How often do you give feedback to your boss? I've been reading that people want feedback more often than just when performance reviews come around. Do you regularly share feedback with your boss? And if so, how and when do you do so?

Hey all, I have an interview on Friday and am extremely nervous. I'm 80% certain that I'm qualified for the job. The thing that's holding me up is that it's in another industry. I've worked in hospitality (hotels and restaurants) and this is in a hospital (non nursing). Any…

I'm a Federal employee stuck at the GS13 level. I got my first GS13 posting in 2010. Since then I've switched agencies three times - each time I'm promised there's room to grow, but it becomes obvious after the first year that 14s are almost impossible to get. At one point I…

Would it be unusual for a manager to be asked to witness an employee’s health care proxy form in a non-emergency situation? (Simply to sign as a witness, in order to complete the form as “valid” with a 2nd signature.)

A coworker was suddenly fired. She told me later that she thinks our company is listening to our MS Teams calls - either the audio and/or reading the transcript of calls. We know they monitor Slack, not because they disclose this, just word getting out. This is maybe naive, but…

I don’t know who needs to hear this but you are not your job. I started a new role and I was very set on reframing my relationship with work because I got so stressed at my old job I developed a chronic illness. It might be a combination of the new working environment but I have…

Never have I ever been treated so poorly by a manager Never have I ever been treated so poorly by a manager. A few months ago, during my 90-day check-in with my supervisor, I inquired about opportunities for visibility with executive leadership since I am in a senior leadership…

Can't seem to find the perfect balance when applying for jobs I know the job market is competitive but I'm either qualified or under qualified.I'm told by recruiters that they found great positions and my background is a great fit for sales support/sales ops positions but still…

What to do if you’re terminated - poor fit and poor supervisor. I have been in my role for about 5 months. It has been a bad fit since the start. They don’t have me doing what I was hired to do. My supervisor is a supreme micromanager who has no grace for even the smallest of…

I moved to a new team within my company while I was pregnant. In the new role everything seemed to be going well -- my manager was happy with my work, my projects were rolling and everything seemed to be going fine. Then I got sick -- I developed preeclampsia, my baby was born…

I am struggling with a situation. I have been working with a new team for a few months and myself and another peer are considered the team leads. My issue is this peer. Going into this new team, I thought we would collaborate and share ideas for the team and even after I…

I need an advice. I am working at an unhealthy working environment where the boss & management are macromanaging, rude, narcissistic and racist. It is very toxic that I am thinking of resigning without plan B. I am the only one that has lasted this long (8 months), most of my…
