McDonald’s fired their CEO for having a relationship with an employee. How many agencies would have their leadership decimated if this was a rule in advertising?

If the works get done and no harm is done, I don’t care if you marry, date, fuck or have an affair with someone else. If it is consensual, let them be.

It’s fine for same level colleagues to date, but leadership dating (or, really, having affairs with) staff is the little secret that ain’t secret that kills morale. It’s funny how they don’t think we know, though, that part amuses me. (Hint: we always know even if we never say a word.)

It’s like the flat earther thing, I can’t respect you when I know you’re a dirtbag cheating on your wife. In what other ways are you dishonest? A few, I’ll wager.

Bingo. Also, I know you make terrible decisions. How these people get continual passes is mind boggling.

Something stinks about the McD CEO. He doubled stock price. If it was consensual and really one time, I don’t think he would be fired. There’s more to story.

Is it a red flag as a candidate to ask if a company offers maternity leave? I was recently laid off, so I wasn't expecting to lose my job. We're planning on trying for a baby in the next year or so, so it's really important to me that my next job offers paid maternity leave.

The issue is that it's so rarely advertised on company web sites, but ultimately better maternity leave would sway my decision for a job. Is there a way to ask this tactfully? Or without raising red flags?

You’re out here stressing the hell out of yourself…working late…sleeping late…ignoring your mental health, family and friends…and then when mass layoffs hit…it doesn’t spare you! Take care of yourself dawg…these companies don’t care!

Hi Fishes,
I have overall experience of 5yrs. Out of which 3years for US healthcare and 2 years for US mortgage. US mortgage domain has now become thinner as industry almost sunk since most of the companies has laid off employees, I was also the victim. Fortunately, got an opportunity to work Optum but heard rumours about the lay-off in our entire process which is creating a frustration and negativity all around. Please refer me if there's any relevant opening in backhend operations. Thanks!

Hi all, I got laid off from my current company (product based) a month ago. Since then I've been looking for new opportunities.

I have a good rapport with my current manager, and he played a major role in offering this rehire opportunity. I'm confused about making the right decision here. Kindly share your views. Both offers are pretty much same.

Should I still try to negotiate salary after accepting a offer? It is from Accenture for a security analyst position. Since I’m basically a new grad I assumed negotiating salary wouldn’t be worth it. Until I talked to someone on the security team there and he told me I should at least be a senior analyst since I am coming in with a Masters. Should I try to negotiate to a senior role and the salary or leave it? It’s my only cybersecurity offer. Also looking for FAANG,big4or MBB referrals :)
