How can I start looking for a new job when all my coworkers and boss closely follow my social media updates? I'm not being treated fairly at my new job. I want out as soon as possible and have a huge following on social media I wish I could use to my advantage, but sadly I can't.…
I felt led on by an employer. We had a phone and zoom interview that I felt went really well, but was told it would be a few weeks before there is an update. Come to find out when I called after this timeline that they had already done in person interviews and were ready to make…
After giving two weeks' notice So, I gave my two weeks notice and have just over a week left. I have been doing my best to stay motivated but, I have a few things preventing me from wanting to do my best. One of my coworkers has made it obvious that when I leave, he wants to take…
Employers - stop advertising your fast-paced environment like it's a good thing. This seems to be code for "we want you to do the job of three or more people at our entry-level salary." If you need three different jobs done, hire three people.
Wouldn't it be great if you had the list of hiring manager interview questions prior to your interview? Unfortunately, since we don't have that option, I've created a short and general list below of a few questions to get you started. It's important to get comfortable responding…
So confused by this HR Manager rude behavior. I wouldn't keep trying if he didn't keep dangling the interview. Why does he keep reaching out if he's not going to commit? He keeps setting up days and then never confirming times. Should I just walk away? He's reached out three…
I felt zoom interview went well but they reposted the position a week later. I called the hiring manager and left a vm expressing im still interested. If he ever calls back should I acknowledge they reposted it or just focus on my qualifications? I was pretty disappointed and…
I am hugely unhappy at my current position. The reasons vary from poor training to favoritism and my lead openly flirting with my coworker. I have decided it is time to part ways with my employer. I am also concerned the next person hired could run into the same issues so my…
Your thoughts? I recently had my annual review. As with every review there are a lot dynamics…all said it went well, I received a raise. Still underpaid with my experience yes, but I digress….I was a couple of minutes early and offered to wait until the actual time, but was…
I quit my job after a month for what I thought was my dream job My dream job is a nightmare and I am leaving after 3 months there. Is it terrible to go back to previous employer and ask for a rehire?
Just got a PIP after trying to change teams. I won't get into details - except to say that most of it is distorted and/or old stuff that I was pretty sure we had resolved a while ago. So this blindsided me. Every article I've read says these are simply a bad manager's CYA before…
Why do I feel so guilty about leaving a job? I have been at my current company just over a year. I even received a promotion within my first year. They underpay and the culture isn’t great, but it’s alright? I guess? The main reason I feel guilty is because of my manager. She is…
The new GM has decided that our business needs a “party ambiance” so the last couple of weeks the music it’s at higher decibels levels. Customers and employees have been complaining but it seems that managers don’t want to make any decisions about it. The music is so loud that…
Does the anxiety of giving notice ever go away? I am about to give my notice tomorrow (usually I would give a full two weeks but my usually remote boss is coming to the site- I’ve already started proactively cataloguing my work and writing work procedures on things I expect my…
I was recently let go from my VP job because the company is in Chapter 11. I reached out to 4 recruiters. Spoke with them all, started the process. Now, they have all gone silent. No one will return a call. What is happening here? If they didn’t want to work with me, why would…
I started a new job 2 months ago and knew within a month it was a mistake. It was a career change for me, I was at another company over 15 years and was too comfortable. At this point I know I have to leave as there are indications that I will not 'make it." I am very stressed.I…
Leaving a job after a very short amount of time… I got headhunted for a job for 25% increase from my previous role. I wasn’t in a rush to leave my last post because my boss was nice and the job was good and I was decent at it. I told them that I really needed flexibility due to…
I was laid off from my technical job in early February. I knew it was coming because for 6 months all they gave me was administrative work. I tried very hard to develop possible projects we could pursue during that 6 months but they wouldn't bite. As such, my self-confidence…
