Last week I asked for a raise to match inflation, I was told no. after making the request I immediately beat myself up because even that extra 5% wouldn’t put me at my worth… but that’s what came out of my mouth and I stood behind it. Leadership gathered to discuss my request and…

I recently got an opportunity where i would be setting up a Marketing team from scratch. I want to ask FGB community, preferable females in leadership position, how is it like to work at senior management level and what all we need to do succeed in the role, how much patience we…

Private vs Public? I used to work in a private sector, and recently I just started in a public sector. I don't know how I feel about it currently... My managers are not the greatest and I feel like a people get away with a lot there because they really can't get fired. What are…

Think about the best manager you have ever worked with. What was it that made them an excellent leader? What made them stand out from others? *Join us for more conversations on leadership in the FGB group Girl Boss Moves!*

Am I the only one that dreads recorded meetings? I understand that a key team member is unavailable, but can't minutes or a de-brief be appropriate?

How do you make your hiring process more inclusive? I've seen many companies commit to diversity and inclusion when it comes to who they hire, but I'm wondering if and how they're adapting their hiring process. How does your company — or how have you seen companies — make their…

Hi FGBs. I've been in my current position for six years. I've been promoted, and have received nothing but stellar reviews. I've worked for the last five on the same high-profile project, which has been extremely important to my employer. One of my superiors on that project has a…

Have you had the experience of putting a lot of time and effort into an underperforming employee who ended up a mess anyway? I just spent 9 months with someone who eventually did improve but was still lacking consistency and started to slide again. She said she had too much work…

Have a question. I got a job offer at a place that seemed ideal until I attempted to fill out HR forms on an electronic forum, and when I went to email the contact listed, I got a message saying no address exists. And I've reached out twice to my contact person and no response.…

Explaining why you left I worked at a job for 8 months and ended up leaving due to being humiliated and bullied. It started out great, but my young coworker (36, I'm 57) started being snappy at me and frankly bullied me. Of course this happened when no one else could hear. Around…

Struggling. Started a new job, and don't like it. Keep getting other offers, and feel bad as nothing is exciting to me anymore. What is the point of changing roles if the grass does not look greener? Did anyone feel this way? What did you do? I understand that many people are…

I could use some advice! I left my last position in December 2021 after a recruiter reached out to me for an opportunity. The original position was a Sales Operations leadership role. Throughout the interview process, it changed into Director of Strategy. The job description was…

Asking for friend what would you say are red flags in an interview. shared the green flags that were posted earlier this month she goes into her 2nd and 3rd round interviews tomorrow and Friday. Thanks in advance.

Career changers, how did you know you wanted to make a change? With the Great Resignation still ongoing and people shifting their careers all over, I'm curious to know what was the deciding factor for you? Drop it in the comments below!

Happy story Hi to all, Today I want to share my story about how I raised my hand with a lot of fear and with a tinny voice in my head saying I didn't have any chance. I've been working in my actual company for 5 months, I was very unhappy with the tasks and I really wanted to go…

I left my company pre-covid because I was, frankly, burnt out from working 60+ hours a week. They reached out in December and convinced me to return but in a different capacity. I was made several promises if I returned and, to date, not one of them have been fulfilled. To be…

Be specific! BE BE Specific! I recently attended a meeting where to managers were very vague in what the task for the day was. The meeting went something like this. Manager: Ok, everyone get the list of task that need done, right? So lets make sure we get it all done. Oh yea, and…

I recently made a career change from leasing to recruitment. During my search, I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to interview for a few positions and have had several offers. The problem is that I have been receiving offers at 45k (associate role) below market…

Hi, Just wondering what people think about working at an organization where there doesn't seem to be an HR go to person? The first phone interviewer from said company stated that there is no HR and I was kinda hoping she was exaggerating, however, today, after I went to upload…

Shadowed for a job- how long do I wait? I interviewed for a job and they asked me at the end if I could come in and shadow. I went in last Wednesday and I felt it went great. They were wonderful to me. Before I left, they told me that they had a couple other people to interview…
