The short version - working in a large global company, I had a female manager who always treated me differently from my peers - many of which she is close & personal friend with. They had ben trying to remove me from the team so when she left the company she wrote me a really…

Hi! First post here! I was pushed out of a prior position due after 10 years despite being capable due to management bullying. I took a lower paying position at a different company but the bullying started immediately. I feel that I am being blacklisted in my industry despite…

I’m hoping someone can help me with my current work dilemma. I like many people, I was laid off when my company went bankrupt during the pandemic. I used the opportunity to build a small business in a field I’m passionate about. It’s slowly growing but I’m not earning enough to…

Does anyone have suggestions for documenting investigation notes after investigation interviews with witnesses or complainants. I have several pages of notes after interviews but want to recap interviews in a thoughtful fact driven manner vs dictation. Any suggestions?

Good morning to all. Two questions: 1. I’m in a DEI position that has never existed in my company. Im having to build the program with little guidance. 2. I work with a group of volunteers that need clear role definitions and boundaries. Some of them are highly critical, mean and…

I accepted a new job with a start date of Oct 25th. Originally, I budgeted in several days for the background check to be completed, which would still give me two weeks between jobs. Now, a week and a half later, my background check is still not finished! I submitted all of the…

I've been interviewing for a new job for the past few months. I get nervous when asked, "why do you want to leave your current company?" All the research I've done, it says it's best to just say, "for better opportunities etc". I hate that it's so generic. I've also tried, "I'm…

Hi all! Has anyone ever been in a situation where they've received multiple job offers, but realized they might have chosen the wrong one? A while back, I was offered two amazing roles, but decided to move forward with one that was at my dream company, would look great on my…

I have a question. You know how big businesses will overpay in order to retain an employee? That way you won’t be able to find a better paying job if you leave? Well I have a situation where I was given the title of Management Accountant at my soon to be former job. And on…

In June I got this wonderful new job. It is perfect, great benefits, wonderful co-workers, and a four day week. It is working at the front desk for a private practice. It is a great work environment and it feels like I've known everyone forever. It is almost like a family…

I need advice on how to describe my job departure. I left my job several months ago. It was an awful environment and I'm happy to not be there anymore. Anyway, it was less than an amicable situation. I have never been fired in my life - but I'd say that's basically what ended up…

Interdepartmental pay questions I just started a new job (less than 2 weeks ago) and today my boss told our team that she would be hiring a new position. The role is similar to mine in background, qualifications and skill level but with a few differences (i.e. digital vs field…

I am starting to think something is wrong with me. I have been in local government for 8 years, and I am trying to pivot out. I have not had any luck with job applications (no interviews). I have redone my resume a number of times to highlight my skills beyond my actual job…

Hello everybody, I'm facing a tough moment for me: evaluating another job after joining a new one. I started a new job 1.5 month ago in a society of one of the companies I've always wanted to work for. The organization is changing and lately (dunno when) we'll move into the main…

There was a situation at work last week that has now been resolved, but somehow it ended up reflecting badly only on me. I'm really discouraged and I feel like the people at the top of the (small) company cannot be trusted. Honestly, I feel embarrassed and like now I have to…
