Anyone have advice on how to put their two weeks in at a company they have worked at virtually for basically the entire time? I have only known a few people and don’t feel much of an attachment here compared to prior firm.

Attractive, 6 foot 2 muscular male available for Miami corporate office holiday parties.
I will be your arm candy, dressed to impress and shower you with attention and compliments in front of your coworkers to make those spiteful office Karens you hate feel envious of you for the low rate of $245/ hour.
Free: I will engage in meaningless, polite office small talk with your coworkers I will never see again. DMs are open.

I’m a manager and one of my direct reports makes more than me. It really bothers me. Anyone else been in this situation before? What’s the best way to handle it?

Director of Marketing wants me to write some conversation snippets for a chatbot, but I think those things drive potential clients away. Trying to figure out if I should tell him or not

I need some advice. I am the chief science officer for a genetics company. The CEO recruited me with the intent of giving me ownership. He still hasn’t and it’s been a year. How can I approach this. He is very emotional but I also love what I don’t and see incredible potential

Part of a BD now, thinking of going on my own as RIA. Costs would be about 50% less, which makes it seem like an obvious choice. Have a deep family friend relationship with current firm, though. I don’t want to burn a bridge, but am I crazy to be a bit upset that the relationship could keep me from doing what I think may be right? Really struggling with that part of the decision.

Has anyone else had a mentor (assigned to them by the Company) who seemed to have it out for you? I mean downright sabotage to make you look bad left and right. I didn’t realize it at first. She was fake friendly, but she was discrete too. Some of the executives thought she was amazing, but I had to clean up her work all the time. She wasn’t above me either on the chain of command. Later I found out she had tried for the exec assistant role and they didn’t choose her, they wanted me instead.

I’ll be getting a shared EA assigned to me soon. I’ve never had one before. What is the best way to work with an EA so that both sides are happy? What should I be doing and what support is realistic to except?

I need to talk with a teacher about inappropriate behavior some parents are complaining that she has in the classroom. How do I approach this without accusing her or making her feel ambushed?

How to deal with people flirting with you at work.
I’m married, and one of my coworkers flirts with me. Nothing super overt, but definitely not professional. We’re good friends and work together constantly because we’re on the same client, so I don’t want to make it awkward. Do I just do nothing and let it go? It is mostly just odd I’m not super offended, but I’m also clearly uninterested!

I'm struggling at work and in the process of adjusting my meds, while simultaneously trying to fix some bad habits that I think came from burnout. I thought having a manager who has ADHD would be helpful. On the contrary, they don't seem to have a lot of empathy or patience for me. I think, in part, because they have theirs under control and are a high performer. Maybe they forgot what poorly controlled symptoms/adjustments feel like? Anyone else have similar experiences?

Hi fam! Taking a poll- are you out at work? To everyone or just a chosen few?
And bonus- do you know other Black LGBTQ folks at work that are out to all?

I just left a very toxic work place.
The crazy thing is they were just named the best local municipality to work for. It's upsetting. They advertise a "culture" but don'tapply it. It felt like a used car sales pitch, I was sold a dream but given junk. I am constantly replaying moments. I have read so many books and everything leads to they were the problem. How do I recover from this?

A coworker at non-work HH said something antisemtic to me. Do I talk to him about it or should I tell my manager and HR? I'm nervous about retaliation because I've experienced it before when reporting something to HR.

Married manager crushing on a junior consultant (not acting on it…yet). How cliche

Wearing my hair in an Afro to a video interview. My hair curls tightly so it will be medium sized. Not willing to wear a wig or straighten my hair. I will have on lipstick earrings nice jacket. But if my Afro is an issue, me being Black is likely to be an issue too. Agree?

I was put on PIP after someone from my firm complained I missed some meetings. In those missed meetings I had informed my client and the said resource was junior so it was a pretty harsh punishment imo. Missed out on promo.

My goal since early 2020 was to hit $100k NW by Dec 2021. It’s going to be March 2022 and I’m at $86k 😔 It’s mostly due to healthcare-related bills I didn’t anticipate.
