New Year's resolutions anyone? I'm resolving to get promoted this year. Lol! Looking into starting with a class on LinkedIn Learning to sharpen my Excel skills. Do you think those classes/certificates are worth it or do they make any difference when applying for promotions?

That’s a smart resolution. I’ve taken a few classes through LinkedIn Learning, and they gave me confidence in meetings. Plus, it doesn’t hurt to have an extra bullet point on your resume.

Hi- I’m an hourly AA, been on the role for 6 months now and it’s my first AA job. I did not get a raise when I took the job because it was technically a demotion ( I was a team leader at a contact center). I assist two VPs and now they want to add a third because they’re looking for the “ 3:1 ratio “. Should I ask for a raise? Is this normal? I know another AA that handles 3+ people but idk if she’s hourly or salary. Any thoughts?

Hey! I’m new here and would like some input. I’ve been working in a new position for almost 5 months. In that time I’ve witnessed some unethical and lots of unprofessional behavior. I’ve been yelled at and berated by my coworker 3 separate times because of minor errors. I’m ready to quit. There are so many major issues in this company that I don’t know if I want to subject my mental health to this degree of toxicity. I just don’t know how to move forward from here.
