So right now I’m working with a junior who always get things done perfectly but he sometimes acts very confident. I prefer working with someone who’s less capable but more humble. How do I replace him

Recently finished a simple assignment that took forever because my cd and I weren’t aligned. He had me stray from the brief and now part if it is inconsistent with the greater piece. I just feel we’re not on the same wavelength. Which I hate because I live for collaboration and being a team player. And I joined this team at the beginning of the Covid WFH orders in March so I’ve only met him like once before. So not a tight relationship. I gotta talk to him about it. Any advice?

I’ve been working with a founder/small biz freelancing as their digital producer for a little bit. I’m having issues lately because they won’t give me a budget for content they want to make for their site/Instagram. I’m worried with the budget gate keeping that we’re going to burn bridges with contacts, especially now that we’re dipping into my personal contacts for content collaboration. Is this normal? How do I get them to give me a budget to work from?

Is it reasonable as a copy supe to be made the lead writer on the US and global business of 2 large brands, one of which is launching, with only a senior and a freelancer with no pharma experience (they’re both great) under you? Also, your supervisor just left and won’t be replaced.

To me, it feels excessive.

Put my 2 weeks in Monday 🥳 but I feel like my team is wanting me to complete a lot of stuff before I leave?? like new items on top of wrapping up/transitioning… tbh I wouldn’t care but I really like my coworker that they’re unfortunately going to pile a lot of my stuff onto when I leave - how do you balance helping but also being so unmotivated knowing you’re leaving? I want to end on a good note and not screw people over but also think it’s a literally ridiculous what they’re asking me to do

Would you feel comfortable telling HR that your service line’s culture sucks and name the individuals who cause it? Or is a better approach saying it’s the leadership in general creating a negative and toxic culture? How effective are these conversations really? Trying to assess if there’s any point in bringing this up. Obviously HR works for the company and an employee sharing their thoughts on the unsupportive, cold leaders could bite me in the long run.

I am definitely not gonna risk my career flirting with a coworker. Being fired or cancelled for that sorta thing would ruin not just my life but my family who I support. Lots of other fish in the sea over at competitor firm🧐

What are some good books to read if I want to learn how to better show up for the team as a manager?

One partner is driving me insane. I CANNOT work with him. We are far enough in the case that it would take a lot of time for someone to take over for me but still early enough that the case will be going for another 2 years. Has anyone ever asked to be pulled from a case and is there a way to distance myself from this partner without hurting my reputation? 2nd year lit associate, partner is a jr partner in a different office but we cross staff a lot. TIA!

Is it weird that I’m the only one at our office that enjoys suspenders? I always get compliments, and can’t seem to figure out how it’s not a thing...

The small firm I work for has a terrible turn over rate and I think it is in part due to the firm owner/managing attorney. He seems oblivious to this and always finds fault with the people who leave. Is there any good way to approach this with him or am I better off keeping my mouth shut? It’s affecting my work because I keep losing assistants and paralegals and then having to get new ones caught up.

What is the funniest and/or most awkward Zoom moment you’ve had at work?

I worked at LinkedIn and one of the senior leaders was sharing screen during a meeting. The conversation shifted but the leader didn’t stop sharing screen. This person navigated to Yahoo news and clicked on an article filled with women in bikinis. This individual spent a solid 2-3 mins on the article scrolling and stopping to look at each woman. Needless to say this leader was very distracted by other things on our call.

Hi y’all! Hope this is the right bowl to post this question and get advice. I am dealing with an employer that preaches our values. The owner states that the values are important to her etc yet my manager violates these values and is involved in unethical behavior frequently. Example 1: My manager has told specialists (resourcers) that she will pay them under the table in order for her (manager) to get full credit vs splitfor the placement and therefore (barely) hit her target for the quarter.

One of my friend was asked to resign because she got pregnant . They specifically told her that they have strict policies and need complete commitment and you are not fit for the current role owing to your health. They have a king rule from management side and treat their employees as daily wage labor . Very bad HR and management

Salary range for Highspot solution architect?

At what point does it not make sense to buy/ build a bigger home? My husband dislikes our house immensely (was his with former wife) and wants to move. Only owes $180k on it, we’ve been together 6 years and thus I’d rather just remodel. It’s the only thing we disagree about - moving or staying. He doesn’t want to invest one more cent in this house.

Hi all, I currently work 52-55 hours on average weekly and have been at my company for 4 months. I am now the only operations team member and am expected to complete all ops work alone. (Barely got trained to begin with).
