Managers/Senior Managers - How do you deal with your reports that are jerks?

Typical days on a difficult project with a difficult partner

How do you handle rude clinicians in the workplace? I always have an attending talking down to me.

How did you give notice you were lateraling to people you like? Particularly if you haven't been there that long?

I'm lateraling to another firm because frankly I think the management of this one is terrible, but the people (and individual partners) I actually work with are awesome. I've only been here for about 18 months, so I imagine that short time frame will make it extra awkward 😬

Is it appropriate to give your PL a gift (MD)? It was a promotion year to SM…

How do you bond with your clients and prospects?

What's a guilty pleasure you indulge in at work?

What you should do when dealing with a very toxic worker that keep on sending passive aggressive messages to you as well as in group chat and email.
Things like when you answer his question he respond: I know that
Or when he keeps on saying my change requests were just minor in group meeting but actually not.
And keep on saying how hard he works when he clearly wasn’t and already underperformed compared to an intern level.

How to not let this toxic co-worker not poison me any further?

My manager micro manages everything I do, and I’m losing my mind. Wanted to see how any of you have handled a manager like this, and get some advice on how to tell them to literally stop.

Since we returned to office in October, is it appropriate to give holiday gifts to team members?

Any advice on how to tastefully tell your manager that you no longer want to be a charge nurse anymore? For us being in charge is having full assignment 3p-7p & being responsible for assigning pts , communicating w/ supervisor about various issues, making the assignment for next shift, and a mini report about each pt for the next charge. On the weekends, same responsibilities but 7a-7p. We don't get any additional pay for being in charge and I'm sick of the added responsibility and stress of it.

Hi there!!

🥰🥰
I just want to say that I'm queer and married, in a Cis-hetero passing relationship 🤭

Do we have to talk about dating like all the time?

Can't we talk about other stuff? Like promoting THE AGENDA (jk)

No, but FR let's talk about being open and accepted in the workplace? How did you do that? How (un) friendly is the work environment?

Thankyaaaaaaaalll 😘😘😘

I’ve had a crush on a coworker forever and we’re stuck in this stupid small talk phase. I’m over analyzing and freeze up and don’t know how to push it forward. How do I get him to make the first move?

Just got out of the Army and transitioned to the business world. I have no clue how to dress. I’ve worn a uniform almost everyday for 7 years. Anyone have any advice for how to dress in the workplace?

Heard from me:

“Oh, junior person, you have edits to the monthly activity report 3 days after your deadline to review the report, and after I sent it to the client? How lovely for you."

I’ve accepted I suck at work. And I don’t know what people get from humiliating or criticizing you to the point you think you are worthless.

Partners / Managing Directors: in your junior years, how did you manage not wanting to work with a Senior Mgr who consistently tries to pull you into work he is doing? (He lies, tries to make you think that he is doing you favors, etc.) Does your answer now change as a Partner / MD?

There’s no reason you have to put up with a job you hate. I spent many years working in a toxic environment with a boss who gossiped and lead through fear. He wasn’t really much of a leader but basically a foreman. And he could make my existence miserable. I admit that it wasn’t easy to find another job but the bottom line is: trust your guts. If you feel something is wrong it’s because it probably is. Don’t second guess yourself. Look for options and and fight for your mental health.

Recommendations for white sneakers for the office for women ??

Can’t tell if I’m developing crushes on my coworkers only because they’re the only people I interact with (on zoom) in quarantine 😬

Fashion Q: what kinds of pants do you guys wear day-to-day? I know skinny jeans are considered “out,” but super baggy mom jeans are not flattering on my small frame. I wear leggings when I’m WFH, but I want to look slightly more put-together/fashionable outside my home

Resigned from TCS and LWD was a week ago. I received August's salary credited to my account. I cannot find the payslip in Alumni Portal.
Any idea when will I get August's payslip in Alumni Portal.?

Does EXL have an internal forum where employees sell out the cars after lease is over?
Or even lease transfer?

EXL…. A tatti company. Please don’t ever join.

Hey Dallas folks,
So my last month's electricity bill almost doubled? Wondering if this was something anyone else experienced as well (maybe due to those snow days?)

Only a few of the engineers I've met have been antisocial, and it seems like such people are represented fairly evenly across different careers. I'm not really sure why that misconception still exists

Has anyone been with someone with a really small one? What was your experience like? I recently started seeing someone with the tiniest one I’ve ever seen (like an inch). I’m ok with it, but he’s clearly insecure and I want to be understanding

Is anyone here working in coforge banglore location???

Hi fishes,

Should we accept a counter offer after resign?

Matching the compensation and bonuses.
Promoting to new profile

What is the appropriate way to sympathize with relatives when their loved ones pass away. I never know what to say on the phone other than ask is everyone ok and I am sorry to hear their loss. Cont...

Any Sales Leaders doing any of the following with their sales teams?

- Entering a new market.
- Entering an old market with a new product.
- Trying to focus sales efforts onto one objective.

I’m putting together a beta program that was successful for my current company and I want to see if it will help other leaders.

Let me know if this interests you below. Thanks!

Hi- Looking for a marketeer- recommendations welcome!

For those of you without a home office: Where do you usually work? My desk is in my bedroom and I’m considering sacrificing aesthetic to move my set up elsewhere

Looking for a home office chair…I need something really ergonomic/comfortable but given the visibility of the office in the house the wife wants something stylish. She keeps calling all my ideas ‘gamer chairs’ even though they’re definitely not. Anyone have any chairs they really like that may be worth looking at? I feel like I’ve looked everywhere (Steelcase, Herman Miller, humanscale, Haworth, xchair, etc).

Anyone have any interview experience/advice for the IBM associate technical consultant federal position…application developer and test specialist specifically.

Hi Friends

I am in process getting an offer from a IT consulting firm in Poland. Could you please suggest some salary range for a Oracle Database Developer with over 10 years of experience in Banking and Finance domain. I am thinking of asking 35000 zloty per month..!! My current CTC in india is 31 LPA.

For the people who would surely ask how did I managed to get a job, I got it through LinkedIn :)

Does anyone have any good Russian contacts to get the lowdown on these Iowa caucus results?

EY does your HR act as if they are getting approvals when the hiring manager gave me hint that I’m a candidate already approved? It’s been like 2 weeks and the HR is very poor in response. Now I’m like will I even be approved? I don’t know why the HR is so slow.

So who else is at Hilton Orlando this week?

I have been tagged for this project that doesn’t start until June 10th. My utilization is going to drop significantly but at the same time the deployment team cannot present me elsewhere. Ugh!

Would you take a pay cut to move to industry ? WLB currently isn’t bad - but not learning anything and concerned long term. Just can’t stomach a 15-25k TC hit

Thoughts on 1.5 page resume? I don't have enough to fill 2 pages without diluting the quality of the resume, and figured I'd push old jobs and education to 2nd page. Page 1 would still have most important data points.

13 YOE and 7 companies, so finding it difficult to fit on one page.

Anyone afraid to take vacation in FY18, for fear of missing utilization? 🙋🏼🙋🏼‍♂️

Why do jobs in the US pay so much more than internationally (particularly Europe)?

Anyone have specific financial goals they're willing to share and how to get there? I'm 30 yo, l10 and $$ gives me anxiety. Currently making ~$95k with $30k in brokerage and $30k 401k. Or, tips for not stressing out that I'll be broke in retirement? Should I make a lateral move out at some point and target a $250k salary by X age?

Hi, I am a 21-year-old who graduated from uni in January 2022 business administration with a concentration in management bachelor.
I like when I can solve problems for a business and make the experience better for customers and employees. I like removing friction from business processes and I love it when business processes are smooth and enjoyable for every stakeholder. I sharpened my project management skills, now I am working on strategic management continuing in the comment...

Is it recommended to get two full years of consulting experience before looking for a move elsewhere...for more comp (say to another Big 4, industry, attempt at MBB or FAANG)? Already have 8 yoe in the DoD space outside of consulting. And about 16 months of consulting exp

Almost 4YOE at Big 4 TAS. Seen high turnovers this year. Thoughts on the following options: FPA vs. CorpDev vs. MM IB vs. MBA to BB/EB or MBB?

Any insights into constituting service lines, industries, or firms for getting to travel internationally? US based here if that helps.

Beside toastmasters, what are other ways to improve communication and public speaking skills? Books, podcasts...?

Interesting footnote on Deloitte’s DEI workforce data -

“Job role representation does not include PPMD representation”

Speculating that we are still poor on DEI representation on levels that matter.

PwC 🐠: Be careful trying to switch competencies. A colleague of mine tried to move and got laid off in the process. Make sure you have the Partners approval first. (On the receiving end)

Any thoughts on getting a degree from Harvard Extension School? I’m thinking of getting a grad degree in Management Info Systems instead of getting an MBA

I'm an introverted person, like to keep to myself, focus on work, spend the rest of my time on family, gym etc. I've been told that I need to work on my communication and client relationship building skills. any books I can read? I don't follow pop. culture anymore, no longer actively follow team sports (but sporty myself) as I consider it bread and circus for the masses and don't rly enjoy work drinks... Am I doomed? Personally I am happy and love the work but fear for my career progression.

Anyone else feel that Trevor guy from Lincoln lawyer series resemble Jack dorsey?

If your role is being closed/being laid off (not due to performance issues) just firm downsizing, do you tell the companies you are interviewing? How to phrase it?
