You ever get a new boss and they seem to reinvent the wheel and/or start making the same assumptions and mistakes as your last boss? Any tips to avoid a Groundhog Day type year but without coming across as cynical? I keep trying to looking at this as a reset and fresh start for our team.

It's a hard question, and I am not sure I can help. However, is this a new manager for the whole team or just for you? It's always good to try to talk to the person or HR to see if they can help. I would also be clear and open about your feelings and see what the oersin will say.

Get an MBA and become the boss.

Get a PhD and become the president.

All you can do is "manage up" as best you can and try to avoid having your team waste too much time on things that don't matter. It's pretty typical for people to come in and want to start over. And in some circumstances that may be warranted, so it's probably best to just see how things go, as it may turn into a positive reset.

Oht his has happened to me SO many times. They come in all wide-eyed and bushy tailed ready to change things. Spoiler alert: nothing ever changes.

Interested in how much others spend on food per month and what that breakdown looks like between at home or ordering out.

My husband and I have no kids and order/go out very rarely, maybe once a month, and our grocery bill for just the 2 of us has risen to around $750-$800 per month this year.

It's starting to feel very unreasonable to spend so much despite not wasting much. I do buy mostly produce but not always organic, and very little meat.

Is my manager forcing me out?

I prepped the doc accordingly, but instead of wanting to discuss it, he said I have 4 weeks to “turn things around” - without giving any new info on what I’ve done wrong - esp given I wrote my goals based on this same feedback from last week??

To clients.) and simultaneously ask more questions and ask fewer questions. Should I just assume this is unattainable and look for a new job again?
