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?

Bring your [fill the blank] to work. Best and worst results of this at your office? My coworker brought a flying squirrel when we introduced a dog policy.

I’m working exclusively with a Manager and Director (as an associate) on an project and feel like I’m getting no help from either. It’s been very difficult to ask questions since they are both cont.

Wearing my hair in an Afro to a video interview. My hair curls tightly so it will be medium sized. Not willing to wear a wig or straighten my hair. I will have on lipstick earrings nice jacket. But if my Afro is an issue, me being Black is likely to be an issue too. Agree?

I’ve slept with my boss and made out with him on multiple occasions. Not only does he have a girlfriend but my best friend is also in love with him. Never have a third class of wine folks

I’m current a second year associate at big 4 and so is my girlfriend (but diff firm). If she were to leave and accept a job at my client in an internal controls position, would I need to disclose this to my team? It sounds like ethically yes but on paper in the guidelines, it says as long as we’re not married we aren’t obligated to. Don’t live with her or have kids or anything. Just a long time girlfriend, and we’re both at the staff level

I’m kind of stuck what to do. The principal at my school is very intimidating, confrontational, and not pleasant to work for. I love teaching but feel like I have to walk on egg shells around him.

My boss in my creative agency threatened to fire me because I, a male, came into work with my nails painted. HR is having a very complicated day today as I found out I could take legal action if he does fire me since we don't have an established dress code that has any guidelines against male nail polish wearing.

Thoughts about using big headphones for interviews? My thinking is that it would improve the communications (partly because I could use a nice external mic), but detract from the professional look. Feedback is appreciated.

When I ask my manager for advice about how to do something, he usually just tells me I'll "figure it out yourself." But when it comes down to it, he doesn't help me at all by doing that—he just makes me feel like an idiot. And then when I do figure it out myself and bring the answer back to him, he won't even look at it! He'll just say something like "Oh yeah, thank you," and give me another assignment.

Is it ok to discriminate against people based on things out of their control or beyond their choice?

Starting in PE soon after working in sweatpants and tshirts for the past two years, any advice on where to get dripped up? Need to buy shirts, pants, accessories etc. And advice on colors on styles would be much appreciated as well

Hi fishes,

Any suggestions if it's possible to lodge harassment case outside of office against managers???

The company has this rule where we have to check customers' IDs if they are buying anything age-restricted (alcohol, etc.) I hate it because customers get super mad at me and one of them told me "if you think I'm too young then you're stupid and don't deserve to have a job." It's not my policy guys, it's the company. I tell people I would get fired if I didn't do this and they never believe me

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us. She starts work at 4:30am and leaves around 2:30pm, but she still expects us to stay until 6pm and work on the weekends! She gives us really long shifts and doesn't give us much time for breaks. And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?

How do you tackle ignorant managers and favoritism in the team ?

Honest question: why is is that most white people at work use the default yellow emojis for smiley faces, thumbs up etc, but many people of colour use the brown and black ones? I would totally understand if white were the default, but isn’t the yellow Simpsons color race neutral?

Stuck working with a client I cannot stand to the point that I've seriously considered looking for a new job. The work isn't that bad but the client is rude, patronizing, and often straight-up problematic. No one does anything about it since he takes up a ton of space and projects a lot of confidence. Just needed to vent I guess but any advice is definitely appreciated.

Does anyone else get so anxious from their job that at times they feel physically ill? The team I’m on is toxic and I constantly feel the pressure of my boss breathing down my neck. Starting to feel like I’m in over my head…

Yesterday my boss scheduled a meeting with me for something he needed help with. He was 15min late & took a phone call from his boss during…10min. This has become a habit. At one point I even stoped scheduling our 1:1’s because he misses them so often but he realized a couple months later & told me to start scheduling them again. I told him they aren’t necessary but he insisted. What do I do? It makes me feel less important/unappreciated. I rather not even schedule to meet. Advice?

What do you do when when someone at the top of your firm says something bigoted and you don’t call them out immediately?

A recruiter has come to me with staff positions in industry with heavy stock compensation (100k & 50k worth) and a salary that is just under my current big raise(within 2k). Is this normal at the staff level? Or would you be weary of these positions ?

Is anyone hearing chatter in banks/FIs about recessionary job cuts or hiring freezes yet?

Who here has any advice on how to get into marketing at age 40?

Any account management processes/docs that are worth sharing?

All AMs on my account are supposed to get planning training, our CS VP was replaced with a VP of Planning but they kept the CS SVP. They said this is part of an “industry trend”. Has anyone else experienced this? I’ve been on the CS side for a while and don’t know the first thing about planning… feeling a bit unnerving about the switch but also open to it if it will benefit my career. Thoughts?

Hello my fellow designers!!!
I recently started a job and I just realized they work from 9am to 6pm and I got a little bit disappointed because am used to work 9-5 🧐
Is 9-6 normal or am I too spoiled?

Do any bankers know of a place that you can pay to update your resume? (Specific to I-banking).

Short on time and would like to outsource this if possible! (Posting for my partner so ignore the title) Thanks!

Looking to see if there is interest in starting a small social group for coffee chats, activities (outdoor, indoor). Strictly social!

Looking to change firms, where to go from deloitte? Would prefer to stay in consulting.

Hi everyone

Is there any disadvantage if I get relieve on Friday compared to on Monday?

What I am thinking is I will be loss pay for sat and Sunday?

Actually my last is 27th
I asked for a week early relieving so thinking about this.

Thanks.

My company usually gives raises and end of the year bonuses at the same time right before Christmas as a thank you for your hard work. If it’s not as much as I want when is a good time to negotiate?

Do we get salary today ?

Hey everyone, I am based in Montreal and looking for a full time job in digital marketing, HR, communication. It will be my first job in Canada so I can be flexible. Thanks for your help and referral.

I have verbal offers from Amazon and Microsoft. Should I share this with a Google recruiter to speed up their recruitment process? My final round of Google interviews is tomorrow.

Legal friends: anyone know a good contract lawyer? I have an ongoing kitchen renovation and the designer I hired misled me with her experience and continues to make massive errors. While trying to buy her out of the contract, she is insistent that she will ‘per the contract’ shoot the finished space. Given the animosity and lack of execution on her side (I will have to work with a kitchen professional to complete the space) I’m trying to ascertain my path forward…TiA

Would love to know if anyone has any ERG/BRG resources that have worked for them!

Definitely took the wrong job. I was offered a seriously competitive salary and great benefits to work at a well funded startup, which is great! Turns out the salary and benefits were meant as lowkey bribes to insure I worked at the company without actually doing any work. Every single suggestion I've made has been shut down and I've been ghosted for several meetings with the CEO. What should I do? Just leave?

Feeling very frustrated right now…company talks a big game about DEI internally, while requiring new hires to move to Texas/Arizona, while the company’s PAC donates to politicians pushing extremist, regressive, anti-woman and anti-LGBT laws

They want to encourage us to “bring our whole self to work” while putting us in situations where we can’t be our whole self.

Anyone else in a similar place, feeling discouraged? Any tips?

Anyone looking for a head of people specifically and start ups or small businesses?

How do you deal with your “mentor” being threatened by your performance and gatekeeping information from you? Then turning around and giving you shit for not knowing things… but they don’t tell you anything and there is no way for you to know. My learning and development is being hindered and I’ve felt this for a long time, but coworker just confirmed this is the case. Now that I know I’m not “crazy” for thinking this, how should I approach this?

Hello!

I am being tapped to translate documents at work. I’ve done spot translation audits, and 1 larger Quality assurance document earlier this year, but was recently contacted about a potential large-scale translation initiative for next year.

Has anyone been compensated for these sorts of projects that would be “out of scope” for their role? How do you go about asking for compensation? Have any of you spun out and created translation service side-gigs?

I find myself in workshops and meetings, groups of 15-20 people, and I’m always the only woman. In my entire department, there are no other women. I’m getting to the point where I’m feeling defeated and burnt out. I’ve been working in male-dominated environments my entire career (over 10 years) and I’m losing motivation. Any tips or words of advice to get out of my mental rut?

Our team is about to recruit and we are trying to live our DEI values. Any tangible actions you can suggest to how we can widen our attractiveness to a more diverse candidates? Applies internally and externally. Thanks for any suggestions.

I'm in desperate need of tips to get genuine buy in from our predominantly white, male senior leadership to create a more inclusive environment. As is often the case, middle management and below is very diverse and then at Director+ it gets much more homogeneous. So far any real initiatives get shot down in favor of performative actions to post on SM. Is this just how it is, or can we try something different?

General question: Is there any room in corporate America for real, actionable DE&I discussions and initiatives? I've observed so many corporate versions become an advertising strategy (SM posts, diversity reports) without doing the actual work (increasing representation in senior leadership, salary analyses, having an effective reporting system for bias). Is this just how it is?

Hi - I am a career pivot from higher education into tech and have final round interviews for a DEI Coordinator role (which I'm super excited for). I am meeting with three people that I would be partnering with for the job and it was shared with me that these interviews will mainly be behavioral as well as questions on my technical skills. Does anyone have any resources to help me prepare for this? Anything is greatly appreciated!

If you’re a Gen Zer working in advertising or PR, what do you want to see from your agencies in terms of DE&I. Especially for Black History Month? Interested in getting a youth take.

Hi everyone! I’d love to hear your thoughts on EEO surveys during the job application process. Is it more beneficial to self-disclose or refrain from disclosing race, gender, disability, etc?

Which method is more likely to get your application noticed? Any guidance would be helpful on my job hunt. Thank you.

Hi, we just launched Diversity and inclusion committee at our work place and one of our many initiatives is to share some reminders /notifications about safety and inclusion in common employee platforms/portals e.g There’s no place or time when discrimination is acceptable. Please feel free to report to HR if you com across any discriminatory behavior. Anyone has any more similar ideas what other topics we can add?

What are some examples where you feel included at your organization?

How do you professionally address a noticeable lack of diversity on your team? More than 85% of my team is white or white passing, and of the remaining individuals none are Black, Indigenous, or AAPI.

Been for a company for over 2years. The executive team is very much a boy's club. There are a few women in management roles but zero ethnicity diversity there. I raised my concern to HR in feb. And they are just now deciding to do something about it. They want me (white female) to put together a diversity committee. Any suggestions on how to go about it? How to attract volunteers to the committee? I want to make sure I get the right people involved in this, to push for changes.

Does anyone have experience with starting a Business/Employee Resource Group? I would really like to start one for Middle Eastern and North Africans as my company does not have one. There are many discussions that could benefit others and opportunities for intersectionality here. TIA!

Does anyone have any metrics/ benchmarks they could share on diversity hires? We're putting goals together for 2023 and our senior leadership wants 30% of all candidates interviewed and hired to be gender or ethnic diverse.
