I have a boss that always canceled meetings with me including performance reviews. I’ve been trying to get on his calendar to let him know I’m leaving but just getting more of the same. All of my work is in good shape but needs senior eyes and not left for junior folks to handle. Some of them are high profile and client-facing. How do I close this chapter without burning bridges?

Feels good to be debt free. Paid off $60k debt in 6.5 months. Thanks to Uncle D for travel project !

Friendly reminder to your boss… He is just a human like you… don’t let him ruin your life.

I’m hearing people on my account are fudging metrics to show that we’re performing. A client is sus & holding 8:30am meeting tomorrow with that division. At big 4 hold co. Should I polish my resume?

Originally from Italy, I've been out to anyone at my former jobs in Europe without ever worrying about the reactions of my coworkers. Now I'm Asia and just started a new job, but one of my colleagues (also an expat) made a very weird statement about gay people having more chances of developing cancers (?!?!?), so I feel a bit skeptical about talking about my private life... The problem is that anybody else seems to be so welcoming and open-minded, except for this one guy. Any advices?

Hello all, need some advice. Am currently working for a government consulting agency, but wishing to leave due to the way the project is being managed...I am in at least 4-5 hours of meetings a day, so barely have time to prepare for demos, preparation of slides for the client, nevermind being able to write decent stories(tickets)... Usually have to rush writing requirements, steps, etc, ...
So I have been looking around.

Really looking for a way to turn around a toxic building culture with staff to staff bullying, cliques/social isolation, hard feelings on big topics (racism, non acceptance of gender identity). Last year the staff polarized with the lead bully whom I helped leave. And the lead gossip (who was my secretary) that gained their sympathy and turned them against me. She also left. Now I need to regain trust and eliminate unacceptable teacher behaviors. Open to any and all advice.

Do you broach pronouns with your team? How do you approach that conversation?

Hi. People Manager here. I've been one for 12 years now and I encourage my team to not be "yes" people. At this time, it feels like my manager wants me and my team to be yes people for her. How do I deal with this? I've never been a yes person and I don't preach this to my reports. I don't know what to do. Help?

Outside of the cpr one which seems important, did anyone attend classes and find them useful? Or did not attend classes and wish they had? The recommended curriculum is about 20-30 hours in total over 2-3 months which is a time commitment. Thank you!

PC vs Mac?
I just had a job interview which I think went pretty well until they asked if I would be ok to work with a PC instead of a Mac. They made clear there’s no option. That was kind of an unexpected blow. I don’t want to sound snotty, but I would be feeling pretty out my skin if I am forced to work with a PC. Comments? Suggestions?

How can I get a meeting with Alex Bogusky?

I put the clients that I worked on in my resume but most of them aren’t necessarily concept-centric (banners, retail design, etc) and therefore I don’t put them in my portfolio. Been interviewing recently and have been asked to show the work I did for those brands. What do I do?
