I’ll be asking my last job for a letter of recommendation but I’m not sure who to ask. My boss, who is lovely and would write an amazing LOR. Or my boss's boss who would put minimal effort in but it would have more weight.

My secretary gets upset/anxious whenever I ask her to file a thing that she doesn’t know how to do or takes time to do... I’m afraid of making her upset, but also think that’s her job ...

How can I not be awkward at conferences where all my remote coworkers that I've never met will be there? I have an issue with awkward silence and not knowing what to say or how to act.

Has anyone ever been a victim to a team member’s jealousy? I have this person on my team who tears apart my work in front of all the creative directors. It makes me look bad.. I can’t help but take her comments personally. I can’t help but think there’s some jealousy- she has so much energy to rip someone apart. Everyone else complements my work but I’m afraid to mess up and have her call me out in front of the directors. I feel like the whole time I’m just playing defense. What do I do?

Lateral associate question: when submitting my conflicts questionnaire to clear conflicts, do I need my firm’s prior approval of the disclosures I’m making? I’m not sure how this works…

Just discovering RSD after being diagnosed as an adult. I feel like SO MUCH of my life has been impacted by this and I just never had a name for it. At work if someone gives me negative or constructive feedback it can feel like a punch in the chest even if I know it's not personal. Makes romantic relationships so hard too. What do you do to handle it especially at work?

2nd year here: just got reamed multiple times by a partner in a checklist call for not having enough detail in my open items list. Thing is the draft i had sent the midlevel was far more detailed, they told me to remove it all and make it as barebones as possible. Do I just take this L? I'm pretty annoyed because the partner mentioned it TWICE in the call with clients for my lack of detail.

Midlevel didnt apologize or even acknowledge this issue. I've never been so mad in my career.

Some partners are so stupid. In a free market system, if you want the good associate to work for you, you need to be a nice person. Otherwise, I have enough partners to feed me work and you’re the source of your own problem.

I'm dealing with some toxic masculinity at work from someone that works on my team. Does anyone have advice on constructive ways to address this type of behavior?

It's starting to get hard to show up to my job and give 110% when I know that I'm not being paid what I'm worth, and have to work extra hours at a side job to make ends meet. How would you start a conversation with your boss about this? Mine is very kind and I think would be understanding, but this is new territory for me

You’re given a brief for an OOO campaign. Could be cool. How many days are you given before you have to show concepts to the ECD? And to the client? Curious about time expectations at different places.

Is two weeks an appropriate notice to give? For context, I have a pretty understaffed legal team.

How you INTRODUCE YOURSELF is one if the most direct, explicit ways that we can reinforce our personal brand. QUESTION: How do you introduce yourself and what do you say FIRST?

Fish- how do you deal with negotiating with a non-lawyer? I'm finding my client's customers gate keep access to their attorneys and as a result I often find myself negotiating with someone who....how do I put this nicely.....doesn't understand basic contracting or legal principles. What's a nice way of saying "hey it's clear you don't know what you're doing, can you please get your lawyer involved?"

I have a manager that does not seem to understand mental illnesses, disorders, etc. He thinks I am making excuses rather than trying to explain things (I have diagnosed ADHD, anxiety, and depression) and I’m trying to take ownership for issues but also help him understand what I am describing better as well. We are sitting down for a conversation later this week. Any advice on how to gently educate or help with his understanding of neurodivergence and other mental health considerations?

I need to talk with a teacher about inappropriate behavior some parents are complaining that she has in the classroom. How do I approach this without accusing her or making her feel ambushed?

I have a new manager working with me who is surprisingly not great at the role. We’re in industry and she’s worked at the company for a long time but in a different capacity. (Cont)

Not 100% sure if it has to do with race of if my supervising partner has trust issues, but I am tired of being told to draft correspondence and having the whole document changed by my supervising partner. I know I’m an excellent writer and I have others read the documents and they confirm that it’s well written but when I submit it my boss—she strips my voice. I don’t know at this point why put in any effort

Anyone have recommendations on briefcases? Looking to replace my backpack, really only carry my laptop, charger, mouse and not much else.

How big of a red flag is it that a company doesn’t have a marketing strategy/plan in place? I’ve been asking for this from my director but alway get some type of an excuse so I’m starting to believe there isn’t one. We are a company with over 200+ employees and 4+ locations

I am an hourly employee. Currently if there is a hospital call that needs to be done, someone will volunteer to do it for overtime. Now, my company wants to create a set call schedule. If we get a call at 5pm, when my shift ends, can I still be required to complete the call? I will be paid overtime but don’t like the fact they will force it upon us.

Hi, I’m looking for a career change and I’m interested in Sales development roles in the IT sector. Due to a lack of network, it seems very difficult for me to target jobs as per my choice and to get a skill set that companies look for. Feel free to respond to this thinking.

. Salary discrepancy is a big issue.
As per their own market policy the package of a team lead or a consultant should be around 13 lpa excluding variable. But maximum employees are getting 2/3 of that.
Cant wait to quit and move on to some other company.
Work life balance is becoming a myth now!
And every year they layoff in one or other dept in the name of reorg.
People in MIS got upto 50-60% hike. And some people are working below the pay range.

I am currently working in PwC US Advisory as a management consultant. I recently got a call from an Ed-tech startup - School for Manager - Strategy/Operational Excellence role. Though its a Unicorn and role looks decent, I am concerned about two things 1. Ed-tech bubble 2. Switching options after this

Should I go ahead with this opportunity?

Suggestions for a team-wide task system? The main partner I work for wants me to create and continuously update an internal list of tasks/timeline/important deadlines for every litigation we’re working on. So far I’ve been just updating a Word Doc and sending it to the team every day or two but it’s not very convenient since I don’t know what new tasks the rest of the team is working on. (We use Gmail rather than Outlook if that makes a difference.) Has anyone used Monday software for this?

Downtime during Project Lifecycles.

We all know that when projects are planned and resourced properly/efficiently, the team knows exactly what they’re doing and the clients don’t scope creep, there will be periods of downtime for PMs. This is usually a good thing because that means a project is moving smoothly.

Also a bad thing because most of us PMs can’t sit still because we’re doers by nature. During these periods, how do you typically fill up your day to keep busy?

I understand the importance of citations. It's a wonderful way to show how your work builds on previous research. But sometimes I just want to write an article that says "I think this" without having to cite everyone who ever said that before me.
