The extremes of micromanaging to providing no guidance from my team leads has totally incapacitated my ability to work. It’s a toxic environment. I need out. Now.

Halfway through a year-long project. Small team, and one has already quit because they had enough. I’ve been looking for exit ops, but want to make sure I leave for the right thing. Not because of how much I HATE everything right now. Feeling ready to burn bridges and tell Partner to find me a replacement/roll me off if they want anything quality done moving forward, because in this team’s environment, it won’t be coming from me.

Thoughts on becoming a "Growth & New Initiatives PM"?

I was a regular PM managing my own vertical and now have the opportunity for a new role in the org. No promo or cash related, just jurisdiction wise.

I'd be focusing on:
For old product-
-Free Trial
-automation
For new product-
-Building out from scratch
-UI/UX related user feedback
-sales and marketing focus
-use cases and features

Is this a good move career wise? Love being a PM and looking to grow.
Prefer new product > old

I have a review coming up for my company, and I’m looking for direction on a salary range for my position because I believe I am very underpaid. I am the social media manager and have been for a year. I am also the creative director that takes all the photos and videos for our social channels as well. I also shoot all the content for our website and e-commerce channels. I work with all our influencers and manage partnership. have no idea what to expect from a role like this in terms of Salary.

Hi Moms. I’m 4.5mo postpartum with my first, and I’m having incredible feelings of resentment toward my husband, who I love dearly and with whom I’ve always had a great relationship. It feels like he’s not factoring me or the baby into his decisions (e.g. going on a 4d boys trip, attending big events), while I’m left with the consequences. My mat leave is ending, and he’s now sick with COVID. He’s quarantining at my in-laws while I return to work and take care of baby. I’m so frustrated… (cont.)

How do you deal with irrational anxiety whenever your boss is saying “hey let’s schedule 1:1, I’ve got a few things to discuss”? I’ve never had a bad performance rating before, quite the opposite I have received positive feedback. I also know 99% of the time this meeting is harmless and my anxiety has been proven wrong many times. But I’m still always on edge whenever this kind of meeting is scheduled. 😩

Also, yes I do go to therapy and have discussed this issue, but it hasn’t helped
