My partner wants to catch up and see how things are going. I am on a shitty job, 80% of the team left over the past few months and I am already interviewing since an internal transfer isn’t happening anytime soon. Do I just pretend that everything is fine and hit them with a 2 week notice hopefully in the next few weeks or tell them how I actually feel?

Keep that hand to yourself. What benefit do you think telling them now gives you besides just getting it off your chest?

Strike a balance. Don't complain to vent but be semi transparent with how the turbulence you're describing is making an already tough job even more difficult.

If you really have one foot out the door, you have nothing to lose by being honest. Maybe not brutally honest, but open and straightforward.

I’ve been at this a long time, in public, to industry, and back to public. It is a small world and you are likely to work with these people again in some capacity. Do you want to be viewed as the dick that lied and left in two weeks, or the professional that gave an honest opinion, stuck to your principles, and left for something better? No one will ever hold that against you.

What is your ultimate goal?

If you are a high performer and they are short staffed, I’d tell them you’re not happy on the job you’re on. I’d even ask to be transferred to the service line you want otherwise you don’t know how much longer of this you can take. Say it all more professionally but if 80% people have left what are they gonna do, fire you? 🤔 they’re already short staffed. Say you really like the firm and hope you can transfer internally

Friends, need some feedback on an idea:

I’m thinking of starting a podcast interviewing leaders at startups about their experience with specific challenges - I know, cliche, get a more original hobby, etc.

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.

What are your thoughts on this format?

I was hired on with a company at the same time as my male coworker. We work the exact position, different projects.
I asked him flat out what his salary was when he hired on. His salary is at minimum 15% more. He’s never had a raise.
Neither one of us had any experience in this specific position but he didn’t even have experience in the field, which I did.
I requested a performance and salary review because it’s my annual review time anyway. Best way to address this? Also applying elsewhere.

I am seriously worried. I am doing my co-op and my supervisor is not giving me an easy time. I am trying to do my best even with very little direction and this supervisor constantly harassing my about things like her not being able to use google meet or to remember passwords. I feel bullied and very anxious. I am afraid she can jeopardize my visa with a bad evaluation. I have been working at midnight, on Sunday mornings but I am human, I make mistakes, she just blames me instead of teaching.

I have been talking to a recruiter for a little over a month about a position. I let her know out the gate that I really wasn’t looking to change jobs, but she just kept wanting to continuing the conversation. I didn’t have 2 interviews with the hiring coming and they know that I am not really looking to make a switch. They are now working on an offer letter and I know they’re going to offer me more money. I’m having my annual review this week. Any advice on how to handle a) job offer b) review?
