What are some good ways you have found to engage coworkers with the Gospel or just deeper things without coming across weird or pushy? I’m curious!

Communication etiquette: LinkedIn vs email vs text, what is your preferred method to send and receive communication from past co-workers? Why?

Not going to mention the firm or the engagement but heard that a senior manipulated a PBC to agree to their work paper and was curious if this happens more often than I thought. Am I naive to be in shock about this?!

I put in a lot of effort to show my client properties that fit their requirements, but they ended up working with a different agent just because they wandered across an open house. I'm so frustrated right now. Has anyone else experienced this?

How do I tell my manager that I cannot attend a meeting today so that I can attend a safe room discussion that WPP is hosting in response to current events? I also want to suggest they attend as well but i don’t wanna do “too much”

When do you think associates are usually let go in small practice groups that are currently being overwhelmed with work? Is it when it starts to slows down or when they already have a candidate to replace you? Just trying to figure out how long I have after annoying a partner 😂.

I keep fighting with the product managers on my team, who keep assigning me new features to build without checking first if I had the bandwidth for it. How do I communicate this politely?

I guess I’m officially being off boarded team doesn’t care no one has said anything … I’m a ball of nerves thankfully my old company wants me back — feeling so sad and angry and just incredibly nervous

Have you ever felt like teammates can tell you’re introverted and overstimulated by something and purposefully set those circumstances up so they can appear to shine socially in comparison to you?

I'm dealing with some toxic masculinity at work from someone that works on my team. Does anyone have advice on constructive ways to address this type of behavior?

Seeking advice on how to react when a colleague asks how much you make. I don’t want to disclose what I make given the person asking definitely makes less and it will cause drama

Tips on giving notice over the phone? I’m required to be in the office 5 days a week but the two partners I work for never come on Fridays or Monday mornings

Do you shoe check others at the office?

Am I particularly uptight, or is writing meant to be done alone, without a partner talking to you? With past partners, we chat through script notes and then I go off to execute. Current partner likes to sit and chat as I write. To me, writing is crafting a conversation. So I can’t talk to you and simultaneously talk to this audience. Of course I can just say “I’m gonna go write.” But since we’re both CD level, I’m like…is this his first rodeo? Maybe other writers are different though.

What's a guilty pleasure you indulge in at work?

I’m a firm believer that a manager should develop a positive relationship with employees, but I don’t want that to be an invitation to disrespect my authority. How do you know where to draw the line to make this distinction clear?

Hooked up with a manager form different line of service and now I came to know he is joining my team.

A partner emailed you, recognizing your hard work and thanking you (you billed aweful lot of hours this month). Do you respond or not?

I met two of my three aides for the first time today and they have been nothing but miserable the entire day. How could I promote a more positive environment without directly calling them out?

I got feedback from my manager telling me that I should always have an opinion, which is very hard in group settings, esp. when people are talking about a topic unrelated to my module. Any thoughts ?

So my junior lies a lot. About everything. They work hard and are reasonably smart, but they would swear a black pen is red and vice versa. When you catch them out, they keep digging. I like to think I’m very approachable and would never have an issue with someone not knowing something, needing longer on a deadline, asking questions etc. I’m writing this junior’s review and I’m wondering whether (and, if so, how) to bring this up?

New wage code!

Has your CTC been revised according to new wage code ? ie. Min 50% basic ?
Neither my current employer nor any offers that have been extended to me have been in accordance with this. Will our CTC be revised this FY ?

I just bought an Alexa for my grandma's birthday. Her old radio broke and she's been kind of sad because she can't listen to her favorite music anymore while cooking, so I thought this would be a good pick. She'll have her favorite music right there.

Later today my grandpa tells me she's not been asking Alexa for her favorite music, but for her radio stations instead 😭😂

Hi, I have a collaborative interview(second interview) tomorrow with a tech startup for a product marketing manager position. I haven’t experienced a collaborative interview before and I’m not sure what to expect. How should I prepare?

Hi Fishes,
I had 4-5 rounds of interview in Amazon in last 1.5 months, including bar raiser. I got a mail stating I am selected for position within 4 hours of my bar raiser round.
HR asked for a few documents like last 3 months payslips, ECTC etc. It's been 4 working days and that HR is not replying on my mail. It is fine or something is off track ? Any suggestions ?
Does they usually turn back after sending selection mail and asking for documents

Thanks in advance !

WFH Vs WF Office Vs Hybrid, Which one should you take?
If you are fresher, go for a WF Office setup. You will learn things beyond your work. In the initial phase of of your career, one needs to focus more on learning than on comfort. The interactions at office, meeting with collegues, conversations at the cafeteria, sense of responsibilty, the need to walk up on time to reach office etc will shape you for better.

Once you have a work experience of few year then any setup is fine. Go for WFH.

Have an interview with Littler tomorrow. Any tips/recommendations/talking points/thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Based on the recent event of George Floyd’s murder/police brutality, what do others think? Most of the church is silent when it comes to these issues and not sure why. Curious to know others thoughts regardless of your race/ethnic background.

Hoping you all can stand with me in prayer. I’m emotionally and spiritually tired. I want my peace back. My self esteem has taken a huge shot. And I feel like I’m in a spiritual tug of war.

Yet another friend/colleague got engaged this weekend. It’s become impossible to celebrate people’s relationships. I’m a POC woman and I’ve been single since coming to the US 10 yrs ago. A handful of men have been interested but they were not Christian or back in my country. So many childless, single women in my church and I’m terrified I’ll be them soon. My non-Christian family doesn’t understand why I’ll only date Christians, or the dating scene in big cities, so they put pressure on me

What books have you read recently that have dramatically shifted your understanding of who God is?

Any Christians in Germany ? Hard to find a good small group

Does anyone know if Timothy Keller is still preaching in NYC? Otherwise church recommendation for NyC ? Will be flying in from Europe so evening service would be great !

Any recommendations for a church in Manhattan or easy commute from Midtown Manhattan? I live in Kips Bay and new to the States. Honestly, I know if it is too far away, I won’t consistently attend.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today & forever! 😍🥳 Heb 13:8

Hi! Just joined this bowl - anyone in the Houston area want to connect?

Will be moving across the country next summer for a job in Dallas, and really would love to have serious-minded Christian roommates. Does anyone have suggestions on any websites or sources where I could find Christian roommates?

How does anyone keep time well for prayer and meditation while fully giving yourself to family and work in this economy?

One can imagine work here as meant in the maximum of work vs life here.

I know people who are constantly crashing and that’s without the set time for prayer. And despite hearts or gold, obvious piety and a high work ethic.

Hi everyone! I am planning a convention for my church and I want to get customized gifts for the attendees. If you know anyone who does customized things (mugs, notebooks, etc), can you share their instagram/facebook page here?

I need advice. I'm a non-denominational, pretty moderate Christian. My parents are loving people, but also very evangelical and Trump-endorsing. It's a struggle dealing with their black / white views.

Any Consultants in Chicago, looking to connect?

All at deloitte. Global call this Tuesday at 9am est. ping me if interested in joining
