I once got pulled into a meeting to discuss “professionalism”… because I wore the same black jumper two days in a row. Meanwhile, someone else got away with yelling at interns.

What’s the most ridiculous thing you’ve seen someone be “talked to” about at work?

Love a good double standard. I was on PTO a few years ago and popped into the office to help a colleague resolve a quick issue before heading to the airport. I was there for all of 20 minutes, volunteering my PTO time to help out, and HR still thought it was necessary to send me an email reminding me of our dress code and telling me showing up in shorts was inappropriate 🙄

Really? I hate it when they focus in on the small things rather than the bigger picture like why does it need to be so petty?

I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 12. My family did not opt to put me on medication. I illegally discovered Adderall in college. Worked incredible. Got diagnosed after college & after having been fired from my first job. Passed the CPA exams on Adderall. Went off of it again. I do everything well at my job except for attention to detail within my excel files & emails. Will taking ADHD medication really fix this? Does anyone else have this issue and was it resolved by taking medication?

💲For those who DON'T think a six figure salary is possible:

👉Just ask for it. Really, you would be surprised. Might be easier to switch to a new company and ask. I did that 3 years into my career.

And 🛑 wasting your time at a company that under-values you severely. Sometimes switching companies every 2 years or so will allow you to keep raising the bar for yourself.
