What is happening with the level of spam on here?? I don’t need to know about booking on Alaska Airlines, car rentals, or Coinbase.

It feels like something has changed at Fairygod oss in the last 3 years. Content isn’t being curated for relevance. In today’s email, the headline was “How to get a refund from Expedia.” Previous posts include how to contact Frontier Airline and also the never ending “I’m looking…

I have been in my position for 8 years and oddly enough, i'm the only one that truly knows my job, despite training others. My current supervisor have been here for 4 years and still don't know her job, let alone mine. My current issue is she went and manually changed my time to…

Six interviews, 2 assessments & a case study assignment / presentation and all I got was a generic “thanks but no thanks” email. Ouch. Having to make the difficult decision to pull my kids from school (preschool) at the end of September since it doesn’t appear I will have a job…

Has anyone had to deal with a clique work place, drama and/or gossip? And if so, how did you handle the situation and was there an outcome? My boss is the culprit. She pivots people against one another and talks behind employees backs. I need some advice.

And so it begins: I have a MSM in HR and my last position I was laid off due to February 2025 Federal budget cuts. Last week; started a new job as a Senior Account Manager. During the 3 phone and one video Interviews I was asked if I was Bilingual and I said "No" and was told "…

I’ve been unemployed for over a year. I usually make it past the first phone interview and even get called in for a second one, but then it’s just silence. I’m so tired of being ghosted. Even when I follow up, I don’t get a response. For example, I recently interviewed for a…

I just finished a Virtual Interview Test (2nd phase after they've weeded out some applicants). Two aspects of my answers left me concerned, and I hope to get feedback from fellow members and especially recruiters/HR: 1) My last job was a 3-month contract—I was asked about my most…

I got my dream job 4 months ago and I was thrilled! I am a Bookkeeper. Two months ago, they hired a manager who communicates through fear-mongering, yelling, slamming doors, lying to the Director, etc. I went to our Director multiple times before realizing he wasn't going to do…

What does this mean? I just had 2 interviews with 2 different organizations and they both spent a lot of time explaining to me how difficult the jobs were going to be. They were transparent that the roles were available because someone quit. While I appreciate open and honest…

Should I report my boss to hr if he is toxic

Reaching out to a former colleague you were friends with after they quit, retired or got fired A colleague I considered a friend abruptly left earlier this week, and not much has been said about their departure other than "he left our organization." I know this person was looking…

I am out on Workers Comp and recently heard from a co-worker that other co-workers were talking about my circumstance. Who besides HR should know about my situation and be allowed to talk about it? i.e. my direct manager, their manager? What kind of recourse do I have? Should I…

Advice for comments from boss - Loyalty to the team... I’ve been with the company for 5 years, while my boss has been here for 1 year. My commute is about 45 minutes, and for the past 3 years I’ve followed our hybrid schedule (2 days WFH, 3 days in-office). If we need additional…

I need help. My boss is a "figure out what to do without me." type. However, I am in a field with a team that I do not have a lot of experience in. I am an SME on my data science team but not a data scientist. She gets annoyed when I ask her for guidance because she doesn't fully…

Speaking thoughtfully under interview pressure Like many others, I was laid off a couple of months ago. Needless to say, it was a huge blow. I've been in my career field for a long time, have a ton of experience, but find it challenging to articulate my expertise under pressure,…

This happens a lot. Is it a remote job, where as a candidate could be hired in California or another state where it is expensive to live? Also, I am noticing that salaries have dropped substantially as there are a lot of people currently laid off.

Finally Hired I’m a 58 year old minority and finally landed a job. I was one of 300,000 black women laid off by the government. I had 4 interviews making it to the 4th and final round and the other candidates were chosen. I’ve applied to soo many jobs. A minority recruiter from…

Concerned about the way the new manager treats me. Is this a red flag? I've been with my company for a few years. A new manager took over our team about a year ago after the manager who hired me retired. I've gotten along well with the new manager, but I've always had the sense…

I'm just starting to interview again and I made it past a screening call last week. The range for the job was listed at 121-171k. My last job was 160K and I wanted to stay at least at the same level so this seemed great. Turns out that the job pays $125k - and when I asked about…
