Say you’re on a team, and after so long, you notice a particular coworker. She is continually involved in drama and gossip. After working there so long, you watch her blatantly lie on different coworkers to turn others against them. The things she accuses them of aren’t white lies. Rather they are untrue assaults to their character that can cost them their jobs and any promotions. Eventually she does the same thing to you. Would this be an issue for HR?

It means you are in a toxic workplace. I would skip HR and look for a different job very quietly. When people show you who they are - believe them. Going to HR is only going to put a target on your back and make your time there even more unpleasant.

Honey, Mind the business that pays you and that’s your job. This doesn’t actually fit the “see something, say something criteria. Until you become a target personally, it’s just not your business. And if it get so bad that now managers are involved and HR is involved and that leads to them interviewing the entire team, then you can add what you’ve witnessed (if you want) but if this was me, I mind my business. How is your productivity? Focus on you and your job.

Why do you care if it’s an issue for HR? If they’re actively trying to attack someone’s character that’s endangering YOU. You need to tell HR abkut this situation calmly with explicit details so at least someone else is aware of what’s happening

What I meant when I asked is this for HR, was is this an issue to report to HR especially when they start to lie on me too? In other words, this wouldn’t be something that you just ignore, correct?

The last department I worked in, I witnessed quite a few contact HR for obvious mistreatment then get bullied or fired eventually, so I was making sure this was serious enough to report.

Just make sure you have enough money saved if you’re going to HR & start applying elsewhere. If the person is a manager or a manager’s fave then you could be risking losing your job. The fact that they have gotten away with gossiping shows she might be protected or maybe people are scared to report her. But they are threatening your job so you must do something. Just have proof. Maybe the first just tell HR you don’t to want mention names, so then HR will respond with a training or an announcement.

Sadly HR will favor managers, managers favorites, & people who have been there long. If they are maligning people’s character without fear, then that might be your cue to find a new role. People talk, but to do it openly is a red flag.

A Partner asked me to “monitor” her Outlook and gave me access. Basically the ask is to delete or “read” unnecessary emails/forward work to managers/forward invites to her admin. Is this normal? Never had to monitor someone else’s Outlook at my previous firm and this feels like an admin work. I am a new experienced hire (S3) FYI.

Hi I have 5+ yrs of bedside clinical research nurse experience and have been trying to pivot to the CRO world. I have applied to over 40+ positions and keep getting rejected. I have reformatted my resume to ATS but that doesn’t seem to be working either. Why is it so hard to get into the CRO industry and why is my hospital experience not translating? Thanks

Good morning everyone! I am currently working as an Occupational Therapist at a Level 1 center but am looking to pivot into the clinical research field. Can anyone give any insight into transitioning from bedside to clinic research? Everytime I look online there seems to be certificate programs that may or may not be a scam/waste of money. Would appreciate any thoughts, insight, personal experience, referral., etc.!

Thank you!
