I accepted an offer for a Talent Acquisition partner and reported directly to the VP of HR. She was let go and I reported to another VP who took her place. I have worked in HR for 17 years and recently took and passed the SPHR certification because I was hoping to be promoted…

I've officially hit my 90 days Mark at this new job. I had supervision scheduled every week for 8 weeks and now not anymor e. While this is a new job, I found out I was pregnant recently - this is a tech role. I'm the youngest and the newest on the job. I am in my first trimester…

Anyone else facing the holiday hiring slump? I have a successful interview but told after receiving positive affirmations throughout the meeting, if selected for the next round, I'll be contacted in a few weeks. I'm continuing to explore other opportunities as I've learned the…

Getting hired with a disability I am disabled but I can work. I know I don't have to disclose my medical condition in an interview; however, I am required to see my doctor once a month. If I'm hired, I'll have to take time off in just a matter of 1-4 weeks (depending on when I'm…

What should I say to recruiters/hiring managers for why I am looking for a new job after only 1 year? The real reasons include: being lied to about work/life balance and the workload, being moved to a different role/department than I interviewed for less than 2 weeks after my…

I recently retired from a high stress, salaried position. I took a very part-time hourly wage position. As part of this job, I am expected to answer emails and phone calls and manage a social media account--outside my regular hours. When I mentioned this to my director, she just…

Ageism is real Without saying it directly while interviewing with a company behind the scenes comments were made about "keeping up with me", and recently when a job description was created for me to fill a role, someone else was hired without even contacting me. It's unfortunate…

I received a written warning for an error I made. I was doing a task I rarely do and I forgot to do something. I signed the written warning. Should I send an explanation to human resouces explaining the reason for the error and stating I will be more careful in the future? Thanks…

So I’ve been having an issue with my General Manager since he’s taken over the store that I’ve been working at since 2020. I’ve been with the company for almost six years and honestly, it’s had a lot of ups and downs, but I’ve made it through a lot of changes including…

Feeling anxious about my job and the future. It also doesn’t help that it feels like my manager doesn’t like me. I’ll start from the beginning. A couple of years ago I applied for a QA technician job at the factory I currently worked at. I applied because I wanted to earn more…

I inherited a worker who's not fit for the job. I just started a role at a new company, leading a small team. The person with the supervisor title on the team is a satisfactory role player but does not have the judgment or critical thinking skills for the supervisor title they…

I’ve been with my current company for four years. The first two years were wonderful. It was a small company and they were innovative and empowering with an amazing company culture. I had a seat at the table and a say in decision making. After integrating into the new company, it…

My company is in its busiest time of year, and they are closing the office Thanksgiving week so that we can all be “more productive” and “not waste time commuting”. This, despite a mandated RTO back in April. It’s like they finally, accidentally admitted that remote work…

Interviewing with a company and it requires 8 rounds. Has anyone faced this before and I'd appreciate your advice regrading how to get this amount of time off for each round? If it was only a few there's PTO, sick day, doctor but that many and due to my position at the company,…

When you are drawn to hard-to-describe jobs... I'm curious to hear from others who have very unique, somewhat hard to describe work histories - how do you think about your 5-year plan or next career steps when you've never walked a straight line? For context: since I left school,…

I completed 7 months in a company and this is my first job. At first the whole team would praise my work and efforts but recently I started to get comments like don't take advantage of the situation, why to pay you when you are not at all working! I kept my own dreams aside and…

Interview question How should you answer the question "can we contact your former employer?" is you left a job on bad terms.

My direct manager quit 3 months ago, and the company agreed to change my title, but not my pay. I picked up the slack in not just my department (covering 3 roles vacated), but in one other as well. I'm essentially a manager of two departments at this point. I scheduled a 1:2 with…

Does this meet the criteria of a hostile workplace? The VP in our organization and two managers who report to her are bullies. We’ve lost four employees in the last 6 months and others are looking, including me. No one wants to speak up in meetings. In one meeting, one manager…

my boss isnt giving me hours I am a parttimer since i am in school and right before the semester started my boss asked me when I was able to work and I said 2-3 days/ week. I then get scheduled only 1/week. Again, in Ocotber, i had the conversation with her that I would like more…
