Something is off w/ Direct and I am not sure if I should report or leave? My Sup interaction with me has changed for the worst in the last month after a colleague (secret friend) looped her in. She is mean. She has threatened putting me on a PIP, confronted me about minor errors, abrasive emails, and more. I find myself using calming techniques , I am discouraged, my love for the role and team has faded fast. I am Black and they are Caucasian.

You are so right. I have a great mentor and this would be a great way to gain strength and secure evidence of my experience.

Hey love! I’m dealing with the same thing & it sucks because I recently started this job and I feel like it’s too soon to leave. I say if it’s affecting your mental health then start looking for other opportunities. I hope things improve for you 🫶🏽

Thank you for sharing. It means so much to understand that I am not alone. I am sure this is a common problem. Please know that you have my support and concern. Many people transfer in short periods of time, don’t be afraid to leave a toxic situation. I am interviewing as I experience this issue. I am confident that I will be valued for my contribution again.

Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with discrimination as an Asian in the workplace? In my company it seems like it’s a white boys club where and they just promote white ppl because they’re white. And then they have a lower bar for promotions for minorities (traditional minorities likes Hispanics and African Americans). Meanwhile they make Asians do all the work. I am not generalizing that this is how it is everywhere but it definitely is that way in my workplace. Any advice?

Hi friends,

I'm a new joinee in MSFT.

People in my team they don't come with me for breaks. (They blame the timings are different since they sit in crits but i don't think so because they have their own group of friends to go with)

Secondly, when my team members see me in cafeteria we expect they'll sit with us but people here are being rude they directly go and sit with their friends they don't call you to join. ( atleast they could have said they are accompanied)

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?
