Only one on the "team". I took a job as an Office Manager, only to find out that the "team" they talked about during interviewing and offer consisted only of myself. The office is empty most of the time and there is a lack of consistent and willing communication between the…
I'm guilty of "quiet quitting" and have no motivation. I recently took a week off, but it wasn't enough. I was hoping to come back refreshed but I'm still feeling super burnt out for a ton of reasons (management, poor culture, unclear growth trajectory, an incredibly busy…
Stuck and stressed. Recently I was issued a first and final written warning at work. I was accused of saying vulgar and derogatory comments to another coworker. The problem is I didn’t. Not even close. The coworker who accused me of this had been underhandedly causing me problems…

Exhausted by the drama I’ve been the head of our small company’s IT department for 10+ years. Eight months ago, we hired a new Office Manager Rachel, who is early in her career. We became work-friends as she expressed interest in being mentored in technology. Rachel is also new…
Contacted to interview for a contract role at a large corporation while in rounds for permanent positions. I'm having the intro interview next week but if offered the role, would it be worth taking a short stint at a Fortune 500 company or focus on securing a full-time position?…
So this is my situation: I work for a company that has at least 300,000 employee consultant firm. I was hired after graduation 10 months ago as a fresher business analyst. I have been on two projects since then. The second project they were supposed to relocate me but I guess…

I'm feeling guilty about even potentially leaving my organization. I work in retail, and there are many factors which led to me applying to a bunch of different jobs a couple of weeks ago. The biggest nail in the coffin was not getting a raise at my annual performance review…

Need a pep talk I have been at my job for 4 years and it’s been tough from the start with a challenging culture that is bro-like and colleagues actively trying to make my job harder. I have done well despite this and potentially on a path to promotion but no promises. It’s been…
I’ve changed jobs a lot and my resume reflects as much. Generally not things that are petty- employers not being financially stable and a few abusive bosses (current role includes a combination of both and I’ve only been here 4 months). I interviewed yesterday and was asked to…

I haven't worked in over 10 years, and I'm pretty sure that's why nobody will hire me. I have applied to many jobs, and have had several interviews. I'm starting to get discouraged.
