In my ideal work environment, I'd choose instrumental genres like jazz or ambient music to create a calming backdrop for productivity. How about you? What's your preferred musical companion for corporate tasks?

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

has anyone dealt with an unfair PIP at work before and survived?

My coworker always takes a super long lunch. How does he have the time to get anything done?

Name the most ridiculous micro-managing by partners that you experience.

I’ll go first: MP told me that on initial emails, I am always to start with “Hello [name],” but after the initial email, I am not to address her by name again in the same thread. Initial greeting can only be “Hello [name] ” because just first name is too brisk and a “Hi [name]” is too informal. Had a 5 minute, in depth conversation as to why she prefers it this way…

Discrimination question. I’ve been passed for several job opportunities in the last 4 years. Every single time the job is given to a male who’s older than me, despite my qualifications being more in line with the job. Is it worth it to make a discrimination claim? I already know HR won’t help me but should I contact an attorney?

My manager is extremely indecisive and doesn't give clear direction on how she wants work. Any thoughts on dealing with this?

I posted this somewhere else before I remembered that I am in this bowl :) so, I changed jobs 6-7 months ago and I am realizing it is not a good fit. Leadership seem to not want to hear the truth so people tell them what they want to hear and if you don’t middle management gets pissed at you. I am seriously thinking about looking somewhere else. My question is how do you answer the “why are you looking to leave” question without bad mouthing your current company?

Tell me honestly — do you gossip about other people with your colleagues? Aka. Talking sh!t about others? Who does it just so that you can create rapport with said colleagues?

Anyone know how to deal with a very cold and distant superior? I'm starting to feel a little ostracized and devalued by my manger.. Should this be something that I should be worrying about?

Just came back today to the office from a 3 day bereavement leave. Performance reviews were apparently done Tuesday. Senior partner who does the reviews left out of town Wednesday. Concerning?

My partner refuses to flatulate during waking hours around me. I feel this lack of intimacy is cause for alarm. I calmly mentioned my concerns and she doesn't feel comfortable speaking about the subject. Any suggestions?

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.

I want to attend grad school (public policy) starting Aug 2020. When would be the best time to tell my team? Once I’m accepted? Don’t want to give my 2 weeks to say I’ve known for 5 months

Is it unreasonable to request superiors to be mindful of their language? For example, I was on a call where someone meant to say “organized” but instead said their team member suffered from mental illness (OCD). Since this mental illness is invisible, it felt risky to say it not knowing who on the call might be affected. Thoughts?

How do you deal with imposter syndrome? I'm a new therapist and I work with a bunch of women who have been doing this for ages. They're all really sweet, but I can't help feeling like I'm way out of my league. I mostly see younger clients which I guess works in my favor, but I just feel like I'm totally incompetent compared to the women I work with.

What’s are some ways to market your new business in a pandemic?

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?
