I’m L&E in house. 10 yoe. Have a new manager 8 months. I’m in an awkward position where my manager has been targeting me the whole time. Snarky, unprovoked comments, questioning my objective legal analysis, accusing me of giving advice based on my “personal experience” just because I share certain characteristics or background in some instances, overall treating me like I am an idiot. I feel uncomfortable going to hr (my clients). Wondering if any of you had success with Hr in this situation.

It sounds like the manager is insecure and finds you to be some type of threat. Have you ever spoken directly to them in a one on one conversation? For me, I’d have the conversation first before taking it to the next level, which I would have no problem doing. I’ve had to do this a couple of times already in my career.

Hi HR Professionals! I am revising our current employment application form. Per SHRM, I was just curious if any HR Professionals completely removed the following fields: social security number, recommend salary, graduation dates, military discharge info, race, maiden name like (Ms. Mrs. Ms), & criminal history questions. I was just curious what other Employers/HR Professional have done. Any information is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I gave interview in Amazon and cleared all the rounds , then went on hold and still on hold due to hiring freeze in that departement. HR does respond and update me when reached out.

Interesting thing which happened here is iam cracking each every product based interviews now after my tough preparation for Amazon and getting higher packages than what Amazon would give. So whatever happens , happens for good. Cheers Amazon

Case load= malpractice? Small plaintiff’s firm of 25 attorneys. I was a 2 year associate hired and given 50 active files in pre litigation status. 9 mos later a partner quit and I inherited 45 more.

Is this what people consider negative work culture?
