Is being junior just constantly being wrong, being the last to know things, and reaching out to managers for guidance with no response (and annoyance when they do)? Paying your dues sucks

Ever work for a manipulative micro manager with a better than you attitude? How the heck did you deal?

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 feel like so much of the media discussion about people NOT going back to work is centered on POC. I have white coworkers just as frustrated. Is this just another example of how POC are having the authentic conversation no one else is willing to have?

I'm an analyst who is often spoken over in group huddles when a manager / MD / anyone higher than me speaks. Wasn't bothered at first, but it's been consistent over months. Is this a hierarchy thing or a remote work thing? This happens for both project work discussions and informal group coffee chats.

Advice needed: how do I tell my boss my team sucks? I switched jobs about 4 months ago and while I like my new clients and my manager, our team is the most unprofessional, unreliable, & incapable group of people I’ve ever worked with. They require constant micromanaging & there’s been times when I’ve had to do some of their tasks for them to avoid missing deadlines. I feel like I’m being set up for failure & clients aren’t very happy. How do I talk to my boss about this?

Put my 2 weeks in Monday 🥳 but I feel like my team is wanting me to complete a lot of stuff before I leave?? like new items on top of wrapping up/transitioning… tbh I wouldn’t care but I really like my coworker that they’re unfortunately going to pile a lot of my stuff onto when I leave - how do you balance helping but also being so unmotivated knowing you’re leaving? I want to end on a good note and not screw people over but also think it’s a literally ridiculous what they’re asking me to do

I have quite a few interviews scheduled, but just found out today that my spouse was layed off. I don’t think I should leave a solid role at a company I have tenure at in this economy with my spouse out of work…how should I tell the people I was interviewing with?

We’ve been hammered with random expenses this past year so our savings is not ~the best~ and I’m sure they will find a new role quick but…idk

When you tell your manager you are unhappy and they are excited that you are putting your notice and don't try and make any changes b/c the new person/persons they are lining up will just cleanup and make it better.

Then, they get here and you are left to train them on everything you do and your manager keeps saying "I owe you an apology" because they didn't realize how taxing and mind wrecking most processes you handled were... welcome to corporate

Starting a new job next week and when do I tell my coworkers that I have a newborn? Male asking.

How is it perceived to indulge in amr bil ma’aroof wa nahiyy anil munkar with colleagues but after work, eg a teetotaler is going to a bar because of peer pressure and you could encourage them not to?

What’s the consensus on tattoos in the insurance workplace? I’m in leadership and considering exploring my options due to recent personnel changes. I work remote and have arm sleeves, and any time I would be in-person I’d of course wear a long sleeve shirt to be professional, but worry about a cuff rolling up and tattoos being somewhat visible. Nothing is offensive by any means.

My boss the general manager is setting me up at work. She is saying all this stuff about me that is not true at all. But when I come into her shift or come into my shift after hers nothing is done for me. A lot of the prep is not done. And she complains about me not doing the prep. Stuff Is still dirty. One day she left the grill on. Etc. There was another manager there training to run another store and she said I basically do a lot of the work while she doesn't do much. So she stood up for me.

Hi everyone. I was wondering what most people wear to their virtual interviews. I would assume business professional, but I wanted to see what others thought.

“It’s not that I struggle with ambiguity, it’s more like you have no direction” is what I want to say to my client

Does anyone else feel really awkward asking the support staff to do something for you even though that’s their job? Especially when they’re older than you....

Did you ever had this feeling of not fitting in? People (including non-legal staff) in my team just ignore me. I know I made some mistakes, but resenting a trainee for that reason seems unfair. Just went to farewell drinks of an associate and only two persons out of 14 actively engaged conversation with me. With the rest I had this feeling of forcing everything and of being the awkward one. People were referring to funny stories on cases we’re working on and that I never heard about.

“Thank you” 2 word emails...why???? Just ping them a thank you. Everyone on the chain would appreciate one less email to sort through. Isn’t this basic common courtesy!? C’mon people!

The small firm I work for has a terrible turn over rate and I think it is in part due to the firm owner/managing attorney. He seems oblivious to this and always finds fault with the people who leave. Is there any good way to approach this with him or am I better off keeping my mouth shut? It’s affecting my work because I keep losing assistants and paralegals and then having to get new ones caught up.

I recently took a job with a top tier investment manager, which is a step up in title and responsibilities. I went through the typical “notice” conversations with my current employer. My boss, who was a significant supporter and mentor of me during my time at my current firm, told me that he doesn’t think my new firm is “long term” for me. Anyone ever get something like this before? It threw me off because I was hoping for his support, understanding that it’s tough for him temporarily

F GSB and that email. The lack of self awareness is mind blowing. 😂

I work as an AGM in a busy restaurant. Been working there for just over a year, and haven't had a single raise. I now only make 0.50 cents more than even the lowest paid shift lead but I am doing a lot more work. I'm no longer satisfied with these conditions. Should I try to negotiate a raise or look for other opportunities?

If I should negotiate, any tips?

California litigators, what methods have you come up with for easy compliance with CCP 2031.280(a)? It’s fine with a relatively contained document production and limited number of requests. But when there are thousands of responsive documents to dozens of overlapping RFPs, with some documents responsive to more than one request, it quickly turns into a huge pain in the ass.

What kind of salary should one expect as a new commercial real estate broker at one of the largest brokerages? Specifically, in the industrial brokerage space. First experience in the commercial brokerage industry with 2.5 years of prior post-grad work experience in supply chain/operations.

I’d like to ask: Have you experienced racism in your job and if you’re able and open to it, can you

1. Share your experience

Once again I must thank KPMG for allowing me the privilege to qualify for the third stimulus.

DC or Marvel?

COVID has made me realize I have no idea what I want to do with my life. My job has been increasingly frustrating, and the salary freezes/loss of benefits has made me resent what I’m doing even more. As a junior I’m not making crazy money and could probably pick up a nannying gig and make the same. Is it crazy for me to take some time to figure out my real goals and do something that doesn’t make me so miserable in the meantime?

What do you really do after becoming an adult and being okay with your job, relationships etc? Just seems like things are getting mundane. There's not that many new things I want to try, good with savings, have travelled, have hobbies. What else is there?

I live in a house with roommates and one roommate wakes me up every time she leaves for work simply because her door is loud. Any idea what home improvement solutions would make sense to block the noise?

I put some cushioned draft stoppers under the doors and that's helped a bit, but I'm looking for more. I'm not sure what exactly works best for low frequencies like doors closing. Some $12/12 pack foam acoustic panels look promising, as does a $100 sound damper curtain...

Now the CDC says teachers don’t need vaccine shots to reopen schools?

Is LA a good place to chill?

The Rona has me rewatching many classic movies. I am now remembering I had a HUGE crush on Audrey Hepburn. In fact, I still have a huge crush on her.

I also had a man-crush on Robert Mitchum.

Anyone else interest in naming some movie-star crushes? They don’t have to be from Hollywood’s Golden Age, they can be anyone.

How are we all doing? Hangin’ in there? I’m here to chat/play iMessage games/whatever if anyone feels lonely. Don’t forget to check in on your friends and family ✨

Got several requests from locals to rent my Airbnb (I had forgotten that I had listed and assumed no one was booking) for the weekend. It’s a hot weekend and the large pool is the major attraction for every single request. Anyone else doing Airbnb this weekend? I am undecided - part of me wants to say no, part wants to help people take a break from their smaller or less exciting places.

If you don’t owe any taxes, are there any consequences of submitting your state filing late by a few days?

Been in a major rut since the beginning of the year when an org change brought on poor management that has failed me. I’ve tried to push through but mentally nothing is bringing me back up to where I was pre-org change. I’ve taken PTO to relax and I workout to get my mind off work but it doesn’t seem to help. I’ve been on the job hunt since Jan. (without much luck) because that feels like the only solution. Am I wrong to leave after just a year or do you have tips to get back mentally? TIA

This pandemic has made me realize I really want to live full time on a lake and work remote from there. What approach would you take to make this happen? Aside from marrying a rich, 70 year old and becoming a trophy wife...
