I can't decide!!! I recently accepted a job offer for my dream job at a great company (ABC) with a big bump in salary. Background — When I started at my current company (XYZ - also a great company) 9 years ago, I was in PR. I worked in PR for 20 years prior to joining XYZ and…
How to negotiate to what I want, and when to walk? So I have an offer for a job that I'm really excited about. It combines my Engineering Energy efficiency knowledge and I'll learn more about Building design (I've reviewed plans before but never actually done the design). Little…
I quit a horrible job at a company that I love and was at for approx 5 years. I know I wasn’t getting paid enough or valued with that current manager. a different team there just posted a job I would love and my current role is miserable (been here for 4 months) what should I do?…
Struggling with what's next. Several months ago I lost a job I love, but there was toxic management so I'm probably better off. Still, it's painful to think about. Recently got a new job with part time hours and fantastic benefits which is great for my family, but I'm finding I'm…
Got asked to an interview on Upwork... I am out of the US until next week, but have been looking for work on Upwork - and I got a hard nibble. The hiring manager asked me to use an app called Telegram, but I'm using a foreign phone service, unable to receive text messages to…
I share a space with a co-worker who has some challenging stress coping mechanisms. I share space with her, but I try to go to other co-workers with any questions I may have if given the opportunity. There are times when asking a work-related question about a situation I haven't…
I've decided enough is enough. I have an opportunity to make a lateral or slightly lower move to a sister facility and leave my toxic supervisor. I need to give him notice and I'm certain he'll want to know why I'm leaving. He will know it's not a promotion. What have others done…
Is it a good idea to accept a job at a small " mom and pop " business which does not have an HR representative or dept? The CEO is the HR guy, I guess, and they wouldn't allow me to ask what happened to their HR person who is still on emails but no longer working there. They…
I really dislike my current job. The company culture is very toxic but I didnt show up immediately. Though it’s two people on my team I do the majority of the tasks. Ranging from lack of urgency to down poor business practices (even going against the law which our legal team…
I am interviewing for a position I really want, the catch is the pay is much less. I currently make close to 60k and for the first year in this new position I would be hourly but I would get back to my current salary after a year. I’m still interviewing, they could decline to…
How do you choose between job offers? Today I received job offers from not one, but two companies. Company A is a company I have worked for before. I asked my former manager to recommend me as I wanted to posaibly go back and he did really great in speking to all the decision…
I'm trying to get a new job and my skills are very much in demand. I've made it through several rounds of interviews with two companies and got good feedback. Even if neither of these work out, I think another will soon, and the company will be very glad to have me. I want to ask…
I was hired for a Strategic Performance role with no prior experience in January. Upon hire, the boss that hired me found another job and left the company, so I am steering a ship with no guidance. I have an opportunity to transfer within 6 months to a different part of the…
This goes out to those that have experience in HR - i.e., interviewing candidates. For the last 40 years, I have worked as an administrative assistant/secretary. I have been working for the same organization for almost 20 years. I am approximately 10 years away from retirement.…
I recently joined a new company, today was actually my first day and just found that they don't provide a computer..... This is the first time ever that my employer doesn't provide a computer. I'm honestly really mad that this did not come up on the interview process. Has anyone…
I graduated in 2020 with a biology bachelors degree and didn’t do internships in college, so I was unprepared for a job. Last summer, I accepted a full-time job offer, mostly because 1) it was the first FT offer I’d *ever* gotten and TBH months of fruitless indiscriminate…
I think I'm burned out? I started my demanding and challenging position in August 2020. The company is a small country club. That being said starting this role I thought I was going in for a specific position but now a year and a half later I've learned that this job wears…
Do You Think.. 8 months is enough time to figure out if a job is not a good fit? I took a position 8 months ago in a role that when I sent my resume for, didn't think I was qualified. But I still did it, and was hired due to my highly administrative background. When I got to my…
struggling at new job. My new job is entirely remote. I am struggling sinking my teeth in to anything. I have very little to do throughout the day. I have just been there 3 months. I am looking at new jobs and have interviews. Seriously I just want to quit I am so distraught.
