I'm in a stuck in a disappointing and stressful situation. I moved for a job that I was so excited about and it's been filled with problems since the first day. I'm trying to remain positive but I'm reaching my breaking point. Since I sunk all my money into moving and I'm barely…

Workplace abuse is workplace abuse. This is going to be short but it's something that means everything to me. As a woman who has been both sexually harassed and racially discriminated against in the workplace, I can say that the impact of BOTH was EQUALLY horrific. If you work in…

Has anyone ever resigned while on vacation? I am currently on vacation and will receive an offer next week which I'm going to happily accept. If I'm ooto during 1 of the 2 weeks for notice, does it still count as 2 weeks notice?

Is HR violating my rights under FMLA? I work for local government and have been with the organization for four years. Two years ago, I had a medical issue that resulted in an intense surgery. I was placed on FMLA, which was used intermittently throughout the rest of that year.…

What do you do when you have a boss that is mistreating you for making a complaint? I have a boss who is upset in regards to a complaint that was made against him. They have been micromanaging me and doing things to make things hard. The handbook states that it is ok to make a…

Hi! Last month I went through all rounds of interviews for a position and was eventually told they were choosing to move on to a candidate with a bit more experience. I know I qualify for this position and still see it posted weeks later. Is it worth re-pitching myself? Or…

Not the one dropping the ball. In a prior job, I had a boss who had a hard time passing off work, even simple tasks (I'm told by former co-workers that this is still an issue). As a result, people in the organization would frequently email him for an update on the status of a…

Unhappy with my job - feeling depressed and anxious I've had the hardest time adjusting to my corporate job. Normally, I'm a very centered person, but I keep feeling off about this job. I keep trying to go with the flow but my body is reacting as if I have no control over it in…

Exposure to racist behavior and workplace bullying. One of the most debilitating experiences for racial minorities is watching workplace bullying and hostile tactics that are only applied to certain racial demographics on teams. I am watching one of my Black male colleagues…

I recently found out I am one of the lowest paid people on the team I manage. I have one employee that is extremely difficult. Though very knowledgeable he is extremely passive aggressive. What is my best recourse for higher pay? Should I just find a higher paying job? Would a…

Unreasonable workload with no end in sight I've been with my organization for about 2.5 years. I had a great manager who retired after my first year and since then, have had two managers. Both have been supportive but very busy. In the meantime, the workload has been piling up…

Coworker throwing me under the bus So my coworker told me that she had been put on a PIP a few weeks ago. Up until then, we were relatively friendly and even exchanged texts occasionally. But since then, she has been actively throwing me under the bus at every chance she can get.…

I’ve been told twice from two different people at two different jobs that I have a grumpy face. Once was by a person in HR (don’t get me started) and the second was I person I interviewed with for a job I want. They were both women, fyi. my question is, how do I fix my grumpy…

Hi everyone, I need some advice. I had a second round interview on 7/6 for a job that I really want. Immediately after the interview, I sent a thank you email to the two women from the department that I interviewed with. After not hearing anything for two weeks, I followed up…

I was on FMLA for 12 weeks to take care of my very sick child. The day after I returned to work full-time, I was put on a PIP and given a disciplinary notice (all news to me, none of what they were saying was brought up before). I was given a termination date "if things didn't…

I recently (less than 6 months ago) accepted a new position that has not turned out as promised. A major driver for accepting the role (a step back/down from my then-current role) was the opportunity to succeed my boss as the department leader. During the interviews, I was clear…

What to make of this feedback? I applied for a job last week as a Program Officer. It's a role that I have two years of experience in with my previous employer before parting ways. Last night, I received a rejection email from where I applied for this new position stating that,…

Now I remember why I left. I left my previous company for new opportunities.The new position was draining with minimal flexibility. Although the perks were great they overlook internal employees for promotions. I've seen people try for years but decide to leave. I was offered a…

I need advice. I started a part time job and when I was talking to them about accepting the job I explained that my daughter would be starting therapy soon and would need one day a week off each week. It is in retail so I am scheduled any day of the week and often week every…
