I confronted my boss about going back on his word to me. Luckily, I had written proof of him doing it. I told him that we needed to handle this and solve this. He knew he was cornered and apologized.

Having a paper trail is always good!! Even Bcc yourself on something that you feel maybe important down the road!

I was not being paid for my overtime, and it got brushed off multiple times. I confronted them telling them that I felt overlooked and disrespected. The issue was fixed a few days later and I got my money.

need advice.

I have been working in an interim role as a portfolio manager. I was promised that the role would be mine. However, after doing the job for 2 months, I have been advised that we might not get the funding for the role and I might not get the raise and the title but my responsibilities will be the same.

Its a political minefield.

How should I back out elegantly that I need to be compensated fairly and competitively from this mess without burning any bridges

Should I prioritize getting a rec from my current senior manager who doesn’t know me super well (worked together 3 months so far) but generally likes me...

What you should do when dealing with a very toxic worker that keep on sending passive aggressive messages to you as well as in group chat and email.
Things like when you answer his question he respond: I know that
Or when he keeps on saying my change requests were just minor in group meeting but actually not.
And keep on saying how hard he works when he clearly wasn’t and already underperformed compared to an intern level.

How to not let this toxic co-worker not poison me any further?

My annual perf discussion is monday morning. I work on a tough team for a tough place.

I try to tell myself he has 6 direct reports and has to do this with everyone, Im no more or no less special - but I hate these convos and negative feedback even when most of it is unsurprising/fair feedback. Any tips? Just need to get through it! HR people are not immune!

Hi. People Manager here. I've been one for 12 years now and I encourage my team to not be "yes" people. At this time, it feels like my manager wants me and my team to be yes people for her.

Hi Fishes,

I have attended two interviews with cognizant for the same role. From that, I have got an offer letter from one panel and I am discussing with the HR about to make some salary revise.
Unfortunately, the second panel also processed my profile and it got short listed and they come back for a talk to process the offer letter. Now the first panel HR called me and asked about the second process why it got happened.
Does this results in any drawback for the offer letter i have got already?
