Has anyone been fired and then subsequently received unemployment? I was let go this week and am wondering if that is realistic to expect. Thanks!

Hi All,
I had left capgemini sometime in late 2018. In order to retrieve my ESOP investment, I am facing some issues hence trying to connect Capgemini ESOP team but not able to find their contact number and over email, they are sharing standard replies. Is it possible for any current CG employee to share concerned department contact number ?

Has anyone gotten their real ID? Which DMV location is the best to get this done and do I need to retake my photo?

Hi what is the salary rang of senior test engineer in mindtree
At c2 level of 3 YOE

How introverted are you? EVERY time I’m around a group of people I wind up exhausted. It’s almost funny. I’ve learned to be present and I can handle the room, but when I leave…100% need a nap. It’s so predictable that I even share my calendar with SO. He schedules his WFH calls to avoid that hour after my in-person meetings. Smh. Is this weird??

Hi All! Here looking for work in Healthcare Operations/Project Management. Open to FT physical position in South Florida, as well as hybrid or remote positions within the US. Looking forward to networking.

Status meetings give me anxiety.

Is it me? Southwest Airlines is more expensive than other Airlines now. Dallas Hub.

Planned a trip for my girlfriend and I in April for her birthday.
Mid June her friend booked a trip and decided to come.

We decided to split everything 3 ways.

I got the rental car and Airbnb. We had plans to do 6 large activities while we were out here. Her friend throughout the entire weekend wanted to go clubbing instead so we did that. Last night we were supposed to go to dinner. They went out to get drinks while I went back to nap for a little. I wake up to meet them for dinner cont’d..

Maybe a noob points question but if I booked two rooms for four nights and had added my Marriott Bonvoy number for both, do I get 8 nights in total or only 4? Trying to reach platinum this year and will get there if I get the 8!

Should black ppl be crafting agency’s BLM posts?
Seems RIDICULOUS to ask.

How do I say I don’t want to be involved without tiring myself out? I hate it here.

Been at Paychex(payroll) as a channel rep for 3 years. 70k salary and 110k max with commission. Love WFH but need more pay. Want to leave for more money, what's out there and what should I look into? I work I. Bay Area CA

Hi Folks,

To those who are thinking of resigning without an offer, I seriously advise you not to do so. I resigned in July due to a hectic (you can call it toxic) work culture and was confident enough to get another offer. But nothing materialized, no calls, savings money almost depleted with the EMIs, hard lesson learned!

Please try to resign only if you have an offer in hand or you're financially sound enough to survive without a job for at least a year! Cheers!

Does FANGG allow for fully remote positions? What kind of roles can I get with a background in IP litigation?

Curious to hear thoughts on how the recent rally is being perceived. Is it another of those temporary moves? Or does it reflect a view that the market bottom is behind us now?

Damn Mazepin seems really out of his league. Spun out of every session this weekend.

Co-worker 1: why are you so mean?

Co-worker 2: I’ll try being nicer if you try being smarter. Deal?

Me👂👂to 1 + 2: 😬🍿😂

“I love when young creatives like you come in here raw and just start doing it.”

“I don’t know whether to pause now and have a cry, or power through so I can have a longer, uninterrupted sob...”

What is the most annoying “buzzword” you hear on your meetings?

“It puts the em dash in the pitch deck.” Copywriter to art director, Silence of the Lambs style

“It’s not about work-life balance, but instead, work-life integration” 🙄

My colleague at work who’s in the junior parallel role / receptionist just drives me crazy. As a Marketing specialist, I oversee our social pages + following on requests from there. Yesterday she said - “Maybe you could also reply to all requests on our general customer email?” I said I don’t know how to prioritise with my main responsibilities - boss and big boss present and stayed silent. Poor time management / ignorance / passive aggression? Feel pity for her! 😡

This was on a conference call with a business partner.

"I am working from home and my kids are able to be at school since it's a private school. I guess that's what white privilege gets us."

Yeah some of us hung up at that point.

100% confirmed Apple getting into self driving Vehicles.

2nd month into current job at an SME.
Culture is weird to say the least.
Owner’s wife is in charge of HR.
Broke the meeting room door when opening it.
Colleagues are saying I should draft a letter of apology and offer to compensate if I’m planning to stay in this company.

A little background on why they’re saying that. There was once a stain on the carpet of their previous office. The employees were made to fork out the bill for the cleaning.

Continued in the comments.

Elderly account woman who wears flip-flops to work, I want to throw my shoe at you.

What would you do?

Your teammate with the same title and pay as you is at your desk all the time for help. I'm definitely open to helping - but sometimes "help" is basically the whole job - it feels like I'm doing both jobs lol and it almost feels unfair that we both get paid the same or very close (Colorado, so pay transparency). The teammate has been with the company for longer than me.

This meeting was so unproductive it could not even have been an email.

Any recommendations of your best buys when it comes to improving your WFH environment?

"we don't consider your external experience" (during a discussion about promotions) when I was actually hired on due to external experience...

“Well, I guess I’ll take myself to YouTube University and figure it out.”

“YouTube University is better than most college degrees.”

On a scale of 1-5, how upset do you have to be to apply for another job in the parking lot of your current place of employment?

How do you handle it at work when someone low key insults you but pretend it's a compliment? It keeps happening but it's not something I can directly respond to. I've debated if I'm misperceiving, but at this point, I'm pretty sure I'm not. Office brawling is not an option lol
