Managers, when you & your team are stressed out / working late, how do you cope/keep morale up?

I’m autistic & a newer mgr. ASD folks struggle w/ indirect comms bc it feels like lying. So, it’s hard to pretend I’m fine when stressed. I’m struggling bc it’s breaking my routine & recovery time so I’m not masking well, but trying to maintain a happy supportive face. How do you create space to decompress/discharge bad energy & not send it out to your team in this situation?

EY folks - anyone up for a virtual happy hour next week sometime? We could maybe use zoom?

I recently joined a niche function in an industry role, and think it could translate to consulting well. What are the things you (partners or equivalent) would want to know before pushing to build a new (sub-)practice area?

Is anyone else here still 100% WFH?

Just had a planning/staffing meeting with SM to plan out the 12/31/18 YE for my public client. Currently looking into leaving PA and I feel bad about planning out the rest of the year. Any thoughts?

Hi Fishes,

Any suggestions is it worth for joining wipro for C1 band with 40% hike.

OP, how'd you make out this week?

I know the reason I want to go to grad school but how do I develop a convincing business case? Any tips? I want to make sure it’s enough for the firm to see value in paying for it completely. Any tips?

I’m a noogler with a $1000 wfh stipend burning a hole in my pocket. itching for a 4K monitor and/or apple air pods max since I’m in a noisy area. Am I being reasonable? Or am I crazy?

There is a partner in our office that routinely discusses associate performance with other associates. For example, she will tell Associate A that Associate B isn’t performing and/or hitting hours, etc. Recently, I learned that she has been discussing “issues” she had with my work product two years ago (I no longer do any work for her). Is this something I should bring up? It bothers me that she is talking about me to others.

I personally hate being stopped by awkward strangers with clipboards on the sidewalk to talk about nonprofits. Do they actually benefit from this versus promoting themselves on social? (1/3)

Ever started going off on a full-on rant on social media about how incompetent a company is, and after 15 people chime in you realize that you're all talking about one of your clients?

Anyone here have predictions regarding the halving event May 2020? I’m gonna hodl until end of 2021 and sell out...I’m hoping 50-100k per btc

What is A&M base for FDD for each level? I understood it was flat across all cost of living and years of tenure but have seen varying numbers from people

I am an Admin Assistant. I do admin, project coordination and lead a few projects. I am often in meetings with a lot of execs & from my experience (even in my team), I find that people seem to think lowly or are dismissive of admins work. I am currently looking at entry roles in consulting but am worried hirers will see my title & dismiss my application too. My friend suggested changing my title to Project Assistant or Coordinator on my resume to reflect what I do now but this feels like lying?

How is work quality with CCB Bangalore /Mumbai?
What exactly they do and how is the WLB?

Has anybody in the UK started their own engineering consultancy? I see this as my next step but I'm struggling to find good case studies on how to get started.
Any advice is welcome!

Any thoughts on Rent the Runway? (Also specifics on their parental leave policy?)

What is the male equivalent of the conversation I just had: being advised not to “huff up on stage” like “little miss bossy boots” and “try to take take charge” of my own spot, on set.

I asked in the general forum but figured I’d reach to you ladies too - have any of you negotiated to have your new agency cover part or all of the closing costs when selling your home to relocate?

How's everyone doing with back to school and mental health? I'm too stubborn to break, but UUUGHHHH! Work is absolute hell with no relief in sight (but I'm glad to have a job!) & my child is starting a new school (in-person). So many emails and orientations, it's like being a lost kindergarten parent all over again! Plus a "mother's council" Zoom mtg @ 930 on a Thu AM?! Already super stressed & overwhelmed. Also lying about about not breaking, just haven't hit the wall of tears quite yet. Sigh.

My agency is on the rise, but I personally haven’t made anything I’m proud of in a year. Should I stick it out or try another agency?

I’m leaving my agency after two years. I gave my manager six weeks advance notice and he’s upset with me because he feels betrayed. Now every conversation we have is combative. Not sure what to do for the remaining time I have here. I really liked him before this.

The Ogilvy brand refresher tho 👌🏼 Kudos

How do you deal with a coworker trying to push their work on you?

When I started at this company there wasn't much work assigned to me so the office manager/accountant (small company) would have me help her with this major excel document daily. It's very time consuming and requires use of a database-- in short. But can usually be finished by noon if done properly.

About a month after I was hired my boss found out she was giving me work. Which I was unaware he didn't know about, and reprimanded her for it. My workload has increased tremendously after my first month and she was still having me help her with the documents.

I just overheard her step into our bosses office saying that her workload is too much and that she needs help (most likely mine since I'm the only other employee trained to do so. My workload has become pretty insane most days, I don't have room in my schedule to provide her with help but I'm worried my boss will ask me to help to appease her.

My boss rarely comes into the office, and on the days he's out this coworker watches soap operas and takes loud personal calls for the entirely of the day.

How do I approach this if my boss asks me to help her with this task? She clearly has enough time to work on them herself.

Me getting a promotion: should I negotiate? How do I negotiate? What if they say no?

Male coworker who is more junior, did not get a promotion: I am absolutely going to ask for a raise.

😬😬😬😬

What’s the average salary for a Junior AD in NYC? Is 55k too low?

Feeling lost, where can I go from here? I’m an ex graphic designer turned into brand management. I miss creating sometimes but I’m enjoying having a different type of role in the development of work

Decided to take a leap and leave full time agency life to be a freelancer and/or part timer. I’ve never worked as a freelancer before so wondering how folks have negotiated their rate, hourly vs day rate? For reference, I’m in the Account Management space and have 8+ years of experience. Thanks!

I’m the only woman in my creative dept and non-creatives keep forgetting I exist. They’ll mention my CD and writer by name when referring to the whole team but leave me out completely. What do I do? ☹️

I just accepted an offer for my dream job. How do I not let imposter syndrome lead to self-sabotage? I constantly forget I have 12 years of experience, and that experience matters.

I cannot stand when the men on my team start calling eachother "dude" and "bro". Am I crazy or are these slight microaggressions? It feels like a flaunt of masculinity and makes me uncomfortable as a female in the same conversation.

Any recos for winter boots for city living that are also work friendly? Or do people change into their shoes after they get to the office? Just moved back to Chicago & looking to gear up for winter!

Does anyone share office space with their partner? Pros and cons? I'm currently sharing the space and I love it. We're currently renovating the house and were able to get our own spaces and am planning to have separate offices. I feel like I'm going to miss being my next to partner all the time but also kind of excited to decorate my own room

Any therapist reccos in Seattle?
