Yikes, I was offered an interview for a nonprofit’s legal counsel position. Checked out the org website and I see that staff, leadership, and board of directors are all white. Like zero POCs. Should I even bother?

To everyone who looks at what’s going on with GME and is focusing on WSB. Please reconsider. You likely heard that the liquidity on the market almost dried up Thursday, causing what would have likely been a crash. Please understand this is because some hedge funds took an extremely risky bet, on margin,with unlimited downside and then refused to capitulate and take the loss. They dragged it out until the loss would be so large it would take down the marketmakers, if they had to absorb the loss.

Looking for advice: been at my new job for about 6 months and absolutely hate it. I’m overworked and underpaid. A friend is a VP at a fund that I’m interested in joining and has offered to refer me but he won’t be involved in the hiring process past that point. Do I take the referral now and risk them thinking I’m a job hopper or do I suffer for 6 more months and hope they’re hiring then?

In final stage interview for Product Manager position at Early Stage VC startup. The company convo is coming up soon and I am looking at asking 140K base, 20K sign on, and 40K equity. Is this reasonable am I selling myself short (or too high), I’m coming from consulting.

I’ve been working at this company for a year now and they’ve recently gone through a merger with another company. Now there are two sets of C level leadership. Everything is confusing and I feel like employees are being left in the dark. I asked someone in HR for some information as to Wage tables etc and haven’t received a response in over a month. There is no way of telling if this person even works here anymore!

More details in the comments…

Boomer: If these new hires are worth anything, they should show up at least 30 mins early for their first day.

Anyone have multiple FT jobs? I'm looking about to land a new primary FT job, as my current job is very very slow, doesn't really have any projects for me, and could end at any time (with a 30 day notice).
Where there any legal issues? (The two companies area in different industries so no competition). How did you manage both? The new company knows I'm still employed, should I quit the first or keep it as long as I can manage both? Any bad vibes or feelings of unprofessionalism? TIA

I'm trying to figure out why work thinks that offering rotations out of role for 6 months is suppose to replace the ability to grow and obtain permanent positions changes? I feel like its dangling the carrot in front of the jackasses face. Sorry but that is NOT surprise or delight for me and I'm not a jackass.

I was in a meeting, and there was a new attendee, a fellow Asian guy.

Senior member: “Hi [new attendee’s name], where are you from?”

New attendee: “from [city and state]”

Senior member: “No, where are you reeeeaaaallllyyy from?”

**awkward silence**

New attendee: “from God”

Well… 🫣

So overheard after work:

I left a company a while back and a coworker of mine that also left just informed me that one of the C level execs has an SEC decision against him for embezzling several million.

This was from before I worked there...

Boss1: “Here, sign these.”
Me: “A job description addendum?”
Boss1: “To supplement your contract so you know what’s expected of you.”
Me: /starts reading/
Boss1: “What the—are you actually reading that?!”
Me: “Heck yeah, there might be something about my soul in here.”
Boss1: “Nah, it’s just stuff about conducting yourself appropriately, professional manner in action and speech, blah blah blah.”
Me: (dryly) “…I’m guessing these aren’t in YOUR contract.”
Boss1: /cracks up/

Two hours later I am told on our team meeting that the bonus/raise pool is down from last year.

Boss: "Aren't you supposed to be on PTO?"
Overworked employee: "I'm not here in spirit."

Me: ugh, I am soooooo fucking done with this financial client, please, please, please assign me to literally any other project!

Boss: oh, really? I thought you'd want to stay on.

Me: lololololol why?

Boss: the client said they liked your voice so much during your interviews that they want you to do the voice over for the commercial.

Me: ...oh?

Me: well, let's not be too hasty. I should probably stay on a little longer then, wouldn't want to jeopardize the commercial or anything...

CxOs in a consulting firm say discovery phase is a bad thing to say. Instead, use roadmapping or planning. Edit: I’m confused. What’s wrong with discovery?
