Salary-shamed by my manager, any advice? I have been working as a senior manager for the last decade and was fortunate enough to be compensated relatively well in big corporations. At my current company I have a good work-life balance but no room to grow and no support for…
Not sure where to start... I'm 34 years old. I'm currently an operations/office assistant at a moving company and if I stay there I have no doubt I'll move up eventually, but the training isn't exactly organized. It's more like when the other 3 people in my office have time. or…
I gave up on work life balance! My goal is to achieve Life-Work Fulfillment. The word “life” comes first because having a fulfilling life is my priority. Work is a part of my life. I focus on what are the things I need to do to feel fulfilled in my personal and professional life.…
Should I place importance on salary when looking for my next role? I have been doing lots of soul-searching over the years and came to the realisation that I am likely on the autistic spectrum. My mental health has been declining since the death of my mother 4 years ago, she was…
Complicated tasks are assigned to me. I'm beginning to notice that complicated and more technical tasks are assigned to me at work. Whilst I'm enjoying the challenge, I'm slowly begin to resent it as there is no recognition (financial or other). Why don't bosses acknowledge this?
Hello friends! I’ve been a member of this group for two years and I’m green read advice. This is the first time I am asking for some. I am 50 years old and working in a place that is toxic. The mid 20 something staff who I work with refuse to communicate with me and undermined my…
I was layed off (second round of layoffs with this round consisting of 400 people) and I can't say it was unexpected. They had recently liquidated one of their subsidiaries and they said massive layoffs would occur. When the first layoff occurred it was a psychic trauma to see so…
How do you cope with feeling under-valued as an employee who gives their all in every situation? I continuously go above and beyond while four of my co-workers just skate by. Of the four who are slackers, two are one/two tardies awat from being fired, one is a closet alcoholic…
I work with a Team Member who has been drinking while on the clock. He comes to work full of energy most of the time. Lately by the end of the night he is loudly verbally abusive towards mist of the management team. To the point that he is banned from working certain shifts with…
I’m a new people manager and I tend to try to please others and be accommodating. I know I need to temper that a bit as a line manager but how do I stay true to myself but not get taken advantage of in this new role?
Where do I go from here? I have a masters degree, about a decade of professional experience, and I am in my early 30s. About one year ago I started a project manager job that is highly specialized within a large nonprofit. I took the role because the compensation was the best I…
How honest would you be about why you've decided to find a new job and resign? I have to resign from my job next week and while I can provide my boss with a few true reasons for moving on that don't have much to do with my work and the org at large, the real reason I'm leaving is…
I was filling out an application for a job that looks very interesting, and I know I could do well. The salary is a little lower than I'd hoped but the job looked interesting enough to give a try. One of the required entries was this: "Please share a link to a video in which you…
I've been at my current job for 4 months, and I hate it. I feel like I've taken major steps back in responsibilities, autonomy, and growing desired skill sets. While I work for a large company, I can't find any roles that fit me. Is it okay to look somewhere else?
2 weeks or 1 month notice? I've accepted a new job and begin on June 1. I am debating my options on how much notice to give my current employer - one month or two weeks? I want to work until the end of May for accounting reasons (I get paid once a month and I know our accountant…
Stay or Go I started in a leadership role in a new company, in a not so ideal situation. There was a person that was not performing so I was brought into lead this team instead of that person. It's been awkward since day one as you can imagine.... That person now has resigned so…
How do you resign without telling where you're going? I will be leaving my current company for a better opportunity very soon and don't care to name the organization. It's a natural question for my boss and colleagues to ask and they'll find out soon enough via linkedin, but I…
Another level hired above me I am struggling with a new layer of management. My old manager is now my new manager's boss. I like this person but they are constantly doing my job and directing my team. It's only been a few months but I've already felt my team going directly to her…
Excited regarding my new job but I'm not receiving support from my manager. This a high-level position and while I don't mind taking the lead, I've had two brief conversations with my supervisor and I'm leading a large team. I'm so confused as I was excited about starting at the…
Writing a generic cover letter for my leaders. During my annual review, I indicated to my manager and director that I was interested in finding a new role elsewhere in the company. Reasons for wanting to leave are because they are largely clueless as leaders, do nothing to…
