I have a potential job offer (pending references) but I will be required to be in the office 5 days per week from 9am - 6pm. I haven't worked those hours in 7 years! I'm terrified to go back - not because of corona but because of work/life balance and I have a dog with attachment…

In my check in with my boss today I learned that an Executive Director from another department (technically he and I are in equal level positions) in our organization told him that I'm not being responsive to his needs. Nothing could be further from the truth. This ED is new and…

Lately, I have read posts from others who gave two weeks notice without having a job in the waiting. I have been fully supportive of those women because I am in a similar situation that I feel is truly abusive. My pragmatic side keeps telling me to "stick it out" until my…

Another name for feedback and career goals Every 1st and 3rd week, my boss will provide me feedback. Every 2nd and 4th week we’ll talk about my career goals and how my projects align with them and where I want to grow in. He asked me to send him calendar invite and make it…

AITA? My frustration with my job is at an all time high. My company, every few years lands on an idea that they all get super excited about, stop everything to make it work and then abandon it when it gets too hard. We are in one of those "new and shiny" cycles right now. As…
