Performance reviews coming up. I’ve been told I’m underpaid. But also, many things about the firm I’m at have been less than stellar. Nothing but poor quality “hot potato” type cases being fed to me, lack of advancement despite solid performance, etc. I want to impart that I’m very unhappy with many things, but don’t want to seem like a flight risk to where they’d just start looking for a replacement. I also feel like if I’m not stern, I’ll get steamrolled. Any advice?

Never tell them you’re discontented. Fix up your resume, and start applying. You don’t say what your salary is but I suspect if you told us your salary and YOE we’d all tell you to leave and not look back.

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min. Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?

I am looking to make a career change to HR. I currently make 75K as a sales and development coach. I had a recent offer for a state government position in a talent acquisition role but I’d be taking a $25K pay cut. I am extremely over qualified for the position but it could possibly be a stepping stone and gives me the time to acquire SHRM certifications and possibly start taking classes to get my MBA. My question is those currently in an HR role, would this move make sense to you?
