It makes me unreasonably angry when I spend my time explaining everything I know about something for a coworker (about one of THEIR tasks, nonetheless, not mine) and the response is either to set up a meeting or to call me. 🤦 Like I’ve told you everything I know about it. Cool, we can call and I’ll read to you what I wrote, but I’ve typed it all for you, not sure what good you think a call is gonna do. I literally know nothing more than what I already wrote and now you’re hindering my work.

Any thoughts on how do we deal with an incompetent boss who you dont look up to and have no trust that you would ever get credit for the work you would do for him/her? Given that changing the boss is not an option.

My boss is a smart rainmaker for the organization. But she bullies people to get her way and doesn’t let people express their opinions. She is very high up and I don’t know what to do. I don’t trust HR and fear it getting back to her and the retribution.

Paraphrasing a partner during practice group call:

Not surprised looters went for shoe stores but Barnes and Noble was untouched... they can’t read.

I was floored by this (ignoring that maybe looters were interested in resale value, perhaps). Such clear racism. None of the other partners even attempted to call this partner out. Call went silent for moment before another partner changed subject. Nobody in practice group AA.

Ashamed, I didn’t speak. Concerned for my employment in these tkmes

Hi. What do you do with a gaslighting boss and coworker in a small office? I also don’t feel like my boss even cares about me. Examples- there was a man with a gun in parking lot that I had to flee from and call police, he didn’t care- just asked me when I was coming back to work.😳 zero compassion. didn’t care I had a blinking light above my desk, waited two months to fix it though my eye was twitching! Makes me feel like a burden for taking care of my health, etc. and gaslights me regularly!

I am giving my resignation tomorrow, but I’m nervous because I am not giving them the standard 2 week notice. I do not plan on ever coming back, and the management team has been awful to work with, but I still feel guilty. What would be the best approach to let them know, should I meet with the two managers and director face to face, or send an email?

As a manager, how do you expect your employee to deal with a diffcult customer?

First day in-house, virtual. What to wear for the zoom calls? Female. Blazers/jackets to be expected or a nice blouse good enough?

Just got selected to join the Navy as an officer but not leaving until early November. Anyone from HR have any recommendations on timing for when to tell my HR so they don’t let me go early? Would like to work until the week before I leave.

What do you do when you need to put in your 2 weeks but the partner you work with the most is not in the office and is ignoring emails? Do you just put in your notice to HR and other random partners?

Paralegal, being harassed by a senior associate. Thoughts on how to handle while being discreet?

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.

If the partner you want to give notice to doesn’t pick up the phone, is it acceptable to give notice by email?

How have you all delt with people who are workaholics and try to force their choices on you? She chooses to take on and work the way she does. She typically stays 30-40% in utilization above firm goal

How is it okay for Asian nightclubs (Mission) to get away with not letting non-Asians in? Saying it’s “closed for private event” or contrived dress code to non-Asians

I feel like I just got punched in the face. After 25+ years at my company I was reassigned to a new role that I didn’t want (for the good of the company) and half of my coworkers knew before I did.

Happy Halloween! Who says Financial Professionals are not creative? Share what you dressed up as for work today?

Feel like I’m the only one in audit who doesn’t know how to get a word in in meetings 😞

Was casually talking with my hairdresser and she asks what do I do. After I said I'm a FA she said "yeah, you look like one." So now i'm reevaluating all my life choices.

Is it wrong to say "thank you" when you're given an assignment? If so, how do you end your response? Just "will do." or similar?

Could I pull off asking my manager from J1 for approval of freelancing on the side? It’s quite common anyway for designers I think. And then my j2 can be “freelance” even though it’s full time?

Comp guidance needed - does anyone know what a fair comp would be for a 1st/2nd yr associate position for GS/MS/JPM Private Capital markets role? Don’t want to underrepresent myself with HR

Would you guys changed firms for a 27% base increase and higher title?

Hi, I want some clarification about service period. Actually i want to resign from TCS, my service bond period is 12 month.
Untill now i have served around 10.5 months if i resign now i have to serve my notice period which is 90 days, so in this case should i have to pay for my service bond value?

Anyone used Savebetter as their investing platform? Any thoughts on the risk involved?

Is 140k base for an M3 at a top 20 firm in NYC a fair offer? It’s for their RE group

Trans and in early stages, not ready to social transition. I used COVID to grow out my hair and start laser. Now that we are back to limited in person meetings, co-workers will notice the longer hair. And maybe the lesser facial hair.

Anyone else in a similar spot? How are you handling?

For new joiners, Is HCL is doing courier the laptops? Or we have to collect it from office?

Howdy. @Dong.Draper here reporting for duty. I love reading your caption submissions to my IG stories, so I’m stoked we now have a dedicated Meme Bowl where we can do more of that!

K back to banners.

Tell me your craziest experience working with a TV network. Here comes mine:

I'm American, but my family is mostly Colombian. I was told my aunt and cousins would come here for 2 weeks. I discovered they were going to be paid to appear in a famous Hispanic TV show, where a "judge" receives a case, hears the plaintiffs and defendants and renders a verdict. But of course, it's all fake and payed 😂 turns out she wanted me to go there (even though I don't work for that TV network) so she's sure she'll be paid at the end of the show. Wth did I just do.

So are we still on track to end our reliance on fossil fuels, or what? I'm not seeing nearly as many electric cars or charging stations as it seems like we are going to need soon

^very much so

Is anyone here in golden handcuffs? (absolutely hate what you do for work but it pays well and you have been accustomed to a certain lifestyle that it provides so you are unwilling to change careers)

You ever feel insecure when it comes to asking out women who are more successful than you?
I'm typically not good with women, but even worse when I meet a woman who is more successful than me. Like it makes me feel like I have even less of a shot and I shouldn't even bother. Is this common for anyone else?

When people ask me how are you or how was your week, my mind goes blank. All I can say is “good, and you?”

For those of you that are in ultra-productive relationships (both have high ambition/aspirations), was it easy for the two of you to move in together and sustain that energy/motivation?

I just spent $40 on 2qts of ice cream through Uber eats to help cope with my booster reaction.

Since BL posted that singles post, I've realized that the F🐠 are way more of a catch than the M🐠. Sadly I am a heterosexual F 😔
