I really need to get out of my head... So yesterday I did this thing. I interviewed for an executive role at this org that is aligned with my experience and personal values. It was the final round, and I had to present my task assignment. I know I did well and this little voice…

I interviewed for a job. Sounds okay but they want 8-5. Also work every other weekend and Holidays. I have a child and didn’t mention that but is this too much? It’s definitely not work/life balance but I guess the demands are what they are. Not sure what to do.
Timing letter of resignation Moving from one corporate job to another. New employer’s internal recruiter asked for a start date but I haven’t gone through formal background check, etc. I don’t expect any issues; however, I tend to be cautious and don’t want to put my resignation…
Building a conscious and mindful business. I have found it easy to fall into the busy trap of growing a business and steer clear of productive ways of achieving this goal. What are the best ways to stay true to your vision and build momentum for your business?
If you worked for a company that "allowed" ostracism , bullies, racism, sexual discrimination would you consider a lawsuit? The sexual is not physical but comments and jokes about women, telling customers " you know what its like working with women" Racism is not directed toward…
I just received the nicest rejection email. I know that sounds really odd. It wasn’t some cut and paste form letter from an HR recruiter. It was from the hiring manager, who personalized the email by letting me know they went with an internal candidate, citing specific examples…
My manager just asked me to “change the way I work” which means efficiently so that they can justify a new hire to assist my department. I don’t see how compromising my performance should be used in this way.
About to implode over hiring process in which I'm the hiring manager. HR Managers, what can I do to make this process be more positive and more likely to succeed? I posted a higher level job last week for which we've requested 5 years of experience and a bachelor's degree as the…
What to do when women tear down other women? A female colleague has a reputation with some as one who is not to be trusted. People told me to watch myself around her as she uses people to get ahead. Call it naive, but I thought this colleague was a better person than that. I was…
My company just released their new parental leave policy - they offer up to 12 weeks of paid maternity - but the pay is 50% of base pay. While its great that the policy isn't *nothing* like the USA promises, it still puts a financial burden on our family. I certainly can't afford…

Review time at week 4 of my new job I have been at my current job for 3 weeks. Today is the first day of week 4. It's review time, and I've been asked to review myself already. The questions are detailed, many I've not really had the chance to do or be. One of the issues I'm…
I am the director of a non-profit. In my role, I have seven direct reports, each of which has 10-12 sites they are responsible for. Among the seven that report directly to me, my newest hire has begun to attack and argue with me in open meetings. She does not do this in our daily…
I am currently working a temp job at an art gallery but it is extremely inconsistent and its been four weeks since I was last called in. I enjoy the job itself. But not only is the pay lower than I initially thought, but I am also in a precarious financial situation with credit…
I am feeling a bit inadequate. I am 30 years old and I've had many different jobs. Most of them don't last more than a year. Either I leave or get fired for whatever reason. I consider myself intelligent and I do my best at first. But as time goes on, I just get more and more…
