Let’s talk about fake empowerment. My job constantly preaches that we “own our work” and “have a voice,” but in reality, nothing happens unless it’s blessed by three managers, a director, and someone in another department who barely knows the project. Every time I offer a new idea, it either gets ignored or magically reappears later with someone else’s name on it. It’s all control, no trust. Does anyone else work somewhere that talks a big empowerment game but micromanages every move?

“Empowerment” is the new corporate buzzword for “do more work with no say and no credit.” If everything needs five approvals, you’re not empowered, you’re just being managed into submission.

Ain't that some isht tho? You come up with an idea or suggestion and then someone else decides oh we should try this. We used to do this ,you know. 😂 I think I always knew that I was just supposed to be that silent cog. See how that's working out for em. 😂

“You own your career” is code for “you’re on your own, we’re not doing anything to help you.”

I'm at a career juncture and have decided on a career in anti-money laundering as my new path. I'm also highly interested in additional education to further my career and am eyeing graduate school. Which is best? A law degree or a master's in international relations? Those are where my interests lie. I keep reading that JDs are valued in compliance but am wondering if a different graduate program is better for my goals. I already plan to obtain the CAMS certification. Thank you!

Friend of mine was supposed to receive an offer (told verbally) from Deloitte and then just found out they are pausing on hiring the role. How common is that? Seems wildly unprofessional that none of the partners called and instead it was the recruiter conveying that news. At McKinsey, if that happened, the head of the practice or the office would personally make the phone call at the very least.
