I lead team of 30 contractors from various companies. We had to eliminate some positions (downsize the team), without much of a heads up from the client. As a result, we have to let go of those employees (cannot keep them on the bench).

Is there a proper way to announce this to the entire team? I don't want the team to feel anxious but i expect there to be questions. Any suggestions on how to phrase it without embarrassing those few employees? They're aware that it's not performance based

what should I wear back to office?

I want one of those ‘introverted but willing to discuss’ shirts to wear to work.. insert tax or audit 😂

I wish I could tell my lead how much i like him.

PS: He's engaged.

My company issues top of the line 16” MBP’s for engineers and lower end 13” MBP’s for all others. I work in analytics/ data science and struggle with the fact that my computer can only run 1 external display! No one else on my team cares. How can I navigate requesting a more expensive computer without annoying my leadership? I already own an upgraded MBP as my personal - can I offer to swap my work and personal machines?

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?

Any EA's do things to help improve the day of the person they support without them knowing and the person is oblivious?

Started in FDD as an S1 from audit a couple months ago and got put on a messy deal with just me and a director who is very “hands off” and I’m very overwhelmed 😅

When you tell your manager you are unhappy and they are excited that you are putting your notice and don't try and make any changes b/c the new person/persons they are lining up will just cleanup and make it better.

Then, they get here and you are left to train them on everything you do and your manager keeps saying "I owe you an apology" because they didn't realize how taxing and mind wrecking most processes you handled were... welcome to corporate

Honest question here-hw do I work better with Indians who come over frm India(on-site) to client?My patience with them is at an all time low since they jst dnt gt the methodology & hate owning anythng

I just picked up a new freelance gig after coming out (again 😮‍💨) but professionally and they're really respecting my pronouns! They did a whole thing where they're having people add their pronouns to their email signature too 🥰

They never make a deal out of it and if they mess up they correct and move right along. They're from the Midwest and some of the team is older too so its really nice 😅

Just wanted to share the good news and say it very much is possible to have people respect them☺️

Fashion Q: what kinds of pants do you guys wear day-to-day? I know skinny jeans are considered “out,” but super baggy mom jeans are not flattering on my small frame. I wear leggings when I’m WFH, but I want to look slightly more put-together/fashionable outside my home

What quirks of your team members drive you crazy? I have a teammate who never silences his phone. He also happens to chew loudly, with his mouth open.

Any recommendations for a work desk?
Not looking for something too big or pricey. Easy assembly / disassembly is a plus.
I see foldable desks going for $100. Any foldable standing desks out there?

I am in Team A and I work for projects handled in Team B. A handles a completely different product than B. I have been strategically placed in A as I'm in a quality related role & they didn't want me be reporting to the same manager as the project team

Now my concern is, my manager at A doesn't have any insight about my role, or how I perform, or what kind of opportunities that can be given me
How do I politely convey this concern to him?

(He is a first time manager & I just joined recently)

Just spent some time in Chicago for work and I love it. What is the main type of PR done there (media or other)? How is work culture, meeting people, dating scene? I’m in NY now

How often are you talking and meeting with your director?

29% of your rejected candidates will completely sever their relationship with your company if they have a negative experience.

Sometimes I come in early or work late just so I don't have to listen to my partner talk.

My boss asked me to submit my career aspirations after bringing in someone in a new position over me. Is this a bill shit assignment? Has anyone else ever asked to do this?

What are the best consulting firms in the capital markets and/or investments world?

Does anyone from agency world to “cagency” world have tips on learning the consulting side? I’m finding as an experienced hire, I lack in some skills such as economics and budgeting.

I have 1 sheet with names and sheet 2 with a large list of names that may or may not be those names - which also have corresponding unique identity numbers. How do I easily match the names with the same names and keep the unique identity numbers for importing later?

If you put your two weeks notice in, are you obligated to show up? I told my friend, yeah, of course unless your agency asks you leave. Right?

Where to go with kids and grandparents during cold season in Chicago or Northshore? Moved to Northshore recently with 2 kids and parents visiting soon.
1. Restaurant recommendations.
2. Play areas.

Can someone refer me in Accenture. I am currently working as Process Leader with 9 years of experience in project management and process management.

Happy Saturday!

Do you need an insight when presenting social posts?

Seeking insights & any advice. F🐟 , late 20’s, never married, no kids; in a relationship with a divorced dad of 2, things are getting serious. So much that’s new for me & I’m wondering if anyone has been through something similar & how they navigated taking that serious next step? What things did you discuss (I’m thinking finances, family dynamics, involvement with kids, premarital counseling etc). It’s also an interracial relationship. I mostly worry about his kids, want them to be okay!

How do you say “buy this product” in a headline without saying “buy this product”?

Sincerely,

Hi,
My offer as Operations Engineer with Oracle fusion apps got struck due to hiring freeze since June 2022. I am desperately waiting on this.😅

Any idea when hiring freeze will be lifted?

BC: when will the market crash?

I just got interrogated on a interview. Some people shouldn’t be recruiters. Just saying

I'll be joining soon . looking for relocation allowance details as I need to move pune. When and how to check the status ?
Should I wait till ko joining as it will be virtual ?

What would your reaction be if the company you applied to asked for you to get permission from your current firm before moving forward? The situation is the company you're applying to is a client of your current firm, and you've already gone through the interview process with the new company. Thoughts?
