Just got asked off an account for defending the work too much. I’ve never felt prouder of myself. May the bridges I burn light my way.

Does anyone have a go-to "odd" or unconventional question you like to ask candidates to keep them on their toes or see how they react when put on the spot?

15 YOE, recently started my first tech PR job at a large, stable company & have been asked to get ~20 SMEs in front of media. Subject matter is not sexy. I lead PR for all of U.S. & have no other PR colleagues. My agency’s budget is 100k/year & they’re spread too thin to hit their KPIs. I feel set up to fail & feel we should be focusing on a handful of SMEs and only our sexiest topics. Any advice on mitigating unrealistic expectations for coverage? Anyone handled similar problems in the past?

My partner is unstable, refuses to take their meds. Regularly snaps and lashes out at me. Im leaving and I feel compelled to tell HR for my replacement’s sake. Am I out of line?

I have a coworker who’s a functional alcoholic. I’ve never dealt with a situation like this before so I don’t even know if it’s my place to say something

Am I the only social worker/therapist who doesn’t work well with being assigned to do last minute paperwork? I’m a very organized person, both personally and professionally and this has been challenging for me in a professional setting. How would you present this to your supervisor who continues to not understand? Any feedback is appreciated 😊

Do you think it is time to find another job when your PIC is a micro manager, never trained you when you got hired, expects you to know things no one ever told you about in the first place, texts and calls you in the morning with questions you don’t have an answer to (I work evening shift so I’m mostly sleep when he reaches out), assumes the worst about everything, plots against you anyway, lies all the time, they don’t even do their job, they leave their trash behind etc. gives me anxiety.

Guys I am on notice period and will resign in a month. My team members will give me a goodbye gift total amount be approx 5-7k. My team lead is very frank with me so he told I should tell him what I need and he'll put forward to others. Any good suggestions what should I ask for?

What is the advice on what feedback to leave for a peer who really sucks at everything y'all have worked together on? It's about the time where everyone on my team requests feedback from each other and I'm nervous for it coming up. My manager knows that everything I've worked w her on I end up doing 90% of the work when it's meant to be split so it is a known issue. We're both at level 3 so are genuinely peers. She seems like a nice person but i have 0 positive work feedback tbh

GDS folks, a colleague of mine has defaulted on timesheets (more than 3) at senior level and was rated as Progressive. Is that the sole factor for not him not being a rated as differentiator?

Ways to overcome fear of public speaking? At times I stutter when I introduce myself and am sick of it

Hi 👋. I posted here a few weeks ago about being nervous conducting a PIP conversation with my team member.
I did it this week and let me just say it was the weirdest conversation ever. The guy is usually argumentative and tries to disprove every bit of feedback. But this time he just sat there and asked no questions and said nothing.
Maybe he’s looking for new jobs already - don’t mind this at all and this would be a good outcome for him overall.

Hi guys 👋🏻
So I joined IBM 5 months back, was on bench for this long and got project just a week back.

My PSP and People Manager have been kind of lenient, cooperative and kind to me because I was never told I will be put in PIP, I have to enter project not matching my skillset etc etc.

Is it wise to appreciate both of them via blue points for their support?

I just got a mail saying I have 200 bluepoints to send out appreciations if I feel like.

At an in-office happy hour I once had a coworker shout out loud that she doesn’t trust people who do not drink upon discovering I had OJ in my champagne glass. #rude #IdidntGiveAfuck

Always thought I was an introvert but maybe I’m just drained from a toxic job and haven’t met my type of people. Is that possible?

I've been biking to my home office everyday so I've been wearing gym clothes and bringing a change of clothes with me. When I get in the morning how long can I sit at my desk before going to change?

How do you tackle ignorant managers and favoritism in the team ?

Is it a nice idea to be close to your employees?

Really looking for a way to turn around a toxic building culture with staff to staff bullying, cliques/social isolation, hard feelings on big topics (racism, non acceptance of gender identity). Last year the staff polarized with the lead bully whom I helped leave. And the lead gossip (who was my secretary) that gained their sympathy and turned them against me. She also left. Now I need to regain trust and eliminate unacceptable teacher behaviors. Open to any and all advice.

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?

Tips on giving notice over the phone? I’m required to be in the office 5 days a week but the two partners I work for never come on Fridays or Monday mornings

I have got a offer of 22 lpa fixed from IBM in ban 07B.yoe 10 years.current ctc ~ 10.5 lpa.

Hi Fishes,
Had a very serious query. In my current organization I was not under taxable bracket by any means so I didn't submit any investment declarations or anything. But I'll start a new job in 2 weeks where I'll be under taxable bracket. So will I get a chance to submit my investment declarations in the new company for tds calculations in the middle of the year ? I'm new to everything so would appreciate your help. TIA :)

Hi Fishes,

I had worked as a manual test engineer in Wipro, can anyone refer me.

Hello all, my first post. Anyone else feel like their general manager won't promote them because they're afraid you'll make them look bad. Like they don't do their job well enough so you'll outshine them? Do you stay? Leave? Try to build the relationship? It's been a year. @Aimbridgehospitalityllc

Anyone knows anything about Siegel+Gale in LA?

How many hours are you all , on average, working in a day?

I’m so f*cking scared of fucking something up, getting fired and then being unemployable…

Who would you take at pick 2: Elliott or Barkley?

Elliott - better offense so more scoring but more weapons to compete for TDs/looks

Barkley - offense revolves around him, but defenses know this

I like to think of myself as calm but really I’m just dead inside.

So inquiring minds need to know. What happened to kevin ?

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence

Has anyone ever found their work in someone else’s portfolio? What did you do?

It's freezing tonight bitter cold. I just ordered Chinese and I'm not sure if that was a shitty thing to do. I think they need to make money so if no one calls that wouldn't be good. I did tip well

My CEO was just ousted and I think he left a stash of weed in his old office

People always compliment how soft my skin is, I honestly think it’s because I don’t shower daily so I never have to use lotion and my skin has a natural oil balance. I usually shower every other day or every 2 days. Unless I sweat or get dirty… Showering everyday is such an advertising concept, a whole industry is built on it, but we were not meant to shower every single day, 50 years ago most people didn’t

I just started a new job, they are asking me to lead training. I have no experience in the subject matter. Why me?

The new swatch ads make no sense to me. Skin Irony? Wtf?

I have a coworker who’s a functional alcoholic. I’ve never dealt with a situation like this before so I don’t even know if it’s my place to say something

I was late to an interview.

I’m type A, never late, certainly not to an interview. I called & sent an email as soon as I knew I would be delayed. They had me come in anyway. Am I totally screwed?

Guys I just killed my first cockroach in NYC. Either I need a new job and to relocate immediately or am now invincible/can do anything?

Wow hate the overuse of “from a ______ perspective"

I’m tired of the arrogance and male techno-superiority. Where are the humans with feelings, vulnerability, joy in all of this?
