Sharing Job Change on LinkedIn I start a new job tomorrow and I want to wait a week or so before announcing the change on LinkedIn. I know this may be silly, but I feel like a fraud leaving my 'old' job up during that time, but I don't want to appear unemployed or like I have a…
I was offered a better position two weeks into a new job. I am not able to put in a full two weeks notice and I am worried about repercussions even though they are jobs in two different industries. The new job is closer to home, offers the same pay, hours and benefits but also…
I am just so grateful for a space like this. I am a remote independent contractor and the culture within my largest client has become toxic. I have worked for more than a year for an educational startup where one of the co-founders has recently become more present. For months I…
I’m preparing for an internal interview and wondering the best way to ask about the leadership style of the new team’s leader. I currently work for a manager with a l growth and development mindset and I value that, but within the company there is a variety of leadership styles…
I can't take this anymore - but can't find a way out I started a new job in February and it was perfect on paper: fully remote, async work, product I love to use, and a huge increase in salary. But it started going really wrong cause of my boss - it's really hard to work with him…
I graduated yesterday with my dual MSW/MBA degrees, but I am highly discouraged that I am still out of work after six months. I am over 55, and a veteran; I am exuberant, hard working, and love working with people of all ages and backgrounds. On other job search websites I am…
My manager is always late to meetings and will reschedule 1:1s that we have weekly so many times that I can’t plan my day properly (I’ve ignored her at one point she made three changes to our meeting within the space of 45 minutes, the last being a minute before one of our catch…
I went through a betrayal at my last job that broke my heart. Someone who reported to me, that I thought was a good friend, had been talking negatively about me. Then when a new board chair came along and a new board, they let me go, and my “right hand” did not back me up. It was…
Im working in an odd situation. My boss is new to the company and position and seems to be having allot of trouble getting things done. Add into this they hire another manager working under her who seems to really wanna take the boss job. Bad mouths everychance she gets. At this…
I just received a job offer! I was optimistic after the interview but didn't really think they could match salary from my current job. They did, and for that matter, they well exceeded my expectations. It's been 3 hours and the imposter syndrome is settling in. What do you do to…
I thought I found my dream company, role, and the dream team. It's been less than a year, and I've been doing my job really well. People are singing my praises, but lately, this has started to agitate my boss. Before I dive in, let me backtrack: when I was hired, I wasn't their…
After searching for a job for months and surviving on unemployment, I accepted a role at a start-up. The pay and benefits are great, but the organization and my leadership leave much to be desired. My boss, also a woman, is new to the organization and is often unclear in her…
Question I’ve been with my company for 25 years. I’ve enjoyed my work but two coworkers, weak management that lets them run the department (they are not over anyone else) and a 45 min to an hour drive each way to the job have caused me to consider leaving. Note- I can’t do what I…
Left toxic job but can't let go One week ago, I left a toxic job. It was hard. For a long time, I loved the job. Then, the culture and a series of new hires made it a toxic place. During my last two weeks, I started the process of purposely letting go of hurts from that job. I…
Help! I have been at my company for 21 years, doing software development. I've survived four different sales of the company, and worked for the same manager for over 10 years. The company is being sold again and this time, I am being laid off. Offshore developers are much, much…
I just accepted a job with a new company. It can take 2 weeks for the background check to be complete and make it official. I want to give my employer notice that I am leaving, but don't want to risk being without a job if I give notice too soon. I am really not worried that…
So I applied for a lateral promotion within my company. I did all the interviews and I got two follow up calls asking me if I’m still interested & will I need equipment. The recruiter said that he is waiting from feedback from one person. Now I want this promotion but I feel like…
The Best Job When You're Grieving? I recently quit 2 jobs that I only held for 3 months each. The first job I quit because my mom died of Covid while I was working there, and the workload was INSANE. It was a Content Marketing position, but you were also expected to do project…
Interview tomorrow and while researching the establish company I realized they are hiring a new staff. Is this something I should be worried about and / or is it possible they furloughed during the pandemic and need to replace the ones who didn't return? Should I bring this up…
I've been at my company for 8 months & I don't feel like I'm adjusting - Any tips? I work as a design engineer with other Mechanical Engineers & Electricians. Of our team of 24, I am the only female. Overall our company has way more men than women. That's not really my problem -…
