Apologize to my Managers or Move on?
I've been asking for help at work with clients from my team lead and I am frequently told by the lead that the lead is not available. I originally did not plan to discuss this with my supervisor (higher up than my lead) due my supervisor's harsh management style and unsuccessful attempts at finding solutions. Also, my supervisor promoted those with similar interests so I knew she was biased. My supervisor's manager brought my supervisor into the meeting, even though I said I was uncomfortable and intimidated of my supervisor. Both higher ups defended my lead and the temper got the best of me. I ultimately told both higher ups that I would be transferring to another department. This has been a problem at where I work: management piles on responsibilities to employees, with no compensation for these extra responsibilities, so there is a high turn over rate at my work. Should I apologize, or just look for work somewhere else? Many positions in my place or work that are open require masters degrees and I have a bachelors. I really feel bullied by my supervisor. This supervisor has a reputation of being harsh, blunt, and making employee's lives miserable if they attempt to challenge the supervisor in any way. I apologize for the wordiness but I want to remain private. I would go to HR, but I am afraid HR is involved in this workplace's politics. COVID-19 has me afraid for trying to find employment, but I honestly do not feel like apologizing to someone who actively is trying to get rid of me because I am standing up for what's right. Please be gentle with your responses ladies, I am admitting fault in this, I'd appreciate it. Thank you

A dream role position has landed on my plate while I’m not feeling my very best due to a health issue .
I’m okay 65-70% percent of time but lately it’s been flaring . I don’t want to lose the opportunity and feel I should at least try and do my best . im praying to god , to help me land this job only if its meant to be as im afraid my health “might “ affect my performance . I’m currently still going through the interview process . Would like some feedback from some mid -senior level professionals . Has anyone been in this situation before ?

Opinion on secondment
I've been in my company for 9 months .
The perfect secondment opportunity came up .
My manager said to meet the secondment manager.
However, my meeting didn't go well.
I asked all the relevant questions but the secondment manager was very negative in her responses and I felt bad vibes.
The role was perfect and exactly what Ive been dreaming of .
But every question I'd ask she would be negative and say x person is tough x team will write bad reviews.
I didn't know if this was to check how i'd behave so I just twisted it positively and say how I'd adapt and help her with these challenges.
I rejected the opportunity but don't know if it's the right decision.
How do you determine if the secondment is right for you

How long should you stay in a position or company? Do you think there is a standard time?
Curious to know others thoughts on this topic. I've been hearing 2-5 years. I think there are multiple factors that determines the time such as security, money, toxic space, they love the role or company, it's not your career goal, they're bored etc

Hi,
I wanted to get some other perspectives from anyone that has become a mum and feels like they need to/want to take a step back in their career? I don't know if my experience is unusual or if this is a common thing that happens. I have a very limited village, so any illness or issue means I have to take time off work etc. and progressing in my career in a high stress environment doesn't feel sustainable alongside the home life pressure. Is anyone willing to share their experiences?
