Stuck w/my boss. Toxic behaviors too long to list but namely blatant lying, manipulating & sweeping sexual harassment under the rug. Tried talking to boss directly, HR, & job searching. I’m at a loss.

Agreed to serve as local counsel for another attorney in my firm (different office). Answered complaint and then the case fell off the rails. Turns out firm has a conflict of interest that was missed in initial check, client has been instructed to retain a new attorney, court has ordered us to withdraw and client to produce documents by Wednesday. I keep reaching out to the attorney who I am assisting to ask if I can file my withdrawal and for the name of the new attorney and nothing. (Cont.)

On a new project, how do you build relationships? What specific actions do you take? I’m not the type to randomly walk up to someone I have no real need to talk to and just ask them how they’re doing

Has anyone experienced sexual assault without reporting and come out in the other side? Had a horrific experience with a partner at my last employer and didn’t handle it in the best way - and tbh think it’s impacting my daily life more than I care to admit.

What’s the consensus on dress code for a virtual interview? Is a suit too formal? Maybe no tie?

Any ideas on fun team bonding events/games to improve culture in a new remote tech startup? Very small team with long work hours, we are trying to build a people culture but hard because we can’t see much of peoples personalities through Zoom meetings much.

Was told I "have every qualification for promotion, but am not ready for it because I lack a bubbly/positive personality and may want to consider changing who I am at work." Advice?

I want to find ways to build up team morale without resorting to clichés like a pizza party. What are some of your favorite ways to give back to employees?

I have two supervising partners. One (married, 60+, nice) wants to be friends w/ spouse and I. Can you really be friends with partners and also follow that traditional law firm hierarchy?

I had a disbarred attroney interview for a assistant position. The conduct was effectively she had emotional issues, abandoned her clients and then was disbarred.

She seems as if she got the help she needs and can move on productively. The pros are she can effectively do everything I do and she is cheep. (For obvious reasons).

I want to give her a chance am I making a deal with the devil?

I’m a new analyst at a PE firm, and my associate keeps blaming me for things she does wrong. Like she will tell me I made the wrong change, even though she is the one who changed it. Or in calls with other people, she won’t take responsibility for things that she told me to do that the other person calls out as wrong. How can I handle this situation without making her mad but also not letting her step all over me?

OMG- big Tea. So there’s a mess between a big 4 consultant and someone - it’s about to be a shit show

I used to freelance at a small in-house studio for a hospitality group and learned that the CD got fired. He contacted me about a new “side project" and I learned he wants me to make his portfolio.

What is the etiquette for exit row in the middle section (think seats configured to 3-3-3)? Are people meant to climb over your legs to pass or is this reserved for the passengers who are sat there?

How do you deal with some mild sexism at a startup that has no real HR?

Mild as in there’s just passing comments about me, I’m the only woman on the team, I’m steamrolled a ton in conversation and generally made to feel stupid/awkward. I’m fairly outgoing and outspoken as well, never felt this way at ANY company before.

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.

Advice needed: how do I tell my boss my team sucks? I switched jobs about 4 months ago and while I like my new clients and my manager, our team is the most unprofessional, unreliable, & incapable group of people I’ve ever worked with. They require constant micromanaging & there’s been times when I’ve had to do some of their tasks for them to avoid missing deadlines. I feel like I’m being set up for failure & clients aren’t very happy. How do I talk to my boss about this?

Anyone else struggle with the Managing Partner and Officer Manager duo that creates a toxic environment? Even more so, they are married and do not understand that the cultural issues in the office are largely created by them?

How do you feel while interviewing? I always feel self conscious and think of ways to make myself be more masculine by altering the way I talk and use body language.

Yay or nay to 1-year campaign anniversary gifts for clients? I think something small could be fun and thoughtful, but at the same time we work like crazy for them year round....is a gift on top of that overkill?

I have a boss that always canceled meetings with me including performance reviews. I’ve been trying to get on his calendar to let him know I’m leaving but just getting more of the same. All of my work is in good shape but needs senior eyes and not left for junior folks to handle. Some of them are high profile and client-facing. How do I close this chapter without burning bridges?

Implementation consulting is just white collar coal mining. Change my mind

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.

Still waiting to hear on the lottery. Possible to still have hopes? :(

Folks with kids - what's your routine for cooking, gym, home chores etc. ? We have a 2.5 year old toddler and we struggle to cook food, drop off our kid in daycare and then cook dinner and find time for working out. I am curious how other working couples organize and manage cooking, home chores gym. I am recently diagnosed with ADHD and curious how others make it work while working full time. Thanks!

I will be joining pwc india , how much traveling do i have to do as a technology consultant?

Hello there, I'm a customer support person. My boss just told us to go back to the office when we thought we could permanently keep on working from home.

Please cheer me up, and share some pros of working in the office as a customer support agent.

I had my final rounds at McKinsey & Company 3 weeks ago and have yet to hear back from the interviewers. The HR emailed me yesterday to ask me if I am free for a call today at 5pm to discuss outcomes. Does this mean that I have likely failed since the interviewers should call successful candidates?

I know I’m not the only one burned out on insurance. Has anyone thought of moving into a different career? If so, what?

Can anybody please tell me What is the hierarchy level in eli lilly. Recently Received an offer for Associate consultant position

What would you do?

(Or really this is just me typing out loud. )

Currently 6 years at job A at 100K and 10K annual bonus but lil to no upward mobility. It's safe if not going anywhere.

Recruiter reached out regarding Job B at 130K with greater advancement potential but it starts out at 6 Months Contract to Hire per the agency contract. No bonus, benefits adequate by comparison. There is no guarantee to go full time.

Interview just for practice?

How different is the quality of work delivered between big 4 consulting and MBB? Are the two really that far off?

Anyone has thoughts on LEWIS Global, and how they’re doing in APAC? I’m thinking of switching jobs and this opportunity came up. I’m still fresh in b2b PR but very keen to dive into it.

Hello Machlis,

What the maximum CTC being offered currently for someone having 9years yoe with SAP BW/ HANA skill?

I am seeing people with other skills are earning more and quite more.

Is SAP BW/HANA dying slowly?

Apparently my boss still thinks niche car ads from the 70’s are still relevant. Help.

My life would be so much easier if my mother-in-law would leave me the F alone during the work week. Sometimes I delete her emails and tell her I never got them...

Accepted a new job that doesn’t start for six weeks. I have nobody to tell other than my family because I don’t want it getting back to my agency so I’m saying it here. Go me!

I don’t care about soccer and I am super annoyed that everyone is being loud and not working to watch the game

I hate when we refer to our places of work as “shops"

When it’s still not 9 am but I’m looking at the train schedule to see what time I can leave the soonest...

My birth control pill dropped on the floor

...

I still ate it.

Laid off. 17 applications, 1 bite. Round 2 and 3 interviews coming up. Just realized office is next door to emotionally abusive ex-boyfriend's job. He did a number on me. Idk what to do.

I dream of getting hit by a taxi or nyc bus on my way to work almost daily just so I get a free pass to not come to work for a while

I miss being a senior copywriter.

Usually, I hate everyone. But, every now and then, someone comes along that I only mildly dislike. These are the people I keep around.

How do you react when you’ve helped someone get a job v. When you reach out to them and they won’t help you? Happened to me so many times as a creative.

I have truckloads of empathy for the team behind the Mazda ‘Feel Alive’ spot. But would like to kick the media planners in the shins for making me watch it three bile-inducing times in the last hour.

Dear agency,

Hiring people from “diverse backgrounds “ will do nothing to position you as “cultural experts” when your leadership team is still comprised of overpaid, undereducated basics.

Do less.

Dear account person who smells like a macys, please stop wearing so much perfume and for the love of god, stop putting it on in the coat closet. My gf asked why my coat smells like perfume 😐

I don’t even think I’m very good at this

I got fired. After a month. And I’ve never been more relieved.

I’m so sick of people only saying they’ll help. I don’t care if you can’t actually help, just don’t say it in the first place.

I cannot stress this enough. 12 o’clock meetings mean you bring me a damn sandwich. The better the sandwich, the better the work

I care more about the Puppy Bowl than the Super Bowl ads.
