I am a Director reporting to the CEO.
We are a small office of 5 (CEO, 2 Directors, 2 hourly). For the second time in about 6 months - the CEO has called me aside and told me I was (1) speaking for the others and (2) that I was limiting their participation - the CEOs bigger concern. Both times I have asked for examples and they could provide none. All of us (with the exception of the CEO) are introverts and I do know that we all hesitate in expressing our true feelings to the CEO. Maybe I am trying to give them a little encouragement. I am at a complete loss without examples. As a problem solver I want to fix this and want to ask my coworkers but think that could make things worse if the CEO finds out. Nonetheless, my gut tells me it is something else and I should get out.

Why do people ghost candidates that they have interviewed?
I had an interview recently, sent a thoughtful thank you email and have heard nothing. Isn't that rude?

I could use some ideas.
I have applied and applied. I have had recruiters, head hunters, HR and everyone in between make sure my resume is great. I apply to positions that seem like a good fit, I tailor my resume, I write cover letters and nothing. Recently I applied to a position that is literally what I've been doing for 10 years, have a Masters degree in and was told my skills and background don't match what they are looking for. It feels like there is this invisible barrier and I don't know how to get through it. Any tips, ideas, tricks anything is highly welcomed, thank you!

I've been looking for a position for four months and feeling pretty defeated.
I signed a contract with a company who reneged two days before I was to start. Now I just had a three round interview and was passed over. I feel like I'm doing something wrong. Boo!

Just want to remind everyone that when you get that sick feeling in your stomach that a job is not a fit for whatever reason, that that's your body telling you that there is something wrong and you dont belong there.
This situation will not magically correct itself. And you can't explain it away. I am in a job 6 weeks now and am waking up with that horrible feeling. So even though there are folks willing to kill for this job, it doesn't fit me at all and is not what I signed up for. I am planning my exit now and will resume my search.
Keep prioritizing yourself and happiness!
