Would you try to enquire about a possible layoff in the company? I wish I knew people by their voices, but I heard a few people talk about how 'a hundredish people next month' will be let go, and I genuinely can't afford to lose my job. I'd rather know than find out by surprise.

Good morning! What auto insurance do you recommend at Bay Area? Just moved here and my State Farm premium almost doubled. Thanks!

Hello. I have a job interview coming up. When asked the question by the interviewer, “Why do you want to leave your current employer for us?” What is the best answer?

FML. I’ve been dating someone for 8 months and have been having doubts about the longevity of the relationship. This week he tells me he is thinking about leaving our city and working remotely. Even though I was already thinking about ending it, this hurts. I know I’m being childish - being rejected by someone who I was planning to reject! And I know he isn’t the right guy for me in the long term. So why does this hurt?! 😭😭😭

Best roommate prank you've seen/done. Go!

On popular demand: bowl for Canadian SMs and Ms. Feel free to invite our peers. Might need a way to regulate … suggestions?

The firm I work for is not closing for the hurricane. Staff were told to work from home or take PTO if they could not come in to the office (and the building is now closed until Friday). Is this normal?!

What’s your jacket of choice on a 30-40 degree day? I wear a parka, but that’s usually too heavy if it’s not snowing.

Is simplify healthcare is good company to join?

How do you address pay discrepancies? I just found out a VT hired a year after me, with less experience, is making $2 more an hour. She was hired when they were desperate for staff which I’m guessing is why, but I’ve felt bitter ever since finding out.

My area has a shortage of vet techs, yet all three clinics I’ve interviewed with are only offering minimum wage. I’d rather not commute to the next city if I don’t need to. Should I try to sell the ROI of hiring me at a liveable wage?

Anyone going to hajj this year or has been? Tips to prep mentally, physically, spiritually?

“Fuck it I’m going to PDF this bitch"

I’m starting at VMLY&R on account side and was asked if I want a PC or Mac. Not trying to be the odd one out - what do most account folks have?

So a higher up made a new rule that for a service we offer , we have to offer it to the customers three times and If they say no a manager has to get involved and document. it is this not wrong?

“What do you guys see...a mouse or a blue screen”

Alright, Fishbowl - whats the juiciest gossip you heard this week at work?

"There's no whining in baseball!", said very seriously and earnestly ..... to the office dog.

What type of background check do HF/PE/VC forms so these days? Employment, education and felonies are a given (I think) but is fingerprinting and drug testing still in the mix? How about credit score?

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?

“Who cares if it doesn’t work! You have to sell the vision!”

Is there any good reason to take a 10+ minute call in a bathroom stall at work? Noticing people doing this as RTO ramps up and I really don’t understand why you wouldn’t go outside or at least in your car.

"She's like 30, but doesn't look super old"

OH: (RE: required meeting attendance)

"Ok, fine. I will say yes now but fair warning I may fake my own death beforehand."

Joined a call to hear “how’s my sql replication looking? Yeah,!I’m good.)

I was recently promoted, and now part of my team report to me. I'm now able to see their pay rates and I am honestly so disappointed in the company. Especially since we just gave annual raises in Feb, plus we can all see where the money is going and it's not to the employees. Makes me sick

“Those glasses don’t make you look younger, they make you look older—but slightly more cool.”

🥺

What's the weirdest thing anyone has ever said to you at work? One time a co-worker divulged to me that they had a collection of troll dolls that they named and sometimes still played with.

“We had complimenting genitalia.”
