Do you dress up to go into the office?

My manager nominated me for judging a small programme happing virtually with two other head of the Department, but when I joined the programme someone from office outside was included for that with director and those two HODs were also not there... I prepared my speech, well dressed up but when hosts announce the name of judges I felt bad... he could have atleast informed me... everytime he does the same kind of thing and than says in corporate sector types of politics happens...

What is a common holiday gift for staff in a smaller biglaw office other than assistants? Thinking helpful IP person, receptionist, etc? Just cash in a card?

I know HR says you should report it but I’m paranoid that if I report a colleague that’s been harassing me, I’ll be viewed as a rat. (Most guys are immature/harmless but he’s actually being malicious)

Dear Nappily Ever After,
No one has an office, much less an assistant. Creative and account are different jobs with their own dress codes. But dumb, off brief ideas by white creatives do win.

If an employee files a complaint about workplace behavior, do you treat them differently? I'm faced with reporting an SM for bullying and finding it near imposible to believe that it won't (cont'd)

Working with a Junior AD who’s too opinionated & doesn’t respond to my feedback well. He’ll just show ideas that I’ve already debunked/scripts that aren’t very good, which makes me look bad. Advice?

How bad is it to leave an understaffed team right before fall busy for a job in a new city? Part of me doesn’t care at all b/c it’s a business decision, part feels like I’m totally screwing the team.

Met this really cute guy at national training, exchanged phone number, but he's heading back to home office tomorrow. Advice?

Feeling like it's only a matter of time before I have to tell the new marketing dept head that the snazzy jargon just makes him sound like a tryhard and alienates our customer base

Could someone please suggest how to handle this situation?
My manager (Technology Director) sees me as an emerging thread to his position and stopped sharing details / trying to avoid including me in visible projects etc.,
FYI - His manager is the division head and Managing Director.
Why I think my manager tries to move me out?
- I am 18 YOE with a technically strong background
- Upper mgmt is starting to identify me as the backup for all systems. My manager tries to move me out since then

I've worked with the client for over 7 months now and he still calls me by my dad's name
What do I do 😭😂

Do you guys give your boss's New Years' gifts? I'm thinking of doing one since I didn't give a holiday gift but thought it maybe weird

What level of watch is acceptable to wear to work? Not sure if office vs client site also impacts

Thinking about getting a Speedmaster Pro moon chrono (one with skeleton case back). Good value? Could I wear as a daily wearer to client?

How do you deal with clients who act like they know more than you even though they don't?

Not going to mention the firm or the engagement but heard that a senior manipulated a PBC to agree to their work paper and was curious if this happens more often than I thought. Am I naive to be in shock about this?!

Interviewed recently with @VillageMD. Anyone have any insight about the remote Medical assistant positions? Preferably someone who does or did work in that type of position with this company. How was the workload? How much time is usually spent on the phone answering calls?

Hi everyone. I'm in the process of building a SaaS startup. Someone with SaaS experience has advice on marketing the product for B2B?

First time in negotiation but offer is for $25k more, $90k-> $115k. Guaranteed 25% bonus. They seem hard to budge but is that worth a jump? I know it’s about an extra $1300/month for base

Thinking of what else could be negotiated

Hi Guys, How is Capgemini Invent? Is it a different company or SL? How are its projects and opportunities?

Hi folks,
I have recently joined capgemini.
Is it worth opting for bus pass if we're working in hybrid mode? Bcoz i think any way if we opt for, the company will deduct whole month specific amount under conveyance allowance.

Can anyone tell me the procedures after submitting my employee form in portal. How the onboarding and next steps will be.

What are exits for tech transfer? Have an opportunity, but idk if I want to work for university commercialization offices for the rest of my life

I put in a lot of effort to show my client properties that fit their requirements, but they ended up working with a different agent just because they wandered across an open house. I'm so frustrated right now. Has anyone else experienced this?

The recruiter for freelance at Havas is the worst. She’ll email and ask for my availability then ghost. Also brought me in for an interview & didn’t even tell them I freelanced there before.

D&G - Nicole Gordon
Flaked on 2 calls she set up, blamed time difference since EST & PST are so hard to distinguish then silence, but weeks later reaches out via LinkedIn about the same opportunity

Ghosting after on-site interviews is despicable. Recruiting has been a part of my job for years in addition to resourcing & project management, and I would always manage to reply emails.

MDC - Annie Warren

Scale of 1-10, how crazy is it to check-in email the CDs you interviewed with? Unless there’s been a terrible accident I’m pretty sure the recruiter is ghosting me. The not knowing is killing me!

Gmails “nudge” feature does a real good job in reminding who’s ghosting me at the moment.

Jamie Engelmann at VB&P is a repeat offender.

Email response from a resume submission requesting times to chat and that she's " really looking forward to speaking with me." Three email replies later - crickets. I'm so tired of this shit...

Had interviews at three different places recently, all of which seemed to go well. Recruiters/HR people told me they’d be in touch with next steps end of last week or early this week. Haven’t heard from any of the three and none of them have responded to follow-up emails 🙃

Nicole at AKQA NY. Beyond bad.

Code and Theory

I’m ghosting a recruiter and it feels great!

R/GA - they are the worst. Some of the people they have hired over the years makes me wonder if their HR department is smoking crack

Tfw a recruiter reaches out and asks if you’re around for a chat... Only to never respond to you again after you say yes. Just, why?!

Had what had to be the best call with a recruiter I’ve ever had — she seemed so excited to pass my work to her teams, received the sweetest follow up email from her, but now it seems like she’s ghosting me. UGHHHHH. Any words of wisdom or advice? Feeling bummed because I was super excited about this opportunity.

We get it, ghosting happens. But has it ever happened to you repeatedly by the same person? Cashmere Agency in LA calls me relentlessly and then ghosts me just as relentlessly. Sales Force has done it two or three times as well. I can’t help but laugh and think about how it feels like getting a text from an ex—this didn’t work out before remember? It’s only been a month I’m still me.

Johannes Leonardo. Nancy was the queen of ghosting.

Flew from London to the US for a two day interview marathon. Had one call with HR two weeks later where I was told they were gathering feedback and would get back to me asap. Never heard back. (contd)
