You know you’re getting old when you take pleasure in giving clients bad news due to their mistakes and oversights.

What’s the consensus on dress code for a virtual interview? Is a suit too formal? Maybe no tie?

How do you guys manage toxic environment? Like gossiping and power play at work.

I have this massive crush on my coworker and she's the type to kiss other girls for attention… so I've become her latest victim whenever we're out and I'm pretty sure she knows I'm gay and it's just 🙈 killing me softly sigh.

Anyone else down to bang their boss? Any success/awkward stories about playing with a direct supervisor?

What’s the best way to tell creative leads that you don’t think their strategic direction is hitting the mark? Especially when it’s for new business. I find it difficult to say “I don’t think this is what they want” without getting a defensive reaction only to have the clients say “this isn’t what we wanted”.

How do you navigate working with a colleague who takes credit for your work? For reference, he is a AS but he is not my direct manager.

What’s your take on working along side a team in marketing but barely any of your team enjoy the social present, let alone having actual social accounts. I’m totally respect people who want to keep their personal life private, but not knowing what the hell is trending while holding a role that deal with social media contracts everyday and giving others opinions, that’s what I’ll have problem with. Thoughts?

Hi there! My boss has recently hired more people and she is not managing our new size well. She clearly cannot handle bigger teams and translates her panic into overly-controlling and suffocating structures. Team members have no voice and if they do, it’s something really minor. She talks a lot about a shared vision, reading Dare to Lead together, etc, but it comes off as shallow. How do I call her out in the most supportive way possible? I want to help and this situation is giving me anxiety.

I was working at a Hotel one night & I saw a man appearing on two different floors, then in the stairwell. The man was in his 70’s or 80’s. He was wearing nothing but tidy whiteys. When he got to the front desk I asked “is everything alright? Are you okay?” (Assuming he may be senile),He wasn’t senile, he went swimming & wanted to make me uncomfortable and started to flirt while in his sopping wet see through tidy whiteys- and of course I had to clean up the water he tracked through the lobby.

How would you suggest dealing with a toxic boss? They gossip and seem to purposely be vague about critical information, likely so they can't be held accountable.

How do you as a leader of a team effectively manage when it requires you to ask your team to fulfill unrealistic demands? Serious question. Like when you have to authentically push folks and carry a team forward while also feeling that they are being exploited in a ridiculous situation of attempting what’s been asked.

Looking for a junior copywriter role or internship nationwide. If people at your agency wear their pants inside out, great. Fishing pond in the middle of your office, even better.

Recently did a drug test and obviously I take meds (dextroamphetamine). Will my new employer flag me? Do I need to provide a doctors note proactively or do I wait or them to ask?

I’m starting to work in the IB division in NYC soon. Was wondering what’s the dress code in the office. Would Business casual be fine?

How some people are clearing interview and then getting into a project even though they don't have any skills, no desire to learn new things, can't perform a very very simple task even though it's already documented clearly, totally burden on team members. They don't even try to do basic troubleshooting when they faced simple issues, rather asks stupid question to junior who is having only 1 years of experience and ask for solution.
I noticed this in every project I joined

Does anyone else have team members across the country who notice your “valley girl” voice/accent?

I didn’t really know it was that noticeable until I started this remote job 😂

Quick vent, would love input: I’m an attorney working for a state-wide nonprofit. I’ve been crushing it this year and have been very successful in obtaining favorable divorce and custody orders. An OC (who is generally a terrible attny) just filed a bar complaint b/c I requested attorney fees, arguing they shouldn’t be allowed b/c I work for a nonprofit. The fee request is warranted & allowable. My manager thinks it’s a compliment, but I’m anxious. Thoughts?

A close work friend who just left my firm a few weeks ago blocked my number without telling me why. Before that when they left they had said to text them regularly to catch up. So I had been texting them with updates. Nothing bad at all. I guess the friend just didn’t want to deal with my regular updates but wish they had just told me not to send them instead of blocking (after all, they had requested them). It hurts. Anyone go through this?

Anyone struggled to manage someone with time management/ deadline issues? Things are being handed in late and last minute. Lots of excuses. I don’t have much patience for non professional behavior but

I feel like so much of the media discussion about people NOT going back to work is centered on POC. I have white coworkers just as frustrated. Is this just another example of how POC are having the authentic conversation no one else is willing to have?

😭 tonight was supposed to be reservations at n/naka for my birthday 😭

Would love to chat with anyone who works for Robot Chicken or Adult Swim.

8 weeks pregnant, no sign of morning sickness. Should I be scared?

Anyone have pants from Hill City? Would love to hear anything regarding fit and comfort. This would be for everyday business casual pants.

Which engineering is the best and why? I am an electrical engineer and I am sure that my engineering is the best career because it is the most difficult to study and at the same time we are the ones in charge of moving the world.

Any books/articles recommendations for a young solicitor in how to adjust to big law environment (I.e. office hierarchies, how to watch your back in such a competitive market, etc)?

Any national security lawyers on here? What are the billables and what are you generally doing? Is it essentially gov’t relations and researching/drafting opinion letters or is there more to it?

Any strategists work in or apply for a creative strategist role at Facebook? Curious about myths, curious about the cultural transition from agency to tech, how the role differs from agency, etc.?

Hi,
I joined wipro last year with 11 YOE . Recently I got call from my project manager to return to office from next month and I need to relocate to other state since there is no project ODC at my base location. I said am not willing to relocate due to family dependency. Am not sure how my PM will get back to me on this.
Any suggestions in this situation?

Thoughts on a 9 year partnership track? And it’s 9 years until you’re eligible—it’s not guaranteed. And if you’re a woman and have a kid, you’ll mostly like need to take a year off.

Thoughts on Snellville as a place to buy a home? Found a 4 bed, 2.5 ba for $310K which looks great.

Hey - Anyone up to grab drinks this weekend? M29

Achievement unlocked: 1hr bathroom break

Sooooo.....if somehow the unfathomable and ridiculous occurs and DC becomes the 51st state, we’ll have two Washington’s. Can’t have that, so one will need a new name. Care to share any possibilities? 🤮🤮🤮
