My coworker consistently comes in 30min -1hr late every day. Plus they have the balls to take long 1hr or more lunches AND leave early. Our manager doesn't seem to notice. How do I bring this up?

The new junior on my team is from the South and refers to me as “Sir” and it’s making me feel all kinds of ways. How to proceed from here?

The old administrator at my department won't allow me to write on what I want, even though I thought that was implicit when I joined. Can I push her to allow me to take control of my research?

How does one go about resignation in the remote setting?

Should i email my boss then follow up with a call? Or the other way around?

The "confrontation" is really difficult for me lol. I actually like my current boss and she's been helpful and made me feel like she looks out for me too. But the new opportunity is too good to pass up on (huge increase to pay. No concerns on the team since ive worked with those people in the past in a different company)

Hi All! What pre boarding processes do you find most effective in your place of work to keep a new hire an engaged employee?

Happy Halloween, my fellow Tech Pros! I love this Holiday, anyone come up with a creative costume to wear at work?

I’ll be asking my last job for a letter of recommendation but I’m not sure who to ask. My boss, who is lovely and would write an amazing LOR. Or my boss's boss who would put minimal effort in but it would have more weight.

I am only 4 months into being a surgical coordinator. I love the position itself however I am struggling to adapt into my new work environment. My position puts me in a place where I need to interact with my new coworkers but they are not as welcoming as I expected. There is also another surgical coordinator however I have come to find from other staff that there is a long history of her running other staff away and not fully training other surgical coordinator staff properly. Any suggestions?

Sorry if this offends anyone.

Have any of you guys had to deal with “high school jocks” at your firm?

These guys at my firm seem to have the same high school mentality and style of jokes.

Colleague said “oh hello, who the fuck are you?” When I brought up what I guess was an unwanted opinion. This was years ago when I was more junior.

Just switched to advisory and working directly with a talented SM time to time. How can I show humble but also not acting like know nothing? (Say you have related work experience and did some hw...)

I was hired to work on one account as the only writer. Told they’re handing me another account (or they may hire another writer). I need and want more responsibility and $$. How to negotiate??

I’m a copywriter and I’m shite at writing cover letters, which makes me feel like a fraud. Any other writers feel this way? Any advice?

ATTENTION!! I’m looking for creative directors (art and copy) to work on some pretty amazing clients with our R/GA California office. Whether you’re solo or partnered up, I want to talk to you. And if that’s not you (right now), point your friends in my direction ☺️ 👏🏾☺️👏🏾

Tips for how to start off on a good foot at a new job? Also on how to balance that with taking ownership of the work/asserting yourself, especially when the people there are used to you freelancing (which was less assertive, and similar work but a lower title)… thanks!

One year in NYC—24, enjoyed myself, but no deep connections with new friends/partners. Came to hopefully open the door on a variety of opportunities, but something tells me that spending another year here will not help that. Money flies, space is cramped, not thrilled with my office, hate winter. I miss LA a lot—I miss driving, the weather, the space, people...but everyone tells me I have to give NYC at least 2 years. Thoughts?

What do you include in your competitive audits? (Not creative)

Looking for a product marketer role in NL.

Anyone work at Spotify or someplace similarly music-centric (Tidal, Apple Music)? What’s the lifestyle / WLB like? How’s your team?

Would moving from a firm to an employee relations position mean that I never secure an in-house employment law position? Or would such a move better position me to go in-house one day? I am having difficulty transitioning from a labor & employment firm to an in-house role, and so I am exploring alternatives while keeping in mind my future career trajectory.

The Country needs our prayers.

I'm having trouble getting promoted. Many people tell me my designs are more senior level, I now throw my phone in my desk, and I'm more punctual but I'm not really sure how to wow them.

Recently quit, the company I’m leaving has mandated work from office days. If you were me would you still go in during your final two weeks?

Performance review is this week & boss already primed me (trice) abt a time mgmt/prioritization improve plan. I can’t begin to express (but attempt to in comment👇) how wildly out of context this fbk comes considering this flaming 💩 dumpster 🔥 of a workplace situation. Advice: - How do I get through BS mtg w/out hitting mgr w/a R/antiwork-style ✌🏻🖕🏻”bye Felicia”?! Ps. I’m an f’ing adult & welcome fdbk when it’s even mildly in touch w reality.

I’m really interested in Account Planning, which my company doesn’t have. What do I need to know to break into that role? Is it typically a (semi) stable position?

Tips for writing a bio to sound credible without saying things like, “award winning art director”? I’m judging an award show, just need something short.

My current title has shifted between Junior Art Producer, Art Producer, and Art Buyer pretty arbitrarily. Since I’m the only “producer” at my agency I handle projects ranging from photo to video to...

I’ve asked about my so called promotion and I just keep getting more into the future dates. Also company is trying to make their # so cutting down on costs. At this point I gave up on asking...is it

Looking to leave my job and start my own boutique agency out of my garage - literally. My 2 roommates cover copy and art, and I’m a strategist. We’re a group of 1st years at Brandcenter and are a little worried we won’t be taken seriously. Any tips?

Went for an interview to meet the whole team at a possible new job. Met with five different people, but have not heard back in 3 days. Are they collecting the feedback...or am I being ghosted?

Is Word or PDF format resume more compatible with ATS? P.S. I have invisible tables underline my resume. Please advise. THANKS!!

I started a new account job at an agency. I’ve been here for about 2 months & I hate it. To put it simply, its an absolute mess. Does it look bad to other agencies if I jump ship after only 2 months?

Just how bad would it be to quit without a two week notice? I’ve been bait & switched into a horrible role, overworked to the point of having medical problems, and no amount of diplomatic talks with my manager has improved the day to day. My mental health and my personal relationships have been on a steady decline.

I don’t have another job lined up yet. But I’m danger close to quitting and taking my chances with freelance. Could it be worth it?

I have a wee crush on one of the partners in my firm and I thought he liked me too, but neither of us did anything about it (which is entirely appropriate). That was all pre-Rona. Now I’m leaving the firm and pursuing another opportunity and staying in the same city. Since he’ll no longer be my boss, is there a way to find out if my feeling was correct? How should I go about this? (Especially given Rona?)

I’m stuck at a transitional point in my career where I can’t figure out a direction that I feel excited about. Does anyone have resources, books, career coaches, etc. that may help me find clarity?

I’m sure this is not a unique situation, but would love y’all’s advice! I love my current agency and the work is easy and ngl it’s a big name and looks impressive on a resume. But, I’m currently being offered a new job at a small agency and the money is so so good, it would be a 60% raise and a title change. I’m so torn, I don’t want to risk what I currently have, but I’m so tempted… would you leave a good place for a ton of $$?
