I resigned from a toxic job environment!!My supervisor provided “feedback” on my performance with no evidence or actions provided. She judged my form of communication & choice of words. I’m experiencing a whirlwind of emotions. I’m devastated, overwhelmed and yet happy to leave. Now I’m searching for a job. I have an MBA with 7+ years of strategic program/project management & I’m lean six sigma green belt certified. In need of advice in my search below. 💫

Congratulations!

As POC and especially WOC we have to think about Code Switching, I do not personally exercise but I am keenly aware of it so I do understand the struggle. Rather than code-switching to survive and persevere, I keep a sticky note taped to one of my monitors to remind myself to "Stay on Brand". That by far was the most helpful feedback a manager offered me. "She loved and admired my courage but she was concerned about my brand within the organization amongst the leaders."

You are your brand and only you can represent and advocate yourself. Manage your brand.

Program | Project Managers are not always the most liked...however you do need that likability and definitely command respect. It is critical to make those tweaks so that individuals will drive towards quality execution and be accountable.

For any of you who have worked in Big Law, if/how did you realize it wasn’t for you as a female WOC and how did you handle it?

I want to stick it out but afraid of the anxiety and stress it’s causing for possibly nothing if I can’t make partner track.

Hello everyone, I’m new to the group. Are any of you in the governmental affairs field? I’m looking to leave the public sector.

Is it bad to give less than 2 weeks notice before a last day? Our manual says "at least 2 weeks" but I booked a ticket to travel for a family event leaving on June 10th and my goal was to have another job by then so I could permanently move, too. In order for me to give 2 weeks I have to let them know by May 26th but if I don't hear back from a job by then...I'd either have to give less than 2 weeks notice or book a ticket to come back just to give 2 weeks and then would fly back.
