I am required to take weekend Business trips without any benefits in return. Is this normal? I just started a new job in Medical Device Business Development which has a very rigid in person work schedule. I am here 8-5 without much wiggle room even to leave a tad early. I have to…

With nearly 20 million adults in the US having Long Covid symptoms, how is the best way to transition to a new career? I previously had a fairly physical career, in the military & then in manufacturing, but am unable to do that work now. I'm trying to segway my years of…

Please be nice. I am suffering from severe depression, and anxiety. I am seeking help. In a nutshell, no pun intended, I am really losing my ability to function. I am going to see a psychiatrist on Monday, and I was able to get some intake type sessions with a therapist. First…

The small business I've worked for over 15 years is starting to struggle due to supply chain issues, and layoffs are on the table (supposedly not in my department, but I am still concerned). The company is also considering a move to a different building, since the one we are in…

I feel so frustrated at work - not receiving recognition, being passed up for promotion, senior leaders doubting my ability/capability, and a narcissist manager. Working for a big organization should not come at this cost. At the same time, I am not getting the kind of traction…

I had to turn down 2 job offers in June because of timing. At the time I turned them down, I told them I would be looking in about a year. Both hiring managers told me to stay in touch. In your experience, do they really mean that? And what is the best way to "stay in touch"?

Just out of curiosity, for you ladies that are looking for jobs while still employed, how much time in the evenings and weekends do you devote to your search? How long does it take you to send out maybe five resumes in one evening? For me I find that it takes a while. First off,…

My question is it normal for a job to be posted on indeed before they reach out to recruiters? I’m not sure how recruiters work in the market. I am new to the job market and all of the tools and recruiters. I was contacted be a recruiter this week. She explained they just…

Remote workers, is there anything you've had to pay the price for in order to have remote flexibility? Remote work is seemingly glorified in the world of work today— but with every good thing, there's bound to be some cons. Let us know in the comments what cons you've experienced…

I didn’t “speak up” first. A coworker put in his two weeks yesterday. My other, much-less experienced, coworker had mentioned he had an interest in said resigning coworker’s line of work for the past few weeks. This is the equivalent of an intern expressing interest in being…

I am 4 months pregnant. Before I found out I was pregnant, I started looking for and applying to new jobs. Many of the recruiters and jobs have just started to get back to me. I have a few great opportunities, but am hesitant to act on them because of maternity leave. Only a few…

I have been in my job as a senior team lead 4 years, promised a raise and title change 3 of those years. Hasn't happened yet and they just hired a new guy who reports to me but they gave him the title I should've had all along and also the compensation I've been waiting and…

How do I write an email addressing gas-lighting to my boss who also pays us very late, yet never accounts to employees? Firstly, this employer of mine has gas-lit a few of my colleagues. Out of a lack of knowledge and because he and I got along, I really believed that my…

Should I Travel to an Optional On-site Meeting Right Before I Quit? I’ve only been at this job for three months. Unfortunately, it’s not a good fit and I have another opportunity. I’m feeling pressured to travel tomorrow for an on-site meeting, even though I plan to put in my two…

I’m a senior female engineer. I don’t like the way I’m being communicated to from my manager and I’ve noticed it is affecting me. Do I communicate to the manager about this? If so, any recommendations? Do I go to his manager for support? What is a professional way to make it so I…

I'm a VA. My client asked for invoices every 2 weeks. They are always paid late - basically they pay the old invoice when the new one is given. This summer though, they are >2 invoices behind. When do you say "no pay, no work"?

Question for my fellow data analysts/scientists/etc. I'm in my second year as a BI engineer at a popular global manufacturer that hired me mid-MBA. Prior to this role I had a 6 month internship with another global auto manufacturer and worked in several small start-ups (5 year…

Not sure what to do. I've been in my role for almost 2 yrs now. Within a month of starting. New manager was hired. His approach is very micromanaging and his communication skills are lacking. He prefers to talk to the men the team more than the women. I've tried numerous times to…

Job hunting in your 40s isn't easy. I feel like I am never going to find a job that not only values my skill set, but is willing to compensate me fairly. At my age, I feel like job hunting is risky. I found my niche in my field, but finding a way to incorporate my program and…
