Received an internal role and my current leader is completely losing her marbles over it. 9/16 should have been the two week start date but she’s trying to negotiate for 10/1 or later. Also has immediately done a 180 and saying I’m no longer working, dropping the ball, etc. even though I haven’t missed any previously set deadline or current work. Any advice for how to handle this? I really worry now about her saying something to my new leader.

Has it ever happened to you that you meet someone and they say they want a “LTR” however they don’t even put the effort to say hi or ask you things?

I am so sick and fed up with some of the older clients at my job. I know it's my responsibility to take care of them, but they're just so sexist sometimes.

Was sending photos of my cat in his Halloween costume to my friend group and accidentally dropped them into the client group chat. Old-school CPG client lead was not amused. Turns out he hates cats

Recently joined.. How to know who is our HR..whom to take concerns with..like need to switch project..etc..

Honest question: Are you intentionally mentoring anyone who doesn't look like you? And I'm not referring to your randomly assigned counselees. Type Y or N.

My manager got hired with 0 actual sales experience, comes from operations and marketing. It’s impossible to take any of his advice seriously, he ends team meetings and messages with “always be closing”. Like tf you know about closing, go back to making your PowerPoints.

I live in downtown Seattle and a client just closed an email to me with “Hope you’re having a great weekend!” Um, what?

I was on a tour but where I asked a couple of older women sitting behind me to speak softly as it was 6:30 am in the morning. After that they kept saying loudly that i’m smelling and that i need to use deo and that i should keep my arm down. I confronted them later and they said respect your elders?? I want to ruin their vacation. What else can I do?

Used to be in a quant group. We had an underperforming staff who we let go. He claimed to HR he was discriminated against bc he was an MBA. To which they responded: that's not a protected class.

How do you recommend dealing with a partner senior to you trying to do anything possible to push you out, force you to quit, or get you fired for years? Owner knows my abilities and likes me (contd)

How to handle working with someone who frustrates you immensely? I work with someone who is one level above me hierarchically and is an ultimate micromanager (not one agenda or recap can be without edits) and is rude about establishing that they have dominance. The more senior leaders on the team are awesome and so is the client. It’s this one coworker who just got promoted and is now stepping on me constantly. Thanks!

What is everyone's Monday routine? Looking for ways to get things off to a good start with my team.

Who else hates their job and wants to shove their boss’ head in the toilet?

Recommender asked me if I wanted to write my LOR and have them sign off. I don’t think it’s a matter of laziness but they wanted to be sure they accurately captured what they needed to. Would you just ask her to run a first pass and offer to review after?

I was released without cause today but my boss mentioned my battle with mental health and that I’m looking for other jobs before canning me. Should I address this with the board or leave it alone?

Second year associate here. How should I deal with the one partner in my practice group who seems to exclusively give me lousy assignments that we’ll never get paid for? I get great work from everyone else.

I am in Team A and I work for projects handled in Team B. A handles a completely different product than B. I have been strategically placed in A as I'm in a quality related role & they didn't want me be reporting to the same manager as the project team

Now my concern is, my manager at A doesn't have any insight about my role, or how I perform, or what kind of opportunities that can be given me
How do I politely convey this concern to him?

(He is a first time manager & I just joined recently)

Gave my notice, HR pushed my term date up, then goes back on what they said because they realized they needed bodies to help out. 🙄 like why didn’t you double check with the scheduler and teams earlier. literally stated it in my email too. I can’t wait to leave 🥳

I’m new to the firm. My third project my manager was very hands off. He’s wants to have a discussion with me about my performance. He did not give me any support to work with; even when I asked! And my direct manager agrees with him, but it was my third week. What to do? I feel like I’m going to say something crazy. Any advice?

I posted this somewhere else before I remembered that I am in this bowl :) so, I changed jobs 6-7 months ago and I am realizing it is not a good fit. Leadership seem to not want to hear the truth so people tell them what they want to hear and if you don’t middle management gets pissed at you. I am seriously thinking about looking somewhere else. My question is how do you answer the “why are you looking to leave” question without bad mouthing your current company?

“Experienced Hire” with 7 years of advisory technology consulting. Possibly looking to switch firms. Have no idea if I’m in the range, over or under market level on comp. What’s a good going rate for base plus bonus range? Currently 150k base with about 25 in bonus, but the bonus has accelerators which puts me closer to 180/190 in total comp.

What should I expect during my call with Deloitte’s recruitment advisor? I received a verbal offer last week, and a meeting invite this week with the advisor. Is this typically where salary and signing bonus are negotiated? If so, can anyone share insights into the typical base range for experienced hires going into Consultant positions (2yrs experience w/ undergrad)?

How do you deal with imposter syndrome? I'm a new therapist and I work with a bunch of women who have been doing this for ages. They're all really sweet, but I can't help feeling like I'm way out of my league. I mostly see younger clients which I guess works in my favor, but I just feel like I'm totally incompetent compared to the women I work with.

There was interest on another thread to get folks in Dallas networking and connected post COVID. I setup a WhatsApp group if you’re interested in connecting. See thread

What type of equipment are J.P. Morgan hybrid roles provided with ? (For employees that actually receive equipment and don’t have to buy it themselves )

Is it just me or have you also noticed that during the endless back to back zoom/teams meetings, people drift away and not take down action points?

What should I do now ? Or I will get the offer Lett from HCL or not ?

Hi Fishes, got a job in ByteDance Goregaon East Nesco IT We Work Building. Need to relocate by 15th September. Budget is 10k. Please help ! Female here. Need working female roommates only. Serious leads are welcome 👍

I just accepted an offer for a smaller niche shop in a smaller city and I'm so pumped about it. Hardly a confession, but I don't really have that many people I can share my excitement w/ before I quit

This open office plan sucks. Besides the constant din, we've got 3 agencies crammed on to one floor, sharing conference rooms and huddle rooms. Agency identity is lost and it feels like an ad factory

Hearing the sir Martin announcement today, makes you wonder if he is a crazy old guy or a brilliant marketer
