I have a direct report that works at a different location from me, we have regular weekly one on one's, we talk every single day, whether it be teams chat or a video call if she needs anything. At the same location my direct report works at is another HR team member, they're peers, this person has reached out to me a few times about what my direct report is or isn't doing. It's like she's managing her, it's really starting to rub me the wrong way and Idk how to tell her to stop. Any advice!?

Any business casual shoe recommendations? Looking to buy a pair of shoes to go into the office. TIA!

Question for the Big Fishes! (E-Suite, senior leaders, Directors etc), how do you like to be approached or engaged with at social work functions?

What’s the best way to make a positive impression without defaulting to work related discussions or being bored with traditional small-talk?

How would you give your manager a negative review?
Manager's boss reached out to obtain review about my manager. I have nothing good to say about him, would you be honest? If yes, how would you go about it knowing that both he and his manager can read this review and know where it's coming from?

How to tell your firm that you are lateraling to a different firm? Feel like it’s not going to go well.

I’m a new analyst at a PE firm, and my associate keeps blaming me for things she does wrong. Like she will tell me I made the wrong change, even though she is the one who changed it. Or in calls with other people, she won’t take responsibility for things that she told me to do that the other person calls out as wrong. How can I handle this situation without making her mad but also not letting her step all over me?

How do you say no to your manager if you have been asked to work in a shift and the work that you have to do has no relevance to your actual job.

Yet again I’m watching a client fuck up a nice spot so bad I can’t put it in my reel. Absolutely disheartening.

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 there anyways to deal with two faced bosses in reliance ?

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.

Recommender asked me if I wanted to write my LOR and have them sign off. I don’t think it’s a matter of laziness but they wanted to be sure they accurately captured what they needed to. Would you just ask her to run a first pass and offer to review after?

How to deal with people flirting with you at work.
I’m married, and one of my coworkers flirts with me. Nothing super overt, but definitely not professional. We’re good friends and work together constantly because we’re on the same client, so I don’t want to make it awkward. Do I just do nothing and let it go? It is mostly just odd I’m not super offended, but I’m also clearly uninterested!

I found one of my coworker's anonymous Twitter accounts, and it has a ton of red flags involving bigotry, sexism, etc. It's a personal account, so should I mention it to HR or not?

How do you handle rude clinicians in the workplace? I always have an attending talking down to me.

Put on a PIP due to my manager stating “they don’t feel like they know me, due to my camera not being on” during meetings larger meetings. If you thought consulting was archaic and bureaucratic, you haven’t experienced tech.

I don’t quite know how to respond to this especially coming from a career where people at my level weren’t on camera at all. I just don’t like being on camera, but I go into the office to meet the team. I’m not in the best living situation for on camera Zoom calls.

One of our older employees is constantly failing IT's phishing tests. We've given her several warnings and we're now at a point where she will have to face some type of consequence (up to HR). My thing is, she is older and isn't as tech-savvy. I want to advocate for her to cut her some slack but I also want to be mindful of the fact that she has access to very sensitive information and is constantly on the verge of leaking this information. Any advice on how to navigate?

Have you ever jokingly titled a deck, pdf, mockup etc. with an insult to a client and sent it over without changing the title? What happened?

What's the process for leaving the firm? Is there a formal process that I have to go through or do I just tell my PML that I took another opportunity and I'm out in 2 weeks?

A lot of my frustration with my job is due to the partner I work most with - he is always busy, doesn't respond to email, doesn't provide feedback, doesn't provide recognition, reviews at last min....

Hi There - I work for an organization that has retail locations. I had the team lead call me this morning (a Saturday) because he had to send a new employee home. The employee he sent home had a mental health episode shortly after arriving to work. The team lead had asked him to be on order taking duty to work on the new employee's customer service skills. The employee said he could not interact with people today and when pressed further started to cry and said he (new employee) felt like he wanted to hurt someone else or himself. The team lead had the new employee call someone to come pick him up.

My question is, has anyone else ever had to deal with a similar situation in the pas where an employee admits he could be a danger to himself or others?

Thought this bowl will be fun when I joined but people are posting serious stuff here as well 🤔

Hey! Not really a sneaker head myself but I’m trying to buy my gf a Christmas gift and needed some expert advice. She wants multicolor (ie pastel) AF1’s and I’ve found some great looking custom pairs online. I’m hesitant to buy expensive custom shoes from sellers with little-to-no reviews. Has anyone bought custom shoes? How can I be sure that quality will be up to standards? Has anyone had issues or any tips? Best/safest sites? Just want some advice before I purchase. Thanks!!

Hello Are they any other HR licenses that are as valuable as the SHRM and HRCI ?

So someone I know asked HR about a boot policy. When he found out that there wasn’t one, but his boss said there was (who gave the guys $ for boots and the claimed it on his expense reimbursements as something else) the boss got mad at him for askingHR (and in trouble for the expense reimbursements) and then 2 days later laid off my friend. There appears to be no notice of bad performance and this person always was the first person on the job site ready to work. Thoughts?

SPHR exam- has anyone ever been “randomly selected” for an application audit? This just happened to me and the sheer amount of effort that is going to go into collecting all the documents almost makes me not want to follow through. Since I didn’t finish undergrad, they’re asking for a copy of my high school diploma or transcript and that itself is going to be an absolute nightmare to get hold of. Guess I’m not really looking for a solution here, just venting.

Looking to finally go get my SPHR having the PHR for the past 6 years. Still value and pursuing and obtaining?

I already have the SHRM-SCP. . would it be a value add to go for the SPHR as well?
