Is it ok to discuss age at work? Do you tell people your age if they ask? I’ve had experiences in the past (non tech companies) where older coworkers change their perception of you if they find out you’re much younger than they are...If you have coworkers that ask about your age (especially around birthdays), what’s a good way to avoid telling them your age without coming off as rude?

Would you feel comfortable telling HR that your service line’s culture sucks and name the individuals who cause it? Or is a better approach saying it’s the leadership in general creating a negative and toxic culture? How effective are these conversations really? Trying to assess if there’s any point in bringing this up. Obviously HR works for the company and an employee sharing their thoughts on the unsupportive, cold leaders could bite me in the long run.

How do they celebrate Christmas/the holidays where you work? Our office has decided to do an ugly sweater competition at our potluck and I can't wait 🤣. Plus we had a guy come and put icicle lights up around the eaves. When I worked at a hospital we could never decorate so I'm really enjoying it.

I feel like my people must be here. Everyone on my team is <35 (and I love them) but I’m right on the cusp and officially over the 35 mini hill.

How should I react to a super disrespectful manager? She had a meeting today and google meet stopped working. Instead of thinking: oh a technical problem occurred she started blaming me saying that I should have created a corrected link. When I told her that was quite impossible her answer was: I forgot you are miss I am never wrong Linksare autogenerated by google meet, if I was able to “create” links and codes I would not have been her assistant but already in the valley making tons of money.

I’m managing a team of juniors. So I find when presenting our ideas I say we all thought of these as a team. But today someone seemed aggravated with it. For background I call out those key players in my one on ones with my manager but am I in the wrong by not doing it in the presentation? I’m new to managing and I’m still learning so I would love any advice when dealing with this type of situation.

Am I the only person who wears a suit (no tie) on closing day?

As a Californian who wears them nearly daily outside work, trying to understand why certain “stylish” cliques have such a hostile reaction to men in flip flops? Especially if you take care of your feet as I do (regular pedicures, etc.), why does this one thing drive some people crazy?

Managers and above, during the YE performance reviews, when you tell your staff/senior that he or she is a strong performer with no other constructive criticism, do you really mean it?

Anyone had their work straight up laughed at (in a bad way) in a meeting? Is this par-for-the-course or should I start packing?

Very grateful to have a job during these times, but just got asked to work on a pitch for a potential client I fundamentally disagree with and view as harmful to the world. Should I stand my ground? Ugh, this sucks.

How do you deal with managers or directors younger than you who don’t have strong leadership qualities due to lack of experience? I’m in my mid-thirties and the director of product is mid-twenties. They rose through the ranks as the startup grew so they really know the product and company but they don’t have a lot of experience managing a team. It’s frustrating to have someone lead without having the skills to lead or the insight to give industry or career advice. How have others handled it?

I am an experienced Technical Writer with more than 10 years of experience working for Software companies on the East Coast. I have been exploring new career opportunities, given how hot the market is right now. I was wondering what a realistic salary / comp should be for someone with my experience.

I am targeting tech companies on both the East and West coast for remote roles. Is asking for a base pay of $150k + bonus + RSUs seem unreasonable? I am currently making low six figures right now.

The biggest spot I'm interested in within tech is Fintech (by a good margin), but given the current environment (layoffs), I'm a big worried. Guessing I should be looking at late stage startups / large banks?

Should I be worrying that I haven't grown much at my company in the last couple years? I enjoy my job, but will that hurt me?
