I sometimes wonder if I’m simply a hard worker and nice person, so my CD gives me a lotta “atta boys” to keep me engaged and working hard.

I got promoted last year but been feeling a lot of imposter syndrome lately

My firm’s holiday party is on a weekday after work. I can just wear what I’d normally wear to work for that day, right?

My MD sneaked up on me so quietly just now that I jumped out of my chair when he dropped off comments :/

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing. She’s made 5 other associates cry during her 5 year career. Got someone fired and made another person quit. It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.

Team is already talking about eating hours. My utilization is down cause I was in unassigned for a month in Dec/Jan. What's worse pissing off the partner or having a low utilization? -staff 1

I accepted a position and i don’t start until December 7th. I’m the only accountant on the team at my current company (small company). Would you tell them now or wait until two weeks before you start at new job?

Seeking advice on how to react when a colleague asks how much you make. I don’t want to disclose what I make given the person asking definitely makes less and it will cause drama

I need help.
I recently joined a small-sized product based company.I have not been able to get along with my manager. He does not give me full information on assigned tasks and expects me to follow his order to the letter like in a military. When I ask him doubts he either scolds me or laughs at me like I am dumb. Because of this i am literally scared to talk to him. I am almost depressed because of this. I don't know if it is my fault and if mine how to improve myself.I am very sad bcoz of this

Do you guys give your boss's New Years' gifts? I'm thinking of doing one since I didn't give a holiday gift but thought it maybe weird

Ways to overcome fear of public speaking? At times I stutter when I introduce myself and am sick of it

Just came back today to the office from a 3 day bereavement leave. Performance reviews were apparently done Tuesday. Senior partner who does the reviews left out of town Wednesday. Concerning?

Why does my team lead act like a school teacher.
He wants hourly updates.

He keeps pinging all the time whatz the update?
And doesn't let me work.

Any suggestions on how to deal with this?

What are your tips on convincing a fellow employee not to switch agencies? I really don't want to compete with them

Anyone have experience with cold emailing CDs looking for freelance? My network hasn’t been coming through lately. Is it an annoyance, or could it be worthwhile?

Hello people, need a suggestion, i am working on devops since a few months, and i have been given a task, the deadline of which is tomorrow eod, and i have not been able to do anything significant since the last 2 days 🥺. We r a team of only 3 ppl and no senior is helping me out. My lead will surely scold me Tommorow 😕 What to do? How to handle situations like this? Can they terminate me if i get in such situations again?

I’m a firm believer that a manager should develop a positive relationship with employees, but I don’t want that to be an invitation to disrespect my authority. How do you know where to draw the line to make this distinction clear?

If an employee files a complaint about workplace behavior, do you treat them differently? I'm faced with reporting an SM for bullying and finding it near imposible to believe that it won't (cont'd)

Doing those mid year peer/self review kills all time that would be better spent pretending to help my clients

What’s the best way to deal with a partner that prefers working solo? For context, this writer I work with conceptualizes by himself, emails the Account team, gives deep input, and makes decisions for us without consulting with me (his “partner”) most of the time. While I appreciate his proactiveness, I feel excluded, limited, and without much room to co-lead the work with him. I don’t know how to bring this up without sounding like I’m b*tching about it.

PEOPLE DO MAKE MISTAKES!! but My manager reacts very rudely everytime with me, And all seniors who are with him around 10+ years will assign tickets to me and they monitor me continuously.

I never had any conflicts with anyone, but i felt that they all connered me. I had a call with my director and senior director and explained about this on my last day

i never met my teammates in office since i joined and resigned in covid.
Did this happen coz i dint have much rappo with them?

Hey Folks, can anyone please tell me how long does it take for HR to get back to you for offer discussion after you have submitted all the required documents.

Thank you to all those that are joining! Hoping to create a space where we can all give practical advice and discuss working as legal professionals in the public accounting field!

Just was invited to a second round interview (yay! 🎉) how do I find former employees on linked in so I can learn more about the company?

When do you think your offices will start expecting you to go back in? And do you think there will be some change in the FaceTime requirement? Or do you think things will go back to normal in terms of being expected to be in every day?

What anime is everyone watching in this new winter 2020 season? I'm liking darwins game quite a bit so far. Pet looks decent too

What’s that one song you can’t get out of your head right now?

Hi,
I am a 22 year old undergrad. I plan to take an extra semester or two to achieve the BioTech certification at my uni. I currently study Neuroscience with a concentration in biochemistry. For those that work at biotech co, pharma co, as lab techs, research, even chemist teachers and profs: What can I do to make myself more competitive for these types of professions? (it can be specific to your career experience) I enjoy learning about medicinal biochemistry and chem in general, if that helps

Hello Fishes,

I'm working as a Major Incident Manager(ITIL) and thinking to change my path to BA, so do we have anyone who has the similar experience or can anyone suggest how this transaction would be.

Democrat outrage baiting thing is getting really tired and old. I don’t think I will ever vote D again.

Moving to San Diego from Santa Barbara. Looking to be relatively central so I can meet people, go out for drinks or other fun active activities (I'm a runner) What are your thoughts on the vibes in Banker's Hill vs. Point Loma (liberty station) vs Little Italy vs North Park? Is there somewhere else I should be considering?

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.

For EESP - which is better share withholding or payroll withholding? Thoughts?

Went in to check compare sizes for an Aqua Terra (green dial) but now torn between that and Moonwatch Sapphire (manual wind but the case in the back is just 😍)

Surprisingly the Moonwatch felt smaller (even though it’s 42mm vs 41mm Aqua terra) but I’m not sure about the manual wind tbh - worried I’d break it

This is going to be my main watch for the next 20+ years so I want to make sure I pick correctly!

What would you pick and why?

I went on a date last week and it went really well. We basically set up 2nd & 3rd dates that night. 2nd date's Friday for drinks and 3rd date is drag brunch. Date had to end pretty early bc she's in the med field and needs to wake up around 5am. I'm new to dating people my own gender and I want to make moves but I'm nervous/hesitant since I'm new to this. There was light touching, leaning in, eye contact, but I want to do more. Anything I should do on the 2nd date? How to initiate?

Hi Fellow Moms/Wives!❤️
Very taboo question.

Anyone else have a hubby with a very low sex drive? I initiate most of the time and it really makes me feel neglected. I have talked to him about it but I think we just have different views on how to feel connected? I think once every 2 weeks is harsh. I prefer 3x-4x a week but he says that is a lot. Am I crazy to expect of this?

Men - do you try to get out of an argument/fight by pretending like nothing happened? Why so?

There is someone in senior leadership who consistently has a target on someone’s back. They pressure their reports and team members to complain to HR about said target until action is taken. Cont’d

It makes me intensely uncomfortable when I hear people who should know better misusing the word “myself.” As in “please cc Kate and myself on your email.”

Sometimes I don't uphold the company mission 😱

Wow hate the overuse of “from a ______ perspective"

I don’t get paid to write advertising. I get paid to sit through meetings like these. Kill me.

I like to think of myself as calm but really I’m just dead inside.

Getting sober has made me realize how bad my boss really is.

Since disconnecting with past stories my reality has drastically bent. My stories programmed my reality, attracting what I told myself I was/wasn't.

It's freezing tonight bitter cold. I just ordered Chinese and I'm not sure if that was a shitty thing to do. I think they need to make money so if no one calls that wouldn't be good. I did tip well

I didn’t make dalgona coffee when it was a trend earlier in quarantine and I’m not sure if I missed out on anything...

Turned down a gig at Apple two years ago because I saw a lot of growth opportunities at my current company and saw the position as a step back (even though it was more money) and have regretted it ever since. Still in the same exact position at the same company I was then btw. Bad choice.

What’s the best/most effective message you’ve gotten from a stranger wanting to network on LinkedIn? The worst?

Parents - do any of you truly regret having kids?

Who has made the leap from working/living in the US to abroad? Any words of advice?

On vacation and hallucinating the Slack ping sound anytime it gets quiet.

I think I have ADHD. I’m middle-aged. This has never been a problem for me before, but I’ve taken several screening tests and I’m scoring really high. What do I do?

We just hired and ACD that was a Jr. at my previous job when I was a Sr. Its been only 3yrs, they havent been at sr. for more than year. Staring at my bills like do I really need to pay them.

I’m about to switch jobs to my company’s main competitor and move to a new city and I’m so anxious and worried I’m making the wrong choice, anyone else ever get cold feet after signing an offer?
