daycare?

Is there chance that we also get the raise after the all hands call on January like PwC??

Anyone from CTS please refer me as I could see lots of openings right now but I am not getting calls if I applied through Naukri or indeed.

I have to do a mock cold call to a business (restaurant) for Square Give me your best cold calls!

I’m a first-year MBB analyst. My dream role is helping energy / climate tech companies grow (more interested in ops/strategic work than in cutting checks). Are there funds that might be a good fit?

Are there any precedent that one transfer to PE client dierectly from FDD for an investment role? Is it hard? What YOE do you generally need?

Anyone here from Hitachi Vantara NICE Ltd Larsen & Toubro Infotech

I have offers from above organisations and have some queries. Please help to understand which organization to join.
Tech stack: .Net FS. YOE: 6

Would you still finish the screenplay if you knew there was no way it was ever going to be made?

What’s a red flag you look for when considering new clients?

Looking for a position in the ICU at Loyola Gottlieb Memorial Hospital, are there any recruiters out there?

What are you all doing for Thanksgiving? How f do o you like to spend in a normal year? Any different this year?

How can we integrate retry api call 2 times if it fails and log exceptions only once in .net core. Infosys Tata Consultancy Cognizant EPAM Systems EPAM Anywhere Microsoft Amazon i don't want to change existing logic and add code to multiple api for the retry logic

Looking for information on strategic planning. Looking for possible change but want to hear from current folks. Thoughts, ideas, pitfalls…

got excited about dental work today because it meant I got to spend an hour away from work during the day. is that super depressing?

Digital killed the advertising business.
Agree or Disagree?

I’ve gotten to the point that if I’m not completely slammed busy with work sweating my ass off, I feel bored and have caught myself before asking for more work, trying to remember to enjoy the lulls

I wake up every night holding my breath lmao. Idk if that’s classic sleep apnea or if my body is subliminally trying to off itself while I’m not paying attention.

I feel like I’ve been pretty negative lately. My team morale has been low and I feel like that negativity is seeping in and all I do is complain lately. I love my agency and want to love my job.

The turkeys nest is where you find inspiration

Just left one agency for another, smaller one and feeling overwhelmed after the first week. How long before I start thinking I made the best choice?

Asking vendors for multiple triple bids for multiple potential campaign ideas before one has been chosen or approved by the client should be punishable by unremovable AirPods looping GaryVee podcasts.

Selfishly, I don’t want lock down to end. I’m enjoying not having to be in the office and the reduced pressure of a more low-key social life has been secretly quite nice. Anyone else?

Clients look at me like I’m the agency research person and all I can think is “I want no part of your shitty concept testing because that’s not real research that will ever lead to anything insightful

Hearing the sir Martin announcement today, makes you wonder if he is a crazy old guy or a brilliant marketer

I just accepted an offer for a smaller niche shop in a smaller city and I'm so pumped about it. Hardly a confession, but I don't really have that many people I can share my excitement w/ before I quit

This open office plan sucks. Besides the constant din, we've got 3 agencies crammed on to one floor, sharing conference rooms and huddle rooms. Agency identity is lost and it feels like an ad factory

30 minutes into a two-hour review, I rescheduled it because I said I had a migraine, but it was really because I had the Kars-4-Kids song stuck in my head.

it’s been 3 years in this city and I really need to hang out with someone other than my boyfriend. But I’m terrible at “networking"

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence

I want to leave but I’m stuck in a lease signed in January. Everyone I know is moving home to work remotely and save money. I’ve never felt more stuck.

Anyone else feel being a creative director is just not all it was cracked up to be?

I totally just got crop dusted! I freaking hate open office floor plans.
