If you have a conversation with your management and you express your not happy because of pay. Can HR force you to give a date to leave?

How weird is it for a woman to go out to a bar or restaurant alone, enjoy her meal, people watch, maybe strike up a conversation or 2, and go home ? I feel like it’s weird now days for someone to be out without company and not be staring down at their phone.

How do you handle it when a direct report reacts negatively during a performance review?

Hello folks, what’s the dresscode in strategy consulting (Big4) when you are at the customers vs in the office? Joining in a few weeks and unsure whether I need to buy more fancy clothes…

Anyone else completely give up on a dress code in office? See some teams come in straight casual. My mini rebellion is wearing sneakers instead of regular dress shoes

Could I pull off asking my manager from J1 for approval of freelancing on the side? It’s quite common anyway for designers I think. And then my j2 can be “freelance” even though it’s full time?

I want to thank my manager (she/her) as eoy nears - any holiday gift reco that might not seem overboard but still shows gratitude?

Hi everyone. I was wondering what most people wear to their virtual interviews. I would assume business professional, but I wanted to see what others thought.

I feel like I am so inexperienced in my job that everything takes so long to complete and get used to. Hence, I constantly feel guilty that I am spending a lot of time on my tasks and I am not adding enough value especially given the cost that clients pay for our time. I also fear that most of my time will get written off at the end of the day by the matter managers. Is this feeling normal and does it go away?

Does anyone else have team members across the country who notice your “valley girl” voice/accent?

I didn’t really know it was that noticeable until I started this remote job 😂

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?

How some people are clearing interview and then getting into a project even though they don't have any skills, no desire to learn new things, can't perform a very very simple task even though it's already documented clearly, totally burden on team members. They don't even try to do basic troubleshooting when they faced simple issues, rather asks stupid question to junior who is having only 1 years of experience and ask for solution.
I noticed this in every project I joined

Do we have to wear formals in Airbus ?

Hi all. Today is one of those days where I am just really tired of proving myself. I'm a woman POC and the only brown person at my small firm. Owners are subtly racist and the men often treat me like their assistant. I also make a lot less than the male junior even though I have more YOE than him. Days like this really make me want to stop being a lawyer. I don't think I will ever find a firm where I am not treated this way.

Do any of you have experience with pushy coworkers? The kind who won't let you do anything without them "helping" even after you say "I've got this"? I can handle stocking the shelves by myself. So frustrating

How do you like to get feedback from your cd? Is it helpful if they riff off a couple headlines as examples or would you rather just hear the feedback on yours?

Whenever a certain partner talks to me I feel like he’s trying to teach me quantum mechanics. Meanwhile I don’t even know algebra. He always encourages questions, but I I only kinda follow the concepts theoretically and can’t even formulate a coherent question. I appreciate his efforts, but all I can do is smile and nod. I’m a first year. Do I just keep smiling and nodding hoping it’ll make sense some day?

How do you tell your mentor that his manager- who you know is his best friend - hates you?

What’s the consensus on dress code for a virtual interview? Is a suit too formal? Maybe no tie?

Hello everyone,
Nice to meet you all. It seems like a great platforms to talk lot of unsaid rules of corporate world.
There is one think I was always wondering. While someone is leaving a company to other, why is it that it should be in such a secretive way. Why should we inform our colleagues officially on the last day of working? Won't it be good to inform in a week advance and leave with a proper goodbye from everyone? Or why shouldn't we inform on the day our resignation is accepted?

Hey All - Can we agree to make a collective effort to reduce the repeat content here? Things are moving quickly and we don’t always have time to check, but having 2-4x of the same link/tweet/topic splits any convo and exhausts interest in engaging multiple topics bc new ones are hard to find.

I have cleared all rounds and already submitted documents and HR discussion happened..
But today I got mail saying that 'You are invited to apply for Senior Consultant position and asking me to fill application form.
What does this mean? Will I haveve attend interview again? Or is it auto generated mail?

need advice.

I have been working in an interim role as a portfolio manager. I was promised that the role would be mine. However, after doing the job for 2 months, I have been advised that we might not get the funding for the role and I might not get the raise and the title but my responsibilities will be the same.

Its a political minefield.

How should I back out elegantly that I need to be compensated fairly and competitively from this mess without burning any bridges

Hi, Am a senior consultant 2 with 7 years of experience in consulting. My CTC is 16.5 with 10 percent fixed. Am I below par?

I submitted my resignation from my firm, for personal reasons, and HR asked if I was going to another employer and if so when I would be starting. Am I legally obligated to let them know?

Does EY Australia has a firm Christmas shutdown? Any leave liability related stuff?

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer. Previously interned there & left because my supervisor did not have any growth opportunities planned out for me; this was in spite of my stellar performance, as reflected in my 90 day review. She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?

Are there any companies on here looking for a new and exciting way to find top talent? This candidate market is crazy, right!!?

Just wondering if a gap in employment due to career break as a full time parent can be an impediment in re-entering the workforce ? I’ve never had an issue lining up interviews and it’s been hard these last couple of days trying to find the same position I worked in. Really appreciate any thoughts or advice my fellow HR professionals can provide.

My life's first interview after graduation in HR is for the Recruiter post in " Concentrix". I am a bit nervous because I don't wanna miss this opportunity so please my fellow seniors give me some tips and advice for my first interview. I will really appreciate that. Thank you

I have two questions. I have 10 years of experience in multiple sectors and I have been trying to gain a leadership position. I am attempting my PHR this summer but what are some tips in order for me to obtain a leadership position? Also, how long does it take to obtain another position out of state? I am trying to move to Houston but I don’t want to move until I am confident I can obtain a position in the city before packing up and leaving.

Recently, our client has decided to retract their job offer to a newly hired candidate who is currently rendering his notice period and is already on his last day with his current employer. This is because they have changes internally that have affected the new hiring. I really feel frustrated, guilty, and awful for the candidate. We are already down to the final steps of the onboarding process and should have been his first day next week. (Cont.)

Is it worth it to get a professional certification like SHRM/PHR? Not many of my colleagues have one and it’s not a requirement for my role, but I’m curious if it’s worth it in the long run

Any recommendations for online diversity and inclusion training program? With our without a certificate attached.

Does PHR certification help in India, as this is globally recognised how much valuable is this currently in indian job market.

Do we got some good offers or its another certificate just to add to CV after so much of investment & time I don't want to get this wasted !!

Need suggestions ??

Thinking about switching to learning and development or recruiting. Anyone have some strong opinions either way? How would I get started. Feel like I’m late in career path to get a start on either.

I was recently rejected for a position I was highly interested in and they rejected me based on my lack of experience with working for a bigger company. Otherwise, I know I was qualified. They have about 700 employees and I currently work with about 100 employees. How can I prepare for my future interviews where I can show that I can successfully transition and handle more employees as an HR Generalist? I’m super bummed about this rejection but I know I need to continue applying…. ☹️

Interested to see some perspectives - currently working at a Payroll & Benefits Specialist at a fast growing company and recently passed my PHR! I just started this role only a few months ago but am already feeling like I can take on more, but not as much as a HR manager. I’m struggling to understand where exactly it is I can go from here. I’m 25, have 3 years of experience, and get paid $59k/year.

Where does one go from here? Thanks in advance for any and all answers!

Transition to HRBP - which Cert? I’ve got the time and experience (mostly) to sit for the PHR or SHRM-CP. What are your recommendations based on industry experience. Also note I’m pivoting from a program director role.

I’m a Recruiter looking to pivot into a Generalist role. I have 6 years of experience in HR started as a Hr Associate and then the rest strictly in recruitment. Any advice for remote generalist work out there?

Hi is anyone willing to explain to me what HR Strategy entails for an associate? Are hours long? Work stressful? How’re the exit ops?
