Need help. I’ve been notified that layoffs may be required in the company this year. Execs are starting to look around and see where unneeded headcount and open bandwidth is.
Every member of my small team (5 designers) is valuable, but I’m not sure if I have the right tools or reports in place to prove it - so much of our work is around communication and strategy- not just tickets. Recommendations on how to proactively defend my team? Has anyone faced this kind of impending doom before?

Hey everyone! Fairly new to the city and looking for some cool restaurants to try out. What are some of your favourite places around the city?

15+ years experience in Forensic Accounting. What would be considered fair pay in the NYC area? Average yearly Billings was 2,500, however recently took over the building out of systems, training younger staff, more marketing in a set region; basically more non billable work.

Equity. Equality. Tolerance. All three are important. All three are being overused and I fear people will become complacent due to this. What about ACEs? What about SEL? What about deferential instruction? School family? DAP? Achievement gap? Am I the only one who feels that way?

What things *can you negotiate when purchasing a new car? What things *should you negotiate always? Any differences in negotiation approach when buying used? Seems like I can afford considerably less, given the current interest rates 😭 Currently financing a car at 1.9% and it's killing me to buy, but I've had nothing but issues with the used car I bought.

I worked in tcs and couldn't learn a lot, and didn't earn much either. Straight C bander I had been.
I switched recently and I am under stress because I am not able to do literally anything.
I work and i know stuff, but definitely not everything. My first impression on the client might be "Slow/Wrong Hire".

I don't know what to do... I am not sure what will happen here on out :(

How do I close my robinhood account? I don't have any stocks there. But have transferred funds from my checking. I need to get the funds out of RH back into my bank account. What is the best way to do that?

Looking for recommendations of at home workout videos for first trimester pregnancy. Please share any that work well for you.

What’s the best way of encouraging young team members to actually disconnect during their time away? I have some individuals that will not take actual vacations, they say, “I’ll have my laptop and phone”. My response is “please leave your laptop at home and turn off teams and outlook phone notifications. If there is an emergency and we have a question only you can answer, we can call or text. we’ve got this.”

And then they teams checking in 2 days later 🤦🏼‍♀️

I set up a call today with an even more senior leader (I am an EVP) and asked him for advice on navigating the political waters of our global workplace. He was so honest and helpful it was .....amazing. I don't think I expected it to be so genuinely helpful. I highly suggest you reach above for advice if needed. Sometimes it works!

Does anyone have experience sitting on boards? I’m interested in doing this at some point in my career, but am not sure how to get started and what’s typically required (both qualifications and work involved)

Got an opportunity for a Director role that will oversee a new and major changes across the org but won't have people under me. Should I be worried?

Hi all. I’m a ux designer at a small company and need to recruit a few people for usability testing. Our target demographic is people over the age of 35 who’ve been in leaderships positions. If you’re interested I’ll send the link- the test will take about 15-30 minutes and pays 20$. No human interaction required.

Our company is going through a major transformation and there is quite a bit of resistance due to uncertainty and lots of broken promises. Are there any books you would recommend on how to change corporate culture and help employees adapt to change?

What are your biggest frustrations with the wellbeing/burnout prevention initiatives that you’ve seen?

Working my way up the corporate ladder. I have so many thoughts on leadership and want to initiate changes in the departments I work with. But at this level it's so difficult. Ppl are so resistant to change.

My key learning thus far in my career: Noone gives a shit about your ideas unless you're a head honcho. Real change is brought about from a position of authority.

Does anyone have recommendations on an approach to get frequent feedback on employee sentiment across your teams?

I lead a global team of ~70 and growing. Most of the team is deployed to major company initiatives and pressure is high. We do big annual employee surveys, but I'm looking for good ways to get more regular feedback at scale.

What's your opinion on restricted stock?

Not sure where to put this, but I’m curious to hear your thoughts here on what smaller Saas companies should expect or prepare for this economic downturn.

How do senior leaders/ executives manage their career and find the next opportunity?

I took the role I am in about a year ago and it just has not been what was promised and a huge step back. I have found a good place and am content but not overly happy with my place in the company. A smaller competitor reached out for a vp position that is a huge step up responsibility wise. There would be a pay raise but not huge so money is not the motivator here. Is this crazy to seriously consider? I hate to burn bridges. I have been told I am on the partner fast track. Thoughts? Advice?

How do you let go of the need to be liked by subordinates? I have a people pleasing streak.

How long on average have you all stayed in one position? How about tenure at each company?

Has anyone worked with an executive recruiter or headhunter to identify opportunities and support placement into a new role? Any referrals? Specifically in the digital product, innovation or design field.

Hello! I’d like to share an experience and hopefully receive guidance.

I spent two years as an executive, and while I was providing what I believe was impactful work, and receiving praises across the board, I got fired from one day to the other without any explanation.

After a few weeks, some managers (who were under me) shared that there had been a while campaign raised against me for a couple of months by others VPs and shareholders. 1/2

Prepping for a CRO interview with the CEO of a smaller tech company (approx 70 employees) experiencing explosive growth. They want someone to run sales, alliances, & marketing, with heavy influence around product development so not really a traditional CRO role. Working on prep and curious if anyone has any ideas around questions I should be prepared to answer? Questions I should ask? Seems like an interesting role that should be a good fit with my background. Other thoughts?

I’m currently considering an offer and am finding that all online compensation benchmarking is falling flat in terms of understanding how I should be looking at comp for this role. I’d value your advice on how to access cleaner comp data and/or how you might look at comp for this role: Chief People Officer for a $2.5BIL revenue ($150MIL net income) global organization. 50,000 employees. USA based. Looking for Total Comp and cash targets/benchmarks.
