Wacky interview that I'm still trying to understand! I was prepared, had questions ready and researched the company. The online interview was with a prominent member of the organization. During the meeting, the interviewer kept asking me questions about myself but before I could…

One of my bosses is in his mid-80s. He has had a very long and successful career and he is currently reaching the point where he will retire soon. He is still very sharp and he works hard. A few people in our office have made snide remarks to me about how he shouldn’t even be…

I'm in my mid-40s and I've gotten really frustrated with the tech industry. I've been a programmer and a software development manager, and being a woman in this field feels like death by a thousand cuts. I was laid off some time ago, then started a business which isn't paying the…

It says "No Side Business" in my employee handbook, but... I want to be prepared in the coming months where we will discuss raises. I did not get a raise last year, and with the cost of services/goods increasing, I need more money to support my family (and currently expecting a…

Potential job offer I was contacted by an outside recruiter, about a job opportunity for a client. I am definitely qualified for the job and it seems like a good opportunity. I went through the phone screens and I'm now moving to the next step, which is the video interview with…

I was terminated from my job a few months ago. I was given a reason (not meeting my quarterly goals and an alleged HR complaint) but it honestly still doesn't make any sense and I was never given a direct answer. I was always a top notch employee with great performance reviews. I…

There is a misconception deeply rooted in the unconscious, and it is the fact that leaders are perfect and never make mistakes. The reality is quite the opposite; being a leader does not automatically make you a know-it-all. Sometimes you make bad decisions without even noticing…

Laid off about 3 years back. Still struggling to get back. Any advice? I have about 25 years of experience in Ops. Not getting many calls. What am I doing wrong?

I'm interviewing for a promotion type position and I'm sitting here writing an email to my interviewers (it's internal). And I just thought, Does anyone do these anymore? Or do you feel interview thank you emails are outdated?

Toxic environments and unstimulating workplace I am an architect. In August I resigned from my previous job because my boss was toxic. I was mentally and emotionally drained; the work I was doing when I look back on it for my portfolio - I regressed drastically and was doing work…

I recently was told to ask my boss for a potential mid level position that would be opening up. She shot me down stating that I wouldn't be able to dedicate the time due to me being a single mother.

Asking to move into a new role when everyone in your current department is very happy with your work I'm good at my job but I've had it. I've been in the job for 1.5 years and I'm going to lose my mind if I stay any longer. There are a few roles available in another section that…

I've been at a new job for two months. The people I am working with have messed up, made mistakes, ignored things that are crucial to getting the work done, and no one seems to say a word to them. Yet if I don't know something or make a mistake - mind you, I am still new -…
