I’ve been at a new firm for 2 months. Small team and small firm. Only woman in office. Getting treated like dirt. Was laid off after 1 year from past job and feel like I can’t leave...

Stay but start looking. Make sure you try to document your mistreatment as much as possible. Sorry this is happening to you.

Have a lease obligation in this city and not much other jobs in industry around. Relocation would have very negative financial effect for me and really effect financial security. Love the firm and the work, just the team is a problem. No formal HR to discuss with. Tried to talk to boss but they are all long time friends and he has been defensive. Feeling stuck in what is turning out to be a very toxic situation. What would you do?

Try to schedule a feedback session with the key person(s) in question and tell them your experience two months into the roll - loving the work, loving the job. Talk about what about the team dynamics is new for you and is proving challenging and ask for advice to navigate it better.

How does treated like dirt manifest?

Do you think it’s because you’re new or a woman or both?

I am seeking new employment, I was recently laid off due to lack of work. I would very much appreciate any leads. I have a Bs in Construction Management and over 15 years experience with Revit and AutoCAD and 7 years of plumbing design. I have solid references and impeccable work ethic. I truly enjoy what I do. Working remotely the last three years has become a way of my life and supports our current situation well, therefore I am seeking a similar role but will consider other opportunities.

Hi everyone, unfortunately I was recently affected by a layoff at my company. About 30% of their marketing department along with other departments were all let go. I have 3+ professional experience with product marketing, digital marketing, and event management. If you know of anyone looking for marketing specialists or just want to network in general let me know. I would love to connect!

I work on a consulting team at a large software company. I’m a job hopper, around 2 years each at my first and second jobs and a little over a year at this job. I recently found out they’re shutting my team down. We’re not fired, but they’re transferring us to the core implementation team, which has a horrible reputation for malignancy, overworking, and isn’t at all what I was hired to do. How hard is it going to be to for me to find a new job? Should I just stay and try things out? What next?
