Question about re-applying for the same job Hi, FBG-ers! Last fall I was recruited for a high level position in an organization similar to mine, but in a city where I used to live. I was very excited about it, and even made it to the "they'll fly me in for f2f interviews"…
Is this now the new trend? I’m in my mid 50’s, I don’t look my age and have done well in sales my entire career. I’ve been looking for a new job but it seems like most companies are either paying very low base + commission or straight commission nowadays. To top it off, they’re…
Corporate Bullying - getting it out - learning to move on I've recently move on from a "Big4" consulting role. This is a job I really enjoyed for a while, it challenged me, I was learning every day, and was beginning to develop opportunities for myself I was excited about. Late…

not feeling appreciated at work I've been working for a large org for a few years. While I've received great feedback and enjoy the job, I do not feel appreciated. I'm often left out of recognition and other kudos items. Even when I've achieved something leadership recognizes,…
Folks want your opinion on something my designation in my current company ( i have been using this since 2021 and a few months ago a prefix was added to this designation post my promotion). Now there is someone else at my company in a different department who since last month has…
I left a WFH job I really enjoyed for a sales job that promised more money, more time etc. Now I absolutely hate this new job and it is nothing like they said in the interview. Its only been 60 days should I give it more time or try to move on?
How do you regain your confidence? I am losing my confidence. I started reporting to a new boss, who doesn't seem to have a nice word for me. However, if I make a mistake, he is quick to point it out. A lot of criticism, but no recognition. Previously I had a really supportive…
I had an interview with the group on Friday. The director asked if I was available for a brief zoom call on Tuesday. Is this typical for a job offer or rejection ??
Good work. I like the idea of working in healthcare, in administration. It sounds like I'm working at something of intrinsic value. I have an interview with a travel company, which isn't really intrinsically valuable. Heck I know I overthink everything. I'm going to interview and…
How do I tell my boss I want to step down from being a lead on the team because they haven’t changed my title or increased my pay? A few months ago my manager left for a new role and instead of hiring a new manager they hired a co-worker at my level. He had no experience using…

I hired an ex-colleague from a previous job who was a fantastic mentor, manager and engineer. After 90 days in the new role, this person is not meeting expectations. This person comes in late, leaves early. The only communication I get is about vacation days, bonus payout, and…

I’m in a hostile work environment and unfortunately have been struggling with lack of flexibility with my work schedule for childcare needs. We recently learned our child now has a learning disability and the ADA doesn’t support work accommodations for family members with…
Now what? Back in January, I turned in notice. My boss asked what needed to happen to keep me. I gave him a list of four items that needed to change and he verbally agreed to make them happen. (I know, should have asked for in writing). Now it's July and I have slowly watched…
I’d love some advice on an offer I received. I’m currently unemployed due to layoffs earlier this year, but have welcome the break to recover from some serious burnout. I just started the job search and received an offer pretty quickly. My experience is spot on for the role, and…
