Listen, I'm not saying I've gotten a coworker to repeat exactly what I already said to a customer when I was asked for my manager, but I'm not not saying that either.

I just left a very toxic work place.
The crazy thing is they were just named the best local municipality to work for. It's upsetting. They advertise a "culture" but don'tapply it. It felt like a used car sales pitch, I was sold a dream but given junk. I am constantly replaying moments. I have read so many books and everything leads to they were the problem. How do I recover from this?

I have a wee crush on one of the partners in my firm and I thought he liked me too, but neither of us did anything about it (which is entirely appropriate). That was all pre-Rona. Now I’m leaving the firm and pursuing another opportunity and staying in the same city. Since he’ll no longer be my boss, is there a way to find out if my feeling was correct? How should I go about this? (Especially given Rona?)

Today no one came into our restaurant and my boss started crying. Do I... comfort them? Leave them be?

Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with discrimination as an Asian in the workplace? In my company it seems like it’s a white boys club where and they just promote white ppl because they’re white. And then they have a lower bar for promotions for minorities (traditional minorities likes Hispanics and African Americans). Meanwhile they make Asians do all the work. I am not generalizing that this is how it is everywhere but it definitely is that way in my workplace. Any advice?

What do I do if I’ve only worked one job (the one I’m currently at) and another company is asking for references? I could do professors from college but not sure if that’s a good idea. I wish I could give my current manager’s contact but I don’t want her knowing :/

I’m a firm believer that a manager should develop a positive relationship with employees, but I don’t want that to be an invitation to disrespect my authority. How do you know where to draw the line to make this distinction clear?

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.

I keep fighting with the product managers on my team, who keep assigning me new features to build without checking first if I had the bandwidth for it. How do I communicate this politely?

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?

My boss in my creative agency threatened to fire me because I, a male, came into work with my nails painted. HR is having a very complicated day today as I found out I could take legal action if he does fire me since we don't have an established dress code that has any guidelines against male nail polish wearing.

How do you deal with your “mentor” being threatened by your performance and gatekeeping information from you? Then turning around and giving you shit for not knowing things… but they don’t tell you anything and there is no way for you to know. My learning and development is being hindered and I’ve felt this for a long time, but coworker just confirmed this is the case. Now that I know I’m not “crazy” for thinking this, how should I approach this?

How on earth are you guys getting into these AMD calls for 5/1? The theta is scaring the devil out of me. I almost went with the peer pressure yesterday and then backed out (I am bullish in AMD)

How do you handle people who deny climate change and global warming? It happens way more than I'd like it to when I tell people what I do for a living. I used to ignore it, but I want to start clapping back at them.

Ever had a crush on a manager? I just signed a new job offer and am worried I’m starting to develop a crush on my new manager from talking to him every week. Hoping it blows through before I start my new job in a month. I think I could also be confusing admiration/respect for romantic feelings. Curious if anyone’s dealt with this ?

How do you 100% utilized folks try to network with other folks in at the firm if you’re always at client site? Trying to get some face time with them

My GCD barely says hi to me when passing + doesn’t listen to me in meetings. It’s not a gender thing bc I see him talk to senior ADs all the time. How do I not be THAT junior?

Had a panic attack at work and had to leave bc I felt like I was going to puke at my desk... I feel like a disappointment to my team, since I couldn’t go to the client site. First bad day in a while):

Hi friends,

I'm a new joinee in MSFT.

People in my team they don't come with me for breaks. (They blame the timings are different since they sit in crits but i don't think so because they have their own group of friends to go with)

Secondly, when my team members see me in cafeteria we expect they'll sit with us but people here are being rude they directly go and sit with their friends they don't call you to join. ( atleast they could have said they are accompanied)

People behave unpleasant

Curious how MBB's cybercapabilities are viewed within the cyber world. Experiences, thoughts?

If I go to a non-HSW M7, what are my chances of getting a post-MBA offer from MBB? Just looking for offers/applicants numbers (ballpark is okay).

I want to exit to MBB but if that’s not a possibility what are the next best consulting firms? Looking for at least midsize firms (non-boutiques).

I’m a first-year MBB analyst. My dream role is helping energy / climate tech companies grow (more interested in ops/strategic work than in cutting checks). Are there funds that might be a good fit?

How do you find your goal? I sometimes find things like “I want to be the best in xxx” or promotions to be more like others goals or success criteria, rather than mine.

I’m on boarding for my new role at a pre ipo software company and just saw a GTM deck that McKinsey made for us. I’m in sheer awe of the level of analysis, storytelling, and visualization. Wow

PwC A3 here in currently in PCS, but looking to make a transfer into ITS after spring busy season, as well as switch offices. What’s the best way to go about this? Not receiving a ton of support from my local office. Can I get staffed on an ITS project before making the transfer to get “my foot in the door,” or is that not a thing? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hey guys,

I am from tax and i applied for Pune location from hyd which has now been approved. We're expected to go to office by Jan'23.
However, i wanted to visit the office sometime this year. Is the office open yet and available to book through magnet? Has anyone visited the office personally yet?

Got the back to office mail today.
What to do?
I don't want to leave home.

I hope you don’t mind, but I just have to brag. I QUIT MY JOB TODAY. Farewell, Karens.

Do you prefer bots that oftentimes just provide a list of possible issues that you may have or an actual person where you can directly say what the issue is as your customer support? Let’s discuss!

Hiring managers, what do you look for as you’re going through resumes?

How do you prevent the negativity of your job from impacting your personal life?

Will the customer support future be led by chatbots or will we still be necessary? lol

My company is receiving backlash for…let’s say a poor decision that has gone viral in my city. For 3 days, almost everyone who has called customer support is just looking to insult and yell at us. This isn’t our fault :/

I grew up with a lot of social anxiety so I can't really believe I'm saying this, but my favorite thing about working at a store is that I have to talk to people every day. It's really helped me come "out of my shell" and stepping outside of my comfort zone has given me more confidence than I ever thought it would.

How to stop customer service from ruining your day?

Hi fishes, do you get paid by the hour or receive a salary?

For those of you who lead a support team, how do you handle case/ticket queues when agents are OOO? I lead a team of 7 and looking to implement a better OOO process. Thanks!

Are you worried about how quickly AI support is growing?

It’s time we collectively stop agreeing to be abused by customers just because management thinks we should.

Is it normal to be ghosted after interviews? I’ve had three recently and not one callback.

I do feel bad when people can’t afford our subscription any more even though they love it. However, I wish they would stop getting mad at me over it. It’s not my fault!

Sometimes it feels like customer service is just trying to calm down a large, angry toddler.

Ok, so I messed up. I thought I had pressed hold when I turned to a coworker and said the customer was “one of the rude ones.” …turns out she wasn’t on hold, and heard me. How do I apologize to my boss?

Tell me a feel-good story from work that will restore my faith in humanity.

Managers, how do you help your customer support team avoid burnout?

Is anyone else worried about how fast digital platforms are changing? Older employees are already struggling to keep up, and it feels like we always have a new platform to learn.
