Whenever I’m looking at a new role, I always end up deep in the Glassdoor reviews—sometimes they confirm a gut feeling, other times they totally surprise me. Do you rely on them when considering a move? Have they ever changed your mind?

I rely on this community 100%; Glassdoor has saved me so many times. Great insights, tips, and reviews that have earned my trust. I always use the community to find out everything I can about the job, company, and culture.

The amount of tips and tricks is honestly so great, it’s defo something people don’t think about either!

I do the exact same thing. Glassdoor reviews have made me walk away from jobs I thought were perfect on paper. Sometimes you spot patterns in the comments that tell you everything you need to know.

At first I did worry that people only post bad reviews on Glassdoor but I feel like it’s such a useful place to really sense what a company is like

For sure. Usually before sending my CV or completing the long application form. It has stopped me from sending my details to 'ghost' companies or businesses that never seem to actually hire. Obviously, some of are disgrunted ex employees but numerous bad reviews obviously have a point.

Absolutely agree, can be useful to at least pick up the vibe of a company

Need some advice. During May of 2021 an operations manager and an hourly Hr employee started a relationship while the ops manager was married. We had supervisors give us pictures of those two kissing at workFast forward they are now engaged and getting married. The HR worker does not work here anymore since July 2021. Is it too late to investigate the ops manager for misconduct ? The ops manager has worked here for 15 years and is super valuable, the operation literally can not run without him.

One of my direct reports has asked about going part time. They currently manage special reports in a bi-weekly publication, working closely with sales, freelance writers, and an internal designer. Job duties are primarily project management and editing/proofreading. As the first read on articles, they need to have an understanding of the material (business/regulation). Has anyone had experience with job sharing in this type of a role?

Journalism is the best job in the world but I feel like people are less likely to take my work seriously because I am female. So it's like they automatically think the only things I would be good at writing about are fluffy little human interest stories. I'm just a reporter like everyone else. Is there some way I can tell my supervisor that yes, I do like those stories, but I like being a serious reporter even more?
