My manager gets mad at me for sending things out without him telling me to, then he also gets mad when I don't send things out because I'm waiting for his go ahead. What the fuck...

Tell me.. biggest icks, they can be personal, professional, any gender or non or self icks (things you do that gives you internal cringe!) Side note: this is not intended to be mean or bully anyone. Just a bit of fun! I’ll go first…Self ick: when you accidentally keep speaking at the same time as someone else on a video call Non-self ick: not holding the door for people!! C’mon!!

Working at a company and they can’t seem to hold on to their female, black and people of color employees. I blinked and 3 of the people who were in my onboarding class were either fired or they left. For context I’ve been in company less than a year and there are people who have been in the company 25yrs. I’m thinking of cutting loose before it gets to my turn.

Does anyone else have team members across the country who notice your “valley girl” voice/accent?

I didn’t really know it was that noticeable until I started this remote job 😂

A mid level associate that I’m working with spoke very disrespectfully to me today. I’m an incoming third year associates Has anyone who’s been on the receiving end of jerk like behaviour raised this with anyone in the firm officially or unofficially?

My coworker always takes a super long lunch. How does he have the time to get anything done?

What is the etiquette for exit row in the middle section (think seats configured to 3-3-3)? Are people meant to climb over your legs to pass or is this reserved for the passengers who are sat there?

How does everyone use their executive admin? I was assigned one when I became GC, but I’m definitely underutilizing her. I prefer to schedule my own meetings and it’s not like I have travel to book, or expenses to submit during quarantine. She’s not capable of higher level legal tasks like my law firm secretary was.

For freelancer that work with multiple clients at once. Do you have any tools to manage calendars across different emails? Ideally, when I get a meeting invite from one client it would block my availability on my other accounts.

“We treat people like people first here so I want to tell you more about the team” Proceeds to walk me through the team chart, when each person joined, when they got married, when they had kids. End presentation, nothing added - no hobbies, no personality quirks, nothing

What day of the week is best to give notice? How much wiggle room between starting to tell people and officially sending the official email? I’m about to clear conflicts for my new job, and I’m debating telling my mentor the same day, so she can start thinking about who to staff on my cases, but waiting to tell my firm at the start of the two week notice period on Monday?

Just discovering RSD after being diagnosed as an adult. I feel like SO MUCH of my life has been impacted by this and I just never had a name for it. At work if someone gives me negative or constructive feedback it can feel like a punch in the chest even if I know it's not personal. Makes romantic relationships so hard too. What do you do to handle it especially at work?

Has anyone else ever dated a coworker?

Creative Directors, how often do you exchange numbers with your client so you have that personal channel to them. Does your account team get upset with that?

Any advice for office relationships/asking out a colleague?

Starting to develop feelings for a co-worker. We work in the same division and on the same account.

Tips for professionally quitting current role? Here's what I'm thinking, feel free to pick it apart!
-Schedule a call with boss, on a Thursday since my last day I'm planning will be two Thursdays later
-On the call tell boss I'm resigning and thank for his leadership and the opportunity I've had
-Send the letter to him right after the call
-This is where it gets fuzzy... Do I go ahead and the send letter to HR as well? Do I tell other coworkers before official announcement goes out?

Do any of you have experience with pushy coworkers? The kind who won't let you do anything without them "helping" even after you say "I've got this"? I can handle stocking the shelves by myself. So frustrating

I miss the rush of wearing a buttplug and no panties in the office

Have you tried encouraging cards highlighting their strengths? When’s the last time you said “Thank you” out loud to everyone in front of everyone? Bought lunch? Participated in a team building event? Encourage a team atmosphere and keep the lines of communication open. Just my thoughts

Off topic.

Hi all - Trying to pivot into Cybersecurity/Infosec after 7 + years of experience in Network Engineering. No security related certifications. I have enough work experience in network security to match 60-70% of job requirements for infosec positions. Capable to get CEH/OSCP certifications in a few months, but want to wait until I get my foot into the door before investing 2-3K on these certs. Any advice for me will be greatly appreciated.

Anyone here work on the Google Play side of the business?

Has anyone ever gone from agency to prod co side? If so what’s the most common transition? AP to LP? What’s the difference in pay? The prod co market seems super saturated. Any advice here?

First round virtual interview for ZS SIPA - case + behavior

Is a button down + jacket too much?
I think a polo would be too casual and think just a nice, traditional solid blue button down will work

TIA!!

I left PwC tax and joined a Tier 2 firm for some work life balance but my work life is worse than PwC. Plus I find the leadership has lost all direction and suddenly it’s in a downward spiral. I felt I should go back to PwC if they would take me back. Is this a good idea? Your thoughts

I have selected for NTT Data. Submitted all documents one week ago. I did not get the offer letter yet.

Have you found your inspiring role model in the firm, the one whom you look up to? By saying that, I am referring to someone who's strategically strong, cares ppl, and knows how to handle the client.
