It scares me how cruel some people I work with can be! Today someone came in twice to ask for water, and I got it for them both times since it's very hot where we live and water is free technically. The 2nd time they came in, I overheard my coworker saying "I don't know why she doesn't just call the police." I get that dealing with homeless people at work can be frustrating sometimes, but it really rubbed me the wrong way. Do I bring it up?

Anyone else completely give up on a dress code in office? See some teams come in straight casual. My mini rebellion is wearing sneakers instead of regular dress shoes

One of my coworkers has withheld information that's important to my research because of a personal conflict we had. Should I speak to management or is it his right?

What it be a bad idea to shade your previous employers in a TikTok career account?

So… I am working on a project with outside consultants that wraps up this week. I’m feeling some kind of “vibe” with one of the male consultants and I am wondering how to figure out if I am imagining things or whether there is actually something there. He lives is another state and it doesn’t seem likely our paths will cross again.

How do you deal with office mean girls?

Navigating the “we all went to Syracuse and were better than you” clique is getting exhausting.

The behavior is petty and mindset is borderline PR elitist.

What’s your take on working along side a team in marketing but barely any of your team enjoy the social present, let alone having actual social accounts. I’m totally respect people who want to keep their personal life private, but not knowing what the hell is trending while holding a role that deal with social media contracts everyday and giving others opinions, that’s what I’ll have problem with. Thoughts?

If your MD invites the team to his house for a BBQ, is it ok to bring him a bottle of champagne as a gift? Should it be chilled?

I have this massive crush on my coworker and she's the type to kiss other girls for attention… so I've become her latest victim whenever we're out and I'm pretty sure she knows I'm gay and it's just 🙈 killing me softly sigh.

In the process of getting a new director and it’s been rocky so far. Any tips on handling conversations with senior leaders about this topic ?

An editor I work with all the time has been amazingly patient + flexible through millions of rounds of (often frustrating) edits lately, & I’d like to get her something small as a thank you (thinking of a delivery of Levain cookies or similar), but I don’t know her address. Any suggestions on ways I could send her a little token of thanks?

I have an extremely difficult colleague that I cannot work with. He answers my questions with completely tangential information and i have to repeat questions multiple times before he answers them, easily the poorest communicator I have ever worked with.

The week he took as PTO was the best week of my career at Amazon and I was far more productive.

I don't think I can continue working here if I am working with him on a daily basis, but I don't want to be seen as a poor team player. Any advice?

Any thoughts on post-season moves for your team? I'm personally really pissed that the Canes are letting Niederreiter talk to other teams. He's a huge part of the team's success and I'm stunned.

I live in a mid-size market. The community is not super diverse, but has been attracting more young people of color in recent years. Still, I’m one of two attorneys of color in my 120-attorney office. I’m really unhappy with the overall culture at my firm and I experience a lot of blatant sexism and covert racism. (Continued)

A close work friend who just left my firm a few weeks ago blocked my number without telling me why. Before that when they left they had said to text them regularly to catch up. So I had been texting them with updates. Nothing bad at all. I guess the friend just didn’t want to deal with my regular updates but wish they had just told me not to send them instead of blocking (after all, they had requested them). It hurts. Anyone go through this?

When looking for Associate Program Management roles, all the searches come up as Business Analyst. I’m a systems engineer with 3 YOE so would moving to a business analyst be a step in the wrong direction? I feel like I don’t have enough YOE for a program manager role.

Is it a common practice to double deploy consultants ? I.e., bill them 8 hours to client 1 and 2-3 hours at client 2? And do you do that with/without clients knowledge and consent?

We were talking about website tracking pixels… Highlight of my day.

Overheard in an integration meeting: “yes, we have a prison strategy."

Translation: "I know it's not my place to say (and everyone knows it) and we'll really have to work hard to get this done (and everyone knows it). But I want to be on record as being against it before there's any whiff of complication or controversy—and before the client has an opportunity to be for or against anything."

Ah... teamwork.

How does Amazon ask for relocation back if you have signed the agreement with them and left the company before completion of the agreement? Do they send you an email on how to repay the money or they send a letter to your mailing address?
And this whole process takes how many days?
