Thankfully my coworkers are being supportive of the current situation and what I might be going through. How is everyone doing? Is anyone facing hate at their company?

How do you handle people’s kids showing up on video meetings? Screaming, kicking, hamming it up, (wasting time.) Everyone else is coo-ing…I’m not a kids person. Heard a technique which is to drop off the call bc you “assume the call is over” (which seems like a great way to get fired especially if it’s a way higher up’s kids - plus it feels rather passive aggressive.) Thoughts?

Have you ever been told off by an older attorney of color? We have one Black partner at our firm and in conversation with him this morning he told me I should work on sounding and looking "more professional" and not let my "tone" or "bad attitude" get in the way. I don't think I've ever had a bad attitude at work, and whatever "tone" I'm speaking in it's my normal one. As a Black woman I just feel super weird about it and kind of sad.

Where do you over 50 ladies shop for work clothes? Need a bit if a wardrobe refresh and looking for ideas.

What do I do if I’ve only worked one job (the one I’m currently at) and another company is asking for references? I could do professors from college but not sure if that’s a good idea. I wish I could give my current manager’s contact but I don’t want her knowing :/

Not sure if this is the right place, but in a privately owned business located in a right to work state, is verbal abuse allowed and would swearing at and putting down an employee in front of a bunch of other employees and in front of customers be deemed verbal abuse? Can owners demand you work a certain amount of hours a week if it’s 100% commission?

Met this really cute guy at national training, exchanged phone number, but he's heading back to home office tomorrow. Advice?

Could someone please suggest how to handle this situation?
My manager (Technology Director) sees me as an emerging thread to his position and stopped sharing details / trying to avoid including me in visible projects etc.,
FYI - His manager is the division head and Managing Director.
Why I think my manager tries to move me out?
- I am 18 YOE with a technically strong background

After how many wears do you usually dry clean your suit jacket, suit pants, and blazer?

My manager asked me to help sprint this proposal. I’m out in 6 weeks. How do I kindly tell him to GTFO

Does anyone have tips regarding attending social events, such as happy hours with coworkers and express that drinking isn’t my preference?
With me being the only one on my team who doesn’t drink, it causes me to stick out, and others constantly question why I’m not drinking.
It kind of deters me from attending work events, but I know there’s a lot of benefitting in being around.

What's the best way to be supportive of a partner who struggles with addictive tendencies?

Have you ever snoop through your partner’s phone without them knowing? If so, did you find anything shocking?!

I have several job offers I am considering. My dilemma is when I put my resignation in for my current employer should I tell them why I’m leaving? (Toxic environment passive aggressive behavior from superiors
And staff that habitually didn’t do their job thoroughly and I was prohibited from writing them up?) thoughts?

Hello! I've been struggling the last few weeks because someone on my team has been taking credit for my work. This coworker is really good with buzzwords and getting the attention of upper management. I'm feeling discouraged - what should I do?

Partners / Managing Directors: in your junior years, how did you manage not wanting to work with a Senior Mgr who consistently tries to pull you into work he is doing? (He lies, tries to make you think that he is doing you favors, etc.) Does your answer now change as a Partner / MD?

Doing those mid year peer/self review kills all time that would be better spent pretending to help my clients

Welcome!
I started this group in hopes of connecting with like minded HR partners.

Are there any protections for an employer who has a server that received a very large tip? For example, what if the customer says they never meant to tip that large amount?

What’s the overall feeling about presentation attire? Suit and tie?

Is anyone doing anything cool remote learning wise with their prek class. I’m looking for some fun ideas to get them motivated again !

I am about to finish a 6 month bootcamp and I am a single mum. Is it realistic for me to find a remote working job or working in the office during term time (school hours) and working from home during the holidays/evenings. If this is possible some possible companies for me to try looking for work would be great. Many thanks.

Am I crazy for trying to plan my engagement around Jewish holidays? I want my wedding to be in the fall

Obligatory Rosh Hashannah post:
Shannah Tovah to my fellow Jewish consultants!

Does your consulting firm offer a Jewish community group or professional network? Please indicate your company name if possible - doing research on DEI initiatives for the Jewish community. Thank you in advance! 🙏🏻

Anyone here know what the deal is at ICF?

Lets get this bowl going!

We just moved to 'unlimited' vaca. TBD how that will play out but hoping it'll make this easier.

Why are we so hesitant to identify ourselves?

Is there any activity on this bowl?

Yidden, I've been slowly drifting away from religion. It's odd because I used to be so connected, and I still retain the same values! Technology, however, has made religious ritual feel so lifeless, and I can barely muster the energies to maintain even a bare Jewish lifestyle. I become so sad when I see my friends becoming more connected, while I find myself gradually falling away 😞... HELP!

How is everyone handling the stop and go of the holidays? Been feeling very anxious taking off two days this and next week.

Having a Seder for a group of friends (multiple faiths) with kids. Any recommendations on haggadahs that would be fun for a mixed group?

Anyone at Deloitte in nyc?

Any NJBs out there?

Anyone at Huron that would be willing to talk about your experience?

Shana Tova to all...a happy healthy and successful new year to you and your loved ones!

Any singles here?

What cities do you all live in?

Hey guys, I just found this group and I’m hoping for some guidance/advice! I’m hoping to get into one of the Big 4s or MBB and finally got a few referrals once joining FB. I am 29, have an MA in IOP, and 10 YEO. I have never worked for a non-Jewish company (despite trying pretty damn hard to get out) and I’m freaking out. I have no concept of normal professionalism, strategy for navigating the workplace and the real world in corporate USA,(cont. in comment)
