I have a coworker who’s a functional alcoholic. I’ve never dealt with a situation like this before so I don’t even know if it’s my place to say something

My boss is convinced he’s a collaborator and not a manager, so he leaves ALL admin work on any case to the associate, including reviewing bills for the client and monitoring court websites for deadlines because our calendaring system is unreliable. We don’t have HR. We have a part time lady who is also a para, so we really only have 1/4 of HR. I want to push back on admin work because it’s just not my job. Advice?

Should I shave my beard for MBA interviews?

I've worked with the client for over 7 months now and he still calls me by my dad's name
What do I do 😭😂

I just found out a new colleague was brought on at 20% higher salary than my current salary. (Have been w/ firm 1.5 years) She doesn’t have a 4-year degree (working on it). How do I bring this inequity up and ask to be compensated equally? I have years more experience and My work is more complex - she is basically a receptionist. Any suggestions would be helpful!

This is mostly for me but in case anyone else needs it: if everyone else praises your work, don’t let the senior associate with the bad haircut get you down.

My partner is unstable, refuses to take their meds. Regularly snaps and lashes out at me. Im leaving and I feel compelled to tell HR for my replacement’s sake. Am I out of line?

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing. She’s made 5 other associates cry during her 5 year career. Got someone fired and made another person quit. It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.

What % do you guys charge a partner to advertise on social using your handle/ad account? Is a 100% markup fee plus an "agency" like fee for maintenance of 15% too aggressive?

I have seen that Some people are seriously demeaning Publicis Sapient looks like they have a personal grudge. I would suggest to connect with your HR and manager in PS or look for right people on LinkedIn.

Hi there!!

🥰🥰
I just want to say that I'm queer and married, in a Cis-hetero passing relationship 🤭

Do we have to talk about dating like all the time?

Can't we talk about other stuff? Like promoting THE AGENDA (jk)

No, but FR let's talk about being open and accepted in the workplace? How did you do that? How (un) friendly is the work environment?

Thankyaaaaaaaalll 😘😘😘

Want to get new bag for work and not sure if I should get a Tumi briefcase or backpack. Seems like I’ve seen more backpacks these days. Thoughts?

What are your thoughts about wearing chinos to work?

I'm dealing with some toxic masculinity at work from someone that works on my team. Does anyone have advice on constructive ways to address this type of behavior?

Hey Nagarrians,

I have a crush on a girl in our office...
We sat together earlier in March once in office, but didn't talked to her much as she was with her team mates(she is in another team/project)

We follow each other on yammer but not sure if she still recognise me.

How to initiate conversation virtually with her?

Help!!!

I find the Finding Nemo soundtrack to be a good deterrent from physically assaulting the client/first years/everyone.

How do you handle people who deny climate change and global warming? It happens way more than I'd like it to when I tell people what I do for a living. I used to ignore it, but I want to start clapping back at them.

I keep fighting with the product managers on my team, who keep assigning me new features to build without checking first if I had the bandwidth for it. How do I communicate this politely?

This is twice now in back to back weeks my boss has asked me where the disconnect was in our communications because I didn’t deliver on what “was asked”, even though I know damn well what was asked and what was done were the same thing. I’m not sure if he’s changing the meaning or isn’t communicating what he’s envisioning or what but it’s embarrassing to be called out like that, and to have people think you’re the dumb 23 year old.

Recruiters, is it frowned upon for candidates to reach out to you on DM on Linkedin? Or does it show that they’re more interested than just submitting an application?

“The shaft is not always welcome, but but hole always is.”

Anyone relocated from Toronto to London recently (within the last 2 years or so)? My partner and I are contemplating the move...we want more diversity in our lives and want to work to live, not live to work as we do here in our respective consulting jobs. Folks who have made the switch, would you be open to sharing your experience? TIA

Just finished my degree in managerial science and have a minor in marketing and a Sales certificate. Have had 4 different management jobs. Just accepted an opportunity as a district manager for an Insurance company. Not 100% sure about Commission-based only. Would love to manage in the sales world, and would love to travel on a weekly basis. Any advice or am I aiming for something unrealistic at the moment?

Does it look bad in my resume to resign after less than a year at a job? writing here the time I’ve spent at each company since graduating college:
- 2 years at company 1 (resigned to move back to home country)
- 2 years at company 2 (resigned and moved back to the US)
- went back to company 1 (it had grown exponentially after 2 years so came back at higher position) (resigned after 1 year to join a startup at director level)
- 6 months at startup and I want to quit with nothing lined up

Hi,
Can someone refer me for PWC gurgaon location

Domain - Operations/account analyst

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.

I have over 20,000 unread emails in my inbox.

I don’t get paid to write advertising. I get paid to sit through meetings like these. Kill me.

Sometimes I don't uphold the company mission 😱

my aunt got put in hospice today with 3 days left to live & people are sending me nasty all caps emails about timesheets. be kind to everyone, you never know what they are facing

I think Alexa is my best friend.

First day back after a 10-day beach stint. Putting on pants was hard enough.

I didn’t make dalgona coffee when it was a trend earlier in quarantine and I’m not sure if I missed out on anything...

Pretty sure everyone knows I’m stoned rn

Just discovered a public slack channel (that very much should have been private) that a few women at my work have been using to bitch about the co-workers they don’t like. There’s a lot of very mean posts about several of the CDs, account people, producers etc. There’s quite a few hateful posts about me and my partner too 🙈 should I tell them?

I need coffee to be able to work.

Is 33 too old for a nose piercing?

Despite all the cool super bowl spots that have aired, and will air, Nike/wK is going drop a tribute spot for the mamba. And it will be Bigger than Kap’s Spot.

Anyone else cursed with desperately wanting someone to tell you what to do to get better, but knowing that you would never listen?

I left my job without having anything else lined up otherwise I would have had a mental breakdown. I’m not even in that great of a financial place, but it was my job or my sanity. I know at least three other people who, in the past few months, have left with nothing lined up. I feel like it’s something we need to be talking more about. This isn’t normal for people to be doing this right?

My boss hits on me—and I kinda like it.

Found out that global CEO is a Trump supporter. Was approached by an ex-client who wants to do a side project for the LGBT community, but had to turn it down because of that. Mixed feelings. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Does anyone really, really love their job? Or do you just do it to pay bills and get to the weekend? I'm curious how many people actually truly love what they do

I am stupidly rejecting recruiters with legit offers because I am waiting for The One. The offer to end all offers. But they are taking entirely too long to notify me. They keep telling me to hold on.
