I just need to vent. I can’t fucking sleep because I’m laying awake thinking about the most insane conversation I had today with the ECD at work who went on a long rant about the importance of having a meritocratic hiring process at our work and how “if we hire two cis white men for our open roles then he’s fine with it because they are clearly the most qualified”. I’m enraged. I can’t believe people still say this shit out loud. I mean I can. But fuck.

Hi y’all! Hope this is the right bowl to post this question and get advice. I am dealing with an employer that preaches our values. The owner states that the values are important to her etc yet my manager violates these values and is involved in unethical behavior frequently. Example 1: My manager has told specialists (resourcers) that she will pay them under the table in order for her (manager) to get full credit vs splitfor the placement and therefore (barely) hit her target for the quarter.

Had only one call with my TL in first two months. Few weeks later, on workday I noticed that my TL got reassigned. Contacted him and have setup regular catch-ups. He dropped a bomb that he is leaving and I will be reporting to partner. Partner is time poor and no feedback is offered. This is my first consulting role and I feel I am not receiving enough support. Few people are helping to learn the ropes but WFH has exacerbating the problem. How do I get a TL to receive pointed feedback? PwC

I think there should be more males caretakers in this world. Some of my clients just feel more comfortable with a guy and it's kind of sad how often they say I'm the only male they could find.

What’s the best way to tell creative leads that you don’t think their strategic direction is hitting the mark? Especially when it’s for new business. I find it difficult to say “I don’t think this is what they want” without getting a defensive reaction only to have the clients say “this isn’t what we wanted”.

Quick vent, would love input: I’m an attorney working for a state-wide nonprofit. I’ve been crushing it this year and have been very successful in obtaining favorable divorce and custody orders. An OC (who is generally a terrible attny) just filed a bar complaint b/c I requested attorney fees, arguing they shouldn’t be allowed b/c I work for a nonprofit. The fee request is warranted & allowable. My manager thinks it’s a compliment, but I’m anxious. Thoughts?

I feel like so much of the media discussion about people NOT going back to work is centered on POC. I have white coworkers just as frustrated. Is this just another example of how POC are having the authentic conversation no one else is willing to have?

What’s your take on working along side a team in marketing but barely any of your team enjoy the social present, let alone having actual social accounts.

Thoughts?

Is there a corporate way to bring up to senior leaders that an IC is causing issues across multiple teams because they are demanding and also doesn’t collaborate well?
