I’m a staff 2. About to be senior and want to relocate cities... how does one bring this up to their manager/counselor without possibly upsetting them.

It’s not that difficult if your team has openings in the city where you want to relocate to! Start by speaking to your counselor

like

Why do you want to relocate cities? If it’s to be closer to family then let your counselor you want to move to be closer to family. I moved after my staff 1 year to another city where my girlfriend was attending medical school. I told my counselor and they moved me a few months later

Just never wanted to stay in my hometown/current location long term. No specific reason or tie to another location.

Start with someone else you know who’s relocated and ask them, then speak to your counselor about it privately. If you’re staying within your group it shouldn’t be that difficult of a move as long as you’re a decent employee

Hi community, humbly seeking professional HR advice. I recently joined my company’s HR team. In an informal conversation, a senior HRBP, considered a peer, called 2 of our fellow HR colleagues “worthless.” I should have rebuked her then & there but was so caught off guard. This person is 20 years my senior. In the same conversation this person advocated for me on a separate matter & complimented my performance. I am not sure what course of action to take at this time. Distraught & unsure.

What advice will you give to yourself when you were a newbie in the professional life? Give the context too.
I’ll go first- I’ll tell myself to not overshare, especially to the manager. People will generally make an image of you and judge you on basis of that even if you have changed a lot.

I’m married, and one of my coworkers flirts with me. Nothing super overt, but definitely not professional. We’re good friends and work together constantly because we’re on the same client, so I don’t want to make it awkward. Do I just do nothing and let it go? It is mostly just odd I’m not super offended, but I’m also clearly uninterested!

How do you deal with unresponsive summers? I’m a junior and overseeing my first project with summers (5 in total). Two are unresponsive and do not acknowledge my emails. Do I need to make it clear that I expect acknowledgement when I assign work? The other three don’t have a problem with this, so I’m not sure what it is.

Got braids. You'd think I literally got a face transplant from how shook my coworkers are. I would say over 10 people have stopped me to ask about them or comment on them and I've been at work for maybe 2 1/2 hours. It's all been positive, but am I wrong for still finding it annoying? They don't lose their minds when Sarah gets bangs or whatever so I wish they could keep that same energy.
