Today my boss took away my reportees just because I backed them. He told me that they cannot have long lunch break as they are contracters . I disagree with him and he immediately told me that it would be better to assign them to a different manager. How can I raise this with Hr ?

Well, first I’d find out if contractually they’re actually only eligible for a certain break. It’s possible they’re not entitled to the same break you have.. Once you’re sure, you should have a conversation with your boss and if you don’t feel happy with the outcome, let him know you plan to raise the issue. Not sure what your chain of command is - is there someone above your boss you would need to meet with first? I’d be careful.. just make sure you follow the chain of command.

This is solid advice, OP. Definitely check the contracts first if you can. If you're not sure, you can ask HR, but I'd try talking with your boss before going that route. If you do go to HR, just explain the situation. Stick to the facts, state that if the contracts say they can't have long breaks then you understand, and see what they say.

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?

Is there any way to salvage the relationships on my end for purposes of networking?

Plus internal transfers after a year also an option?

Has anyone asked for a pay raise for the increased amount of responsibilities that was not originally asked or discussed in job description. It's been over 1yr and I have few certs.
