My manager hasn't spoken a word to me in four days because I asked for a deadline extension. I can see her chatting and laughing with everyone else on the team, but when I enter the room, the temperature literally seems to drop. It’s this weird, middle-school level of passive-aggression that makes me feel like I’m walking on eggshells every second I’m at my desk. Has anyone else dealt with a boss who uses the silent treatment as a way to punish employees for setting basic boundaries?

Try not to let it get to you. Their behavior is their own baggage. It may be a test to see if you’ll cave. Don’t. The earlier you set boundaries, the better!

Sounds like you work for a trash manager, look for a better job.

Hello. I am interested in pivoting into a SalesForce career and started studying for the Admin cert and updated my LinkedIn. I applied for a sales ops role with an org that is rolling out SalesForce and I would be a SalesForce analyst training users, helping the team rollout SF, etc. I have some previous experience in a similar role. I am now in the offer stage. What type of range should I be seeking? This is a hybrid role on the East Coast. Thanks.

How do you get leverage as an internal transfer? A buddy of mine with similar experience and location received an external offer for nearly $100k TC more than my internal offer for the same role. I haven’t accepted it yet, and I’ve already caused a stir in my previous org. Should I accept an offer I’m already bitter about? Is my only recourse to now leave the company? Leaving would hurt both my previous org and new org.

I have worked in marketing for about 6-7 years. First few years were in social media management. My goal is to work at a big tech company.

I’ve heard mixed results about the ROI of earning an MBA. My near future goal is to move into a Marketing Director (or senior manager) role.

1) How much does Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. value MBAs in the hiring process?

2) Anyone currently working at the companies above with only a BBA?

Current situation: Marketing Manager, 90k, NYC.
