Should HR have people on their social media and hang out with workers? I have been seeing this lately with the HR at my job

Your manager is not your friend. Just need to remind myself. Don’t share your personal life. I am glad I did not share mine. My boss is not happy with me because I am going on medical leave for a month. She also promoted my younger coworker over me, as I have been at the company…

What is your advice if an employee is passively undermining you? My former boss (who has retired) and my former boss' boss (who is now my direct reporting boss) and all know what she's doing and they're all trying to support me while going through this because she’s an employee…

I am going to grad school on a full scholarship and don’t know when to tell my company. I am headed to grad school in the fall and I’ve been holding off telling my company for fear they will let me go early. I have a big trip coming up and was planning on telling them in July…

I’m currently completing my last two weeks on a contract position at a tech startup, that was treated like a salaried position with no set end date (one week left). One of the main reasons I’m being let go is my colleague’s refusal to collaborate with me on anything the company…

I started a new job and have only had one full day on the floor (it’s a warehouse job). The actual work or concept I guess isn’t difficult but it is physical and it is ten hours on my feet bending, stretching, lifting, and climbing. I expected it to be uncomfortable the first few…

I work in Sales for a big tech company. I speak and email people from all around the world all day long. They ask where I live and while I’m honest about the state, I lie about the exact location for my safety. The other day I was speaking to a customer and somehow he knew my…

Activities to do in 1 month bridge time off between jobs Hello, After successfully managing to get off from a toxic environment and having another job lined up from June, I have now 1 month of free time. What are your suggestions of things to do for recovering after the previous…

I have a current job I've been at for almost a year. I am leaving in mid July to go to grad school in August (I got a full scholarship!); Ive told my boss this already, not sure if he's told his boss who is the director of our Center. Last week I had multiple major projects due…

Hello all! I could really use some wisdom. Apologies in advance for the long thread. I’ve been working in a unique position as a dedicated capacity engineer for a large bank, and have created an extensive program that’s passed control and audit checks on multiple occasions. I’ve…

Hi everyone! What would you do if a client is actively undermining you? My boss and my boss' boss and my boss' boss' boss all know what she's doing and they're all trying to help me change the narrative by pushing back to the cloent, still letting me take the lead and not…

I feel as though my job is taking over my life. A few months ago, I was reprimanded for being behind in my work. I was told that if it happens again, that I will be fired. Since then, I have been experiencing anxiety every day . I have been resenting my coworkers and putting my…

New Job Adjustments... I recently started a new job at a much larger institution that is super exciting. I love the job, the place I am working and the people are lovely. I'm struggling with being placed in a teeny tiny cube after over 10 years of having my own office. LOL, this…

I feel a little stagnant in my current role but love my company. I've reached out for a mentor in another department to learn more about different areas. What's the best way to communicate to my boss that I am still committed to my role but that I'd like to potentially work in…

First VP role in tech with a company full of male directors Hello, I need advice. I accepted a VP of Sales role almost a year ago at a company that’s been around for 30 years but is still run as a startup. I’m one of the few women here, and I’m the only other woman at the…

My company put out an "Anonymous" survey asking questions which supposedly go towards the "best places to work" contest. It occurred to me, does management see our answers or is it truly anonymous? Some of the questions were along the lines of "are you happy in your job?", *Have…

I don't want to be a people manager. I'm content as an IC in my role. I have over 15 years of experience, and I've found that I don't like managing others. I've done it in the past and it hasn't been the greatest experience, as I've never had mentors, I've been in toxic…

"Retired" on a Resume My division employs a staff of 25, and in the past five years, has had a turnover of 24 (some positions several times over.) A handful left to retire, but most couldn't handle the awful director and executive team. Being the only remote employee living…
