What do you find yourself talking about with your coworkers in casual settings (work events, outings, etc.), any topics you enjoy most? For our company it’s usually family and sports which is easy enough.

I’m slightly younger than my colleagues so I find it hard to relate to all of the family updates, just curious what everyone trends towards?

Family and sports for me too.

My remit quadrupled+ in a recent re-org with no increase in pay/promotion, my new director is new to the company and was zero help, and I was passed over for recent promotion during the comp cycle. The new director essentially began shutting me down any time I ask for clarity in my career progression. Now they have taken credit for the project I’ve been building over the past year+ without giving me props whatsoever to higher ups. What is the best plan of action here?

Hi Fishies

I work at a service based MNC and resigned recently. I'm getting married within a week and moving with my partner, and won't be able to serve the notice period.

What to do.
