how do you walk away with pride and professionalism? I work for a very demanding and inconsiderate boss. The work just piles up and gratitude is rarely shown, if ever. Everyone is miserable, including me. We just have very different styles and are not a good fit for one another…

Hired a new employee, red flags during interview. From day 1 there have been demands of scheduling accommodations and days off. Most recently complained, to my superior, my training was not detailed and he was not catching on. I am trying to work with him but he is not catching…

It's almost been two years since I completed a rigorous nine-month, three-nights-a-week Full Stack Developer bootcamp, with the anniversary coming up on the 10th next month. The job market has proven to be quite a challenge, and I'm currently on the hunt for a full-time remote…

Taking leave for a month How would I go about taking a month of leave in December (and legally have my job held for me)? I am super burnt out, going through some health issues that I haven’t shared with my manager yet (do I even need to? Thought that type of information was…

I got the job! I am so excited about the new role I am going into. I get to be in a place that truly values the employees. I know the COO and CFO from a previous firm I worked with, and I get to work with them again. The only downside is that my commute is going to be longer (oh…

My direct supervisor is a lousy manager. It is mind-boggling to me how he is an executive of a Fortune 250 company and has no empathy, no regarding for feelings, and no social skills. I have worked for him for 1.5 years and he has made no effort to get to know me on a human…
