Grey Hair in the Workplace Last month my two months without dye finally "showed" up. I'll be 60 in January and had dark, dark brown hair. Someone thought I had had a stroke! I had an accident as a child that makes my face off center, if that makes sense. I think the skunk streak…

I recently had to fire a popular manager for unethical and unprofessional behavior. Now her staff are angry and want to know details that are confidential. I have told them that releasing confidential HR information is against company policy but now they are accusing me of a…

After the pandemic, I desired to relocate somewhere warm. After a year of searching it wasn’t remote as desired and landed an on-site opportunity. I don’t want to sound ungrateful, however, this job could be done remotely and most days there isn’t much to do (a blessing and a…

Career Transition Into Tech I've spent the last 12 years working in the hospitality industry (most recently as a general manager) but am looking to switch careers into tech. I will graduate with my BS in Software Engineering in July and am looking for advice on how to best…

New Job Woes I started a new leadership role but didn't realize how big of a mess I inherited. These includes years of mistakes that need to be fixed, bad decisions that will need to be undone to redo, and band aid approach to things that are archaic and now catching up to their…

Heading back into workforce at age 57. Skillset is soft - which does not translate into jobs that make an income that allows much breathing room. I send out about 50-resumes a week. I research interesting companies, use Indeed, LinkedIn, et. Any job boards that I should include?

Serious question here. A co-worker left his merit document out by accident. I looked at it, and felt under achieved. I do more work behind him, an including my own work. I've been with the company 20+ years, and he has barely 7 mts experience. Jobs don't move in the department…

Experiencing blatant discrimination at my company I am experiencing blatant discrimination at my company on many different levels. I have had a colleague come into my office yelling and screaming at me with the HR Manager present. I decided to take the high road and did not…

Exit Interview I have worked for my company for 2.5 years, and was contacted by the parent company HR Director, whom I have never met, or was aware of, that my employer was eliminating my remote position. I worked very closely with the employer throughout the pandemic and beyond.…

Should I take this job if it's offered? I got laid off last August and have been applying to jobs ever since. My job searches are usually not as difficult as this one has been--the only other times I've had this much trouble finding a job were as a recent graduate with no…

Is there a way to be moved to a manager who you really want to work for? I report to one manager on paper but support three others throughout my workday. There is a particular director I love working for-- we work together very well and I'm able to understand what they need…

Why is this not discriminatory behavior due to age and/or color? I was hired as a manager over recruiters for corporate roles equal to a manager that handled field roles. I’ve been given an option to move to a Sr. recruiter, demoted to work alongside the team I manage or take the…

I have worked for a week as a full-time scheduled intern (non-tech) for a manufactory company although I've graduated couple years ago. I was thinking they will offer me a full-time position maybe a few months later so I asked my manager this afternoon if there is going to be a…

My boss has forgotten and/or canceled my last three one-on-one meetings. I am starting to feel like my boss (and the company) doesn't really care about my work. Is that a valid feeling after three canceled meetings? Should I let my boss know that's how I feel, or should I just…

My direct supervisor does not get along with the larger team. As a person who is very passionate about promoting EDI in the workplace, my direct supervisor has been really critical about certain protocols around the office. I personally think that she is being excessively…

How can I make myself look less qualified on paper? After nearly 15 years, I am leaving the extremely high-stress industry of legal practice. I'm not retiring, necessarily, but I want to spend at least the next 3-5 years doing something completely different while I rehab my sense…

Do I go back? Six months ago I left my role at a well respected non profit that I had been at for over 7 years. I had gotten a few promotions but they always felt like half attempts to satisfy me without actually fully promoting me and taking the work I had been doing off my…

Coworker won't take feedback...at all I have a coworker that will not take feedback at all. If you offer a suggestion, she will just keep defending herself over and over again until finally my coworkers and I just wear down, get mentally exhausted, and let her have her way even…

I'm really struggling to find a job. I have applied now to over 500 jobs with 0 interviews. I understand the job market is tough but I am now at breaking point as to what to do. I have tailored my cv, quantified it, the whole lot but still no such luck. I ask the recruiters if I…

Federal employee, new to a career, made the mistake of becoming friends with a coworker. I thought this was a good person, we would talk about the job and home, did things outside of work, and things seemed okay. I confided in this person when I made a bad mistake at work…
