Very awkward Zoom meeting with a broker. Thanked him at the end and tried many subtle ways of ending the call (eg let you know if I need anything else). He just kept responding with “yeah no problem. Happy to help” not helping me naturally end the call at all. After a long awkward pause, I just said “ok well have a nice day bye” and he LAUGHED and said “…bye?” I swear I’m not the awkward one!!! Anyone else?!

My VP asked my fellow team member to take on a task simply because of her race to help them land a grant renewal. We’re both women of color but since I didn’t match the target audience I was not asked even though the task is on a project I am overseeing. We’re both offended with how this was handled by the VP, are we overreacting?

Hi friends,

I'm a new joinee in MSFT.

People in my team they don't come with me for breaks. (They blame the timings are different since they sit in crits but i don't think so because they have their own group of friends to go with)

Secondly, when my team members see me in cafeteria we expect they'll sit with us but people here are being rude they directly go and sit with their friends they don't call you to join. ( atleast they could have said they are accompanied)
