Expected to attend time-consuming meetings I have no role in nor reason to attend Over the last several months, I've been expected to attend new meetings that require me to drive an hour each way. I'm not a key participant-- most of the time, I just sit there listening. I really…
Grumpy new boss Hi all, I have been lucky to work for very nice managers in the past, but I am still adjusting to my new manager. I find the 1on1 meeting with her stressful because I feel she always speaks in an impatient and lecturing tone and interrupts people consistently. I…

How to properly say goodbye Hi, I have to leave the US due to my visa status and no luck on the lottery after 3 years. I do not plan to come back soon, but also don't want to burn the bridge with my current team. My new manager is just on board and we only have our third 1-1 I…

I need to make a change and quick I started my current job a little over a year ago and it seems like my ability to learning new tasks is not up to par like how I usually pick up new tasks. I just can't get the hang of it. It's mostly due to being extremely burned out and…

I'm looking for a job and have noticed an increase in the type of questions being asked about race, sex, health conditions, etc when applying for a job. Most options have the ability to answer "rather not specify" or something to that effect. How would you recommend answering…
I accepted a role and am mid-way through the on-boarding process. However, I received a call on Friday that the job I really wanted (after 2 weeks of no contact) has decided to make me an offer. Am I eligible to back out of the role I accepted?
