Coworker Undermining Me So, I have good news! I found a better job and put in my two weeks notice. But here is the bad news. I have two weeks left and everyone is asking me why I am leaving, including my boss's boss. I left because my immediate boss allowed me to be undermined by…

I've resigned and my boss won't give me an end date I run a team that runs a whole function of the business at a small-ish company. I have been having issues seeing eye-to-eye with the CEO of our parent company for a few months now on the direction to take the business. On April…

I came across a mandatory field in a job application and I'd like to hear some perspective -- it's possible that I am mis-interpreting the employer's intention. I am over 50, reside in California, currently unemployed and in search of opportunities. I found a posting for a…

Hello all, I've been struggling as woman over 50 in the tech industry (I'm a UX visual designer primarily designing apps, software and websites). I am here for advice, support, work (!) and networking. I love my work but am getting zero offers and few interviews. Most teams seem…

I’ve created a bit of a predicament for myself and wondered if anyone had any suggestions: I’m 30 weeks pregnant and haven’t told my employer due to being in consulting and switching accounts with a time on the bench between. The interview went so quickly and I didn’t want to…

How long should you stay at a job if you aren't being promoted? I’ve been at my job for 14 years and was only promoted once despite proving myself time and time again. Excellent performance reviews and yearly bonuses. Is it way past time for me to go? I think so. Curious to know…

Hi team, I am currently working full time already. But I am looking to take up a second job. Preferably a remote casual job that involves data entry or administrative work. I have been applying at multiple places but have been unsuccessful. Do you have any tips with how to…

Quick Question.. So we have a newer HR Manager here at our office, she has been here about 6 months, and some of my job is stuff that is HR related that was given to me prior to her coming on board. I have been thinking of leaving this company-I don't feel like I am doing the…

Do you work in a "third space"? It's not your home, and it's not the office — it's a "third space" like a coffee shop, coworking space or even a friend's house where you go to get work done. I do this every once in a while and feel like it really makes a difference to be in a new…

Hello ladies, This is my first post in this forum. I took a maternity break in Feb 2020 and now I'm ready to get back into full time job. I'm actively looking for job opportunities. I have been volunteering with a non profit since Dec 2020. My question is should I reveal in the…

I interviewed last Thursday and it went really great. They need someone ASAP and I was the only candidate left in the running. He told me he’d reach out early this week but it’s Thursday and still no word. I have other companies reaching out but I really want this job so I’ve…

Hi everyone, I have been working at my current company for two years, having started remotely due to the pandemic. I sort of struggled a bit with the remote start, finding it more difficult to get accustomed to the work but things improved over time. However, my end of year…

I'm interviewing for a role that could be interesting, but I've read stories online about the CEO that concern me, and as an internal communicator, could directly impact me. A lot of people have left the company. While part of my job is culture, I just came from a bad situation…

Hello All, I am currently interviewing for fully remote roles. How do you answer the question of whether or not you are vaccinated during the process? I had an exemption with my previous employer. Any advice on how you've handled this question?

Not sure if it's just me... It seemed like one thing the pandemic taught us was that you shouldn't go to work sick and for awhile, companies (at least mine) seemed to have no issues with needing to take sick time (COVID-related or not). Feels like over the course of this year,…

Curious how other companies handle mileage reimbursement. I have worked for almost 15 years as a specifically remote employee - I don't even have a mail slot at the main office. I was hired as a remote full-time (and now exempt salaried) consultant with a company phone in my home…

Should I or Shouldn't I? As of this morning I was advised I will be moved from my Change Management position to a Quality Assurance position within the Anti Money Laundering (I have no experience in AML) area of my employer which was quite a shock. To add to this I was told the…

I went from managing a direct report to absorbing all of her responsibilities when she left. I'm glad to be a team player but I was already stretched thin and now it seems I'm taking on permanently all of her workload. I've talked to HR, my manager but it's falling on deaf ears.…

When my co-worker left, I got promoted and absorbed their responsibilities in planning all the events we host and attend, but I loathe this event management work. I hate the nit-picky details of event planning, and event management was never part of my career trajectory. I've…
