I recently completed a second interview with what would be my new small team; all were men in an obvious hierarchy by age. The larger organization advertises a commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, but this team appears to be a boys club. My concern is, if I am offered…

Man from work not getting the hint I am a consultant and met a colleague on LinkedIn who is a super nice guy, but he’s a massive oversharer and has really taken to me. He emails me constantly (I had to block his number) and has mailed me gifts. I can’t tell if he’s hitting on me…

How do you know what a fair salary for your work is? I apologize for length. I'll start off by saying that it is truly sinking in that my workplace is at best, terribly managed, and at worst, toxic. I feel in my gut that I should find somewhere else to work, but until that…

I quit a month ago, but should I submit anything to HR? I was in a role in another department and was quite happy until I was forced ("promoted") into another department. I was extremely reluctant as this new department had a reputation for being "catty." Well, I became…

I think it's time to move on from this. Do you? A couple of weeks ago I interviewed with a company that seemed really anxious to interview me quickly. First there was a phone interview, then we arranged for me to meet with them in person the following day. One person, who was out…

As we begin to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, I'd like to share a little about my heritage and how it has contributed to who I am today… I grew up in Colombia, a country where people are warm and nurturing, We like to dance cumbia and salsa, and listen to vallenatos. When…

I recently, interviewed for a position with three different individuals and I received notice that the very 1st person wants to speak with me again. Not sure why? Should I ask the Recruiter? I am not sure what else I can tell her about myself and my experience. I am going into…

New hire has many absences and upper management is starting to notice - am I overreacting? I hired a FT warehouse/shipping/receiving person 3 months ago. It's a 40 hr/week position with no real overttime opportunity. She's good worker and generally on time and at her station…
