Practising Catholic here - I don’t understand what specific catholic challenges I have at work? The biggest issue for me is the annoying Cardinal Pell and other rape jokes.

Mainly it’s smiling and changing the subject when colleagues repeat common misconceptions about the church and its teachings. If someone prosecutes the case to me because they know I’m a practicing catholic, I’ll politely dismantle the argument , not that people want to accept that they were sold a bill of goods. But I live in a fairly intolerant secular area (urban west coast).

Also we are not allowed to send greeting cards or share religion based tidbits in the office these days. Thinking about Easter egg bunnies, hot cross buns and Christmas cards. It’s not a challenge and certainly we don’t have to expose ourselves to the unwanted attention, just thinking that it would be nice to share the joy of the risen Lord especially during Easter. Also the chance to correct people when they think that Christmas is the birth of Santa Claus!

I’m have a new theory about why juniors always feel like idiots and wanted to see if anyone else thinks this makes sense. I’m a third year, and am the most junior person all of my teams (generally me, a senior or two, and a partner or two), and I always feel like I’m messing something up. Is this just because I never get to work with other juniors and don’t see the mistakes they make, and that it’s relatively normal? And FWIW I went to HYS and I’ve had a clerkship so it’s not like I’m not smart

I once called someone in the 'C' suite out for being completely disorganized. I followed it up by offering project management advice. The conversation got pretty heated.

I don't regret it and would do it again, just maybe a little more tactfully but I was looking out for my operation and one of the managers that reports to me.

Hi all,
Need some advice.
I got the highest offer from LnT worth 17, but I can try for some more comapnies and get higher offers.
But ,I also want to retain in capgemini if they match the package.
Should I stop interviews & approach my manager or should I wait for him to call me again ? He had already called once saying he would match the package.
Am I being too greedy if I ask for 18/19 to retain?Or should I just ask for 17 so that repport between me and my manager remains intact?
