My agency is run by account people. The EVP runs the creative department because she bullies creatives into what she thinks is good. Everyone let’s her do what she wants because we all just want to go home at night. She lives for the job and sends texts and emails all hours and feeds off of and fuels the gossip train. While i hate it and cannot respect her actions she’s been good to me and pays me a ton, so I look the other way when she sets people up.

One of the executives at my job is really attractive. Sometimes I get “ lost” so I can walk by his office 🤭

At an in-office happy hour I once had a coworker shout out loud that she doesn’t trust people who do not drink upon discovering I had OJ in my champagne glass. #rude #IdidntGiveAfuck

If you were attracted to a subordinate coworker would you by all means try to avoid being placed on same engagement team to avoid obvious or put more effort and request that they be put on your team?

Maybe it's because I'm in tax, but I've never dealt with these unreasonable Partners people speak of. I've never been told I can't go on vacation, or I've never been yelled at for not being in the office long enough. I've also never been iced out because of one mistake here or there.

During my first year, I struggled, and the partners I worked with went out of their way to take their time with me to help me learn, as did some of the senior-level Associates.

Stop giving big law a bad name

There’s a senior architect at my firm that’s absolutely toxic as heck but on Fridays, he becomes his alter ego. All like “Happy Friday!” and “you’re very welcome” and “hope you have a fantastic weekend!” No joke, he really is a different person.

Good places for buying business casual clothing (men's)?

Do you think it is time to find another job when your PIC is a micro manager, never trained you when you got hired, expects you to know things no one ever told you about in the first place, texts and calls you in the morning with questions you don’t have an answer to (I work evening shift so I’m mostly sleep when he reaches out), assumes the worst about everything, plots against you anyway, lies all the time, they don’t even do their job, they leave their trash behind etc. gives me anxiety.

How soon did you tell your office you are pregnant? When is the best time?

Boss: I need you to stop challenging me on every decision.

Me: I don’t want us to have a confrontational relationship and I think we can agree something needs to change. When you make stupid decisions, that affects my business and it makes me feel like you’re not up to the job. That makes it harder for my team to do our jobs. I think to be an authentic leader I need to be radically candid with you and point our your mistakes. So are you willing to work with me on this?

I am so sick and fed up with some of the older clients at my job. I know it's my responsibility to take care of them, but they're just so sexist sometimes.

Hi. People Manager here. I've been one for 12 years now and I encourage my team to not be "yes" people. At this time, it feels like my manager wants me and my team to be yes people for her. How do I deal with this? I've never been a yes person and I don't preach this to my reports. I don't know what to do. Help?

I found one of my coworker's anonymous Twitter accounts, and it has a ton of red flags involving bigotry, sexism, etc. It's a personal account, so should I mention it to HR or not?

@women in the ME, I’m moving from NYC to Dubai. Is there some things to consider for attire in a business environment or is it the same as in NA? I’m thinking about business travel to other countries like KSA 👀

Gotta love when a client doesn’t catch their own mistakes until the final round and then asks why you fucked it up....

Tips on giving notice over the phone? I’m required to be in the office 5 days a week but the two partners I work for never come on Fridays or Monday mornings

What's the best way to be supportive of a partner who struggles with addictive tendencies?

How do you deal with a manager who expects 3 months of work overnight? I have tried structuring , creating a plan to show him how the activities are being executed. However, he seems to be someone who turns around every other hour to ask ‘Is it done’? I am usually pretty good at managing expectations but having a hard time conveying how unreasonable he is being. Despite being organized, I am coming across as scattered and jumbled since I have been working 15+ hours with no food and break daily

How do you all respond when someone you work with asks gives you unsolicited organization advice/ says something like “do you not keep a to do list?” Lol I keep like 5 and 95% of the time I am so on top of things it’s crazy! Have one bad day/ couple days amd boom… my SM is asking if I keep a list…

Could someone please suggest how to handle this situation?
My manager (Technology Director) sees me as an emerging thread to his position and stopped sharing details / trying to avoid including me in visible projects etc.,
FYI - His manager is the division head and Managing Director.
Why I think my manager tries to move me out?
- I am 18 YOE with a technically strong background
- Upper mgmt is starting to identify me as the backup for all systems. My manager tries to move me out since then

Is it totally weird to request another meeting after getting a job offer to make sure it's a right fit? 🤔

I've noticed that sometimes I still have lingering questions. ❔

I've been burnt out by toxic work environments, so I don't want to make another mistake. 🙄

How would you handle this logistics of this meeting? (Timing - after the offer but with time before you start? How to phrase the reason why?)

Thanks! 🔅☺️

Hi. So I'm about to begin employment with United HealthGroup. It will be for Medicare recipients. I have some years experience with Medicaid. Any advice? I know, at first, it'll be working on the phones. Any thoughts also on how to get off the phones or how to move into other positions? Thank you.

What is the market like for entry level data scientists/ data analyst. I have a graduate certificate in data science and have spent the last 27 years as a mainframe dev so I have great SQL skills.

Thoughts on these compact SUV : Jeep Cherokee vs Mazda cx5 vs bmw X1?

I am currently a care coordinator with one of the big insurance companies. I want off the phone, I have been applying for Rn jobs in utilization but have not gotten the last 5-6-7 I applied for, I lost count… I am thinking more analytics and business side of things now. I finished my MSN LM to maybe stand out from the large amount of applicants they get. BUT I have no experience in analytics.. so I have a chance? How do I get training in tableau, sql, interqual, project management, alteryx..

Is there any room to negotiate pay rates with state hospitals that have set rates based on level of experience? Also what are the pros and cons of working for state teaching hospitals?

What are the best agencies ( travel) for RN with one year of CVICU experience? Thank you

Hi there. I am an Operating Room Nurse thinking about pursuing my Masters in Healthcare Informatics. Is there a position for this career path that I can take while completing my graduate studies?

Put all your money in crypto. It’s done going down.

My favorite week in Miami is coming up! Hope you folks in brickell don’t mind the 45 minute wait for Ubers lol

Any good bottomless brunch recommendations in manhattan?

Juniors... When will you figure out that some patience and team loyalty advances your career more quickly than chasing every shiny thing?

My contribution to advertising today: confirmed that the 2017 was changed to 2019.

You’re all welcome.

Went to look for my first Omega, think I’m getting a Grand Seiko “Winter” instead.

For overseas ACCA accountants who have relocated to the US and have become US CPA's, how do you compare the difficulty level of the ACCA exam versus the CPA exam ?

What are your thoughts about putting an explanation for the current gap (as in, I haven’t been working for several months) on your resume, LinkedIn profile or cover letter? If you think it should be included in one of these places, how would you do it?

Hi what questions do they ask for data analyst role? I have a test for the role with two questions. Thanks

Breakfast food is so much better and energizing at lunch (11:30 - 12:30) than it is early in the morning.

I have a coworker who’s a functional alcoholic. I’ve never dealt with a situation like this before so I don’t even know if it’s my place to say something

I ordered dinner with wine at the airport. They brought me two glasses. Said it was my lucky day.

I deserved it anyway

"This program needs more proper documentation!"

In front of folks who don't understand code, you think you look smart. In front of those who know code - you're an idiot covering your incompetency.

I left my job without having anything else lined up otherwise I would have had a mental breakdown. I’m not even in that great of a financial place, but it was my job or my sanity. I know at least three other people who, in the past few months, have left with nothing lined up. I feel like it’s something we need to be talking more about. This isn’t normal for people to be doing this right?

The new swatch ads make no sense to me. Skin Irony? Wtf?

I’m white.. and a man. Shhh, don’t tell anyone.

I don’t get paid to write advertising. I get paid to sit through meetings like these. Kill me.

I like to think of myself as calm but really I’m just dead inside.

Gotta love when a client doesn’t catch their own mistakes until the final round and then asks why you fucked it up....

Wow hate the overuse of “from a ______ perspective"

Has anyone ever found their work in someone else’s portfolio? What did you do?

Just discovered a public slack channel (that very much should have been private) that a few women at my work have been using to bitch about the co-workers they don’t like. There’s a lot of very mean posts about several of the CDs, account people, producers etc. There’s quite a few hateful posts about me and my partner too 🙈 should I tell them?

Good lord this open space is insufferable

I make poor decisions

It makes me intensely uncomfortable when I hear people who should know better misusing the word “myself.” As in “please cc Kate and myself on your email.”

After nearly a year WFH and being with my family 24/7, I’m not entirely sure we actually like each other. Or maybe they don’t like me being at home. Or they don’t like me. Probably the latter 😞

I can smell your desk from the bathroom
