Hi fishes,
I’m a fresher and have recently completed my internship as an Operations manager at Amazon. I am currently looking for FT opportunities. I came across and opening at Maersk for the role of Business Analyst. Could anyone refer me for the role or maybe point me to a suitable opportunity?
thanks!

Is it a good time to switch jobs
Hi Everyone!!
I am about to start working in ValueLabs as System Analyst (DevOps Engineer).
I am really looking forward for the same and am excited about it. Can anyone who is already working share his/her experience over there, growth perspective, culture and other useful things. Valuelabs

1) I believe you and am very sorry you are having to deal with this. 2) Interns as a rule are not a great judge of tone/workplace politics and will probably not be seen as a reliable witness in this situation. However you move forward, I would try not to cite them as evidence. Also, I could be misunderstanding the situation here, but it could be seen as a red flag that you chose to address this with the partner in front of an intern (that would not be OK at my firm).
Ah got it. Sorry again you’re dealing with this. Is there another partner you’re especially close to at the firm you could ask for advice? I’d try to frame it as you asking for advice on what you can do to improve your relationship with problem partner so it’s clear you aren’t “tattling” but then at least someone else in leadership is aware of the issue. I’ve seen that be helpful where other partnes know he’s a problem already…they probably won’t do anything against him but could give you some protection if he tries to say you have attitude issues in a review. But whether this is worth doing really depends on how good of a relationship you have with the other partner.

I completely believe that you are right and that you are being treated badly. However, this kind of thing is incredibly difficult to address and unfortunately your best option is to look to move on. I’m very sorry.

I am so sorry you experienced this. Do you have a diversity coordinator at your firm to talk to about how to handle this?
I’ll also post this in the Women of Color in Law bowl, for further reach. (https://joinfishbowl.com/post_4ii9v4449i)
I would distance myself from this partner, keep everything in writing from now on, and try to find other teams to work with. Keep a journal of incidents like this, in case you need to consult with an employment attorney.
The diversity coordinator is not there to protect your interest. Resign. Guard your peace. I’m speaking from experience. You’ve been warned.
There is nothing for you to do unfortunately. If some conversation or anything could solve this, we probably wouldn’t have had sexist in a workplace at this point. Do you have other partners you can work with? If yes, I would simply look to quietly become too busy to work with this man. Otherwise, get the experience and lateral at the earliest opportunity.
Hi, I am so sorry you are experiencing this. I went through a similar situation a few years ago (he would ask me to do A, I would do A, and then he would be shocked when I did not also do X, Y, and Z (as if I could read his mind or something)). My advice is to get directions in email. If he asks you to do something orally, send him a follow up email: “just want to confirm that you want A, B, C by [date]”. Always CYA and put everything in writing because it’s his word against yours.

Resign. They have a history of this. Read the past reviews.
