I really don’t understand “leaders” that don’t take care of their team. In this environment where jobs are plentiful and a team can make or break your agency why treat your team like

I need some advice on how to deal with a lot of big egos. I’m on a new business pitch and have several c-suite team members who are condescending and are taking credit for my work. (Cont’d)

One thing I like about my firm is that, if your intern sucks? You can just say they suck and they’ll get pulled off your job so you can focus on being efficient. I put considerable effort into 1: he’s never available, never finishes anything, never takes notes, doesn’t follow through on communication ever, zero initiative, and refuses to talk to anyone except 1 staff associate even when specifically directed otherwise. I can’t push pull or drag him if I tried (and I did). I don’t feel bad.

How do you deal with your “mentor” being threatened by your performance and gatekeeping information from you? Then turning around and giving you shit for not knowing things… but they don’t tell you anything and there is no way for you to know. My learning and development is being hindered and I’ve felt this for a long time, but coworker just confirmed this is the case. Now that I know I’m not “crazy” for thinking this, how should I approach this?

in office have you seen any girl wear nosepin?

So today my client manager came to know about my resignation, one month before NP ends

She said - hope it's a good move good luck

Is she being sarcastic ?

I have several job offers I am considering. My dilemma is when I put my resignation in for my current employer should I tell them why I’m leaving? (Toxic environment passive aggressive behavior from superiors
And staff that habitually didn’t do their job thoroughly and I was prohibited from writing them up?) thoughts?

Put my 2 weeks in Monday 🥳 but I feel like my team is wanting me to complete a lot of stuff before I leave?? like new items on top of wrapping up/transitioning… tbh I wouldn’t care but I really like my coworker that they’re unfortunately going to pile a lot of my stuff onto when I leave - how do you balance helping but also being so unmotivated knowing you’re leaving? I want to end on a good note and not screw people over but also think it’s a literally ridiculous what they’re asking me to do

Currently at MBB. Interested in moving to PE. I have a call coming up with an MD at a UMM/MF — we have a weak connection. How would you approach this call to help my chances for the specific firm? What are some questions to ask?

Maybe best to save the call for later when I know more about the firm?

For anyone who left a toxic work environment what do you tell your interviewers without bashing your old firm?

Just got asked off an account for defending the work too much. I’ve never felt prouder of myself. May the bridges I burn light my way.

You can use this bowl to chat with other team members

Question about appearance - I think I already know the answer, but I have fairly long hair (male) at the moment and am about to be interviewing for entry level roles. Is it a bad look even if I’m well groomed and dressed? Really debating whether I should chop it off until I land my first job.

I live in a mid-size market. The community is not super diverse, but has been attracting more young people of color in recent years. Still, I’m one of two attorneys of color in my 120-attorney office. I’m really unhappy with the overall culture at my firm and I experience a lot of blatant sexism and covert racism. (Continued)

So embarrassed. I literally had one job to do today which was to schedule a client and give and take her paperwork when she came in. Totally called her by the wrong name today AND gave her the wrong paperwork. She was really nice about it but I feel like my boss was disappointed and I'm disappointed in myself. I don't want her to think I won't be able to keep clients straight when I start doing supervised sessions.

Is there any not very expensive black tie gown shops near Toronto downtown? New to the city and office party has black tie dress code!

As a fresher have you ever been on the receiving end of office politics/indirect negative comments from your seniors. If so, how did you deal with it?

I have quite a few interviews scheduled, but just found out today that my spouse was layed off. I don’t think I should leave a solid role at a company I have tenure at in this economy with my spouse out of work…how should I tell the people I was interviewing with?

We’ve been hammered with random expenses this past year so our savings is not ~the best~ and I’m sure they will find a new role quick but…idk

Firings in current scenario shows it's important to have partner who earns almost same as you so that lifestyle can be maintained after one of them is fired.
Unfortunately in India, a guy earns3-4 times than his wife,
So if the guy is hired.. It causes whole lot lifestyle problems

My organization absorbed another and the former deputy PM became a branch head - a demotion. For org was more focused on tech dev and not delivering a product on a sked. New org is very focused on that. He is not a driving leader, but is the only one with the tech knowledge needed. He is retirement eligible. He has no heir apparent - previous org didn’t plan that way. If I move him under someone who is a driver - he retires and I lose the knowledge. If I don’t, we may not meet schedules. Advice?

PM is the first to be blamed (when things aren’t going well) and the last to be thanked in good times (if you even get thanked/recognized). Anyone else frustrated with this?

As qlik developer what should be salary after 5.8 year of experience?

Hi all- I’m male in mid 30s, married. Not sure if this is the right place to post but I just can’t have sex without a condom. I’m uncircumcised and my foreskin is too sensitive when touched. How can I try having kids in this situation?

I remember the first time I held a gun in firing practice when I was a recruit. Like it was yesterday. Does anyone else have a super vivid memory like this?

Hi folks! I'm curious, when are you going to start in-person qual again (if you haven't already)? And has completing all qual online during the pandemic changed the way you will implement in-person qual in the future?

Any folks here work in diversity? Any leads on how to break in?

Is a “ 401(k) profit share plan “ beneficial to me?

FDD folks: What was your biggest dumpster fire of a deal? Seems like things can go very wrong whilst moving at deal speed.

We just met a wonderful kitten while camping in East Idaho. We’re flying back to Bay Area tonight and thinking if we should leave him here or drop him off at a local shelter or take him with us and find him home in the Bay. What should we do?
(My gf and I already have 3 cats between us and so we won’t be able to adopt this one unfortunately)

What is your engineering field and how do you see it changing over the next 5 years?

Hi, first time scrum master. How do you guys conduct your stand up? The client has me sharing my screen to show the jira board and give their updates that don't relate to the tickets. Plz help fix

Is it a good choice to join a startup as a BA from an MNC. I have 3.5 years of experience.

Can anyone recommend good investment options in Bank of America HSA account? I feel their funds are very limited compared to what I have seen from 401k and IRA. Anyone recommends your HSA account?

Anyone joining PwC AC Banglore on 6th September?

Does haddows road Standard Chartered Standard chartered gbs have cab service?

When it’s still not 9 am but I’m looking at the train schedule to see what time I can leave the soonest...

I hate that most of people here have employee mentalities and not investor/ entrepreneur mentalities. If I see another “I’m going to lose my job, and I’m so depressed “ I’ll lose it...

Usually, I hate everyone. But, every now and then, someone comes along that I only mildly dislike. These are the people I keep around.

I hid all my ex's SmartWool socks when I kicked him out 3 years ago. They're still what gets me though the winter

Sometimes I wipe up someone else's pee on the work toilet seat because I don't want the next person to think it was me.

I hate when people give themselves an OCD diagnosis, or say things like “I’m so OCD sometimes”. It is an actual struggle living with it. Organizing books by color does not make you OCD. think>speak

I want to leave consulting but worried if I’ll fail in industry with this jack of all masters I earned in consulting. But also worried if I don’t leave now, I’ll be stuck forever. *sips whiskey *

What do higher ups get paid to do? I think they’re just one more person that needs to be updated, relies on you to do all the work and very infrequently solves problems or sets vision. Yes i filled out my TPS report this Monday..

LADIES. If you think it’s necessary to SQUAT over the toilet at work, PLEASE for the love of god don’t leave your pee all over the damn seat.

I’m presenting to a client I hate right before an interview at my dream agency and I can barely contain myself.

I was the epitome of a creative today and I feel 0% bad about it

I hate when we refer to our places of work as “shops"

Apparently my boss still thinks niche car ads from the 70’s are still relevant. Help.

My life would be so much easier if my mother-in-law would leave me the F alone during the work week. Sometimes I delete her emails and tell her I never got them...

I judge people so hard when I see those signs with horrible type in their homes that say stuff like “wine gives mommy magic powers”. Not only do they look horrible, they’re never very funny insights

You can’t burnout if there’s nothing else left to burn. LIFe IS greaaat, isn’t IT?!

I never grew up saying “I want to be an associate creative director” how’d I get here? We live our lives in this limbo. Not sure what else to say about that...hell it’s definitely better than Sr. AD/Copy..kinda 🙃

I haven’t been flossing properly lately
