I have one feiend at work that works under me but in a different location as myself.
We always have tea and lunch breaks together and share alot of commonalities e.g we both lost our mothers due to covid. The rest of the staff feels that i favour her more rhan others but we genuinely just talk i have never given her opportunities i havent given to other people i also have never done something for her that i wont or havent done for someone else. How is rhia favoritism. Please help resolve this issue.

Seriously?
Yah, it's an "employer's" market, but seeing so many listings for roles that are offering literally half or 25% of what the pay should be is making me sick. You want 5-10 years experience for x? The pendulum always swings back. Employers may want to consider that. Don't hire until you can…

Would you consider a move from a corporate job for a job at a much smaller company + pay cut or just wait for another opportunity?
My current job: I'm the marketing lead for a division within a large, global media company. In addition to pay being great, benefits are as well, including 401k matching. Also, while I have a hybrid schedule and do need to go into the office a few times a week, it's flexible enough…

Job searching at 61.
I was laid off in May 2024. This was my third layoff (for a total of 5) in the last 5 years.
I feel I’m stuck in a position I took 8 months ago at a low level and very low salary because I was desperate. No other offers. I was running out of unemployment.…

First of all, I'm very sorry for the loss of your mother. I also lost my mother, but it was not to Covid. The grief is overwhelming and it's totally understandable that you relate to someone who recently went through the same thing. Have you politely told the accusers about your situation? Maybe if they realize what is going on, they will be more compassionate. That being said, it might be better to meet with her outside of work if you want one-to-one conversations. If at work, you could also invite the others to meet you for lunch so they don't feel excluded. I don't know how big your workplace is, but if it's feasible, would it be possible to get pizza or sandwiches for everyone one day and have an employee appreciation lunch? It has been a difficult few years for almost everyone (although even worse for those who have lost loved ones), and a kind gesture like this might help smooth things over.

You don't have to justify your relationship. If you click with someone, you click and it's okay to spend time together. I agree with the previous post that they're jealous and noisy. Don't pay any attention to them and don't allow them to guilt you into any forced associations.
