I have my first MD office lunch tomorrow and my coworker just bailed on me. I've ordered the food and it's being delivered. Any advise? Obviously will be talking about our product. I've never done this before....Do I stay through the whole lunch, do I eat with them (don't want to do that), do I clean up afterwards? UGH.

I know this was a while back, but how did it go?

When I did lunch and learns I didn’t eat with them I just ate before abs brushed my teeth and mouth wash and concentrate on the pitch … if it’s a dinner or after hours at a restaurant or function then yes eat with them.

Need some advice. During May of 2021 an operations manager and an hourly Hr employee started a relationship while the ops manager was married. We had supervisors give us pictures of those two kissing at workFast forward they are now engaged and getting married. The HR worker does not work here anymore since July 2021. Is it too late to investigate the ops manager for misconduct ? The ops manager has worked here for 15 years and is super valuable, the operation literally can not run without him.

I started a new job as an “office manager” at the end of January. The duties seem to align more with those of an EA, and I’m ok with that. Except my boss is a control freak.

I bought all new clothes from Ann Taylor that are perfectly acceptable for business casual. He hates me. Move on ASAP or try to stick it out ?

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us.
