I have been working for my current employer for almost two years. A few months after I started, Covid-19 hit and as an online school, we grew about 700% in a year. We worked hard, very hard. There was no bonus, even though money was streaming in. After I'd worked a year, I…

I had very rewarding 25 yr career as a team lead in oil and gas industry. Have had teams of up to 12 staff on some projects and always treated them with respect and included their ideas and expertise as a team. Flash forward to November 2015, my boss who barely spoke to me in two…

Starting a new job on Monday. Finally! After 5 months of not working. I'm excited it'll be a good place to work, good people (from what I could tell), and a stable career move. I am nervous that I can't fully do the job. I know imposter syndrome is real, so any advice? Sunday…

I recently filled out a self evaluation for a law firm that I began working at. I was hired mid-fiscal year while pregnant, and I am currently taking parental leave. I do not believe I will make my minimum required billable hours by the end of the fiscal year. One question of the…

I’ve recently went back to an employer. Sounds like the ultimate “don’t” but I did so in order to get back into my beloved bridal industry, kind of like a stepping stone. However, two months into the job I now realize the role is not exactly what the business owner and I…

I am currently an individual contributor making 117k. We are going through a reorganization and I’ve been put up for a promotion where I will be a people manager with 2 direct reports. They offered me 129k for the position and I said I’d think about it. Is that enough of a raise…

Why would a company run an ad for 2 years to have people work for them and then treat their employees like garbage?

If you're not impressed with the hiring manager during an interview, what does that say? I had a call with an executive who is also the hiring manager. This was after several other calls with other individuals on a director level. (Looks like they were the screeners?) The hiring…

Diverting away from a company's dirty deeds... So, I was interviewing with this company on the fly. They reached out to me on LinkedIn and I spoke with them over my lunch break with very little prior research (I just did a cursory check to see if they were a legit company).…

Where do you find general career or even industry-specific inspiration? Which content makers, and what kinds of content spark you?

Job candidate auto responders are a branding opportunity! Today a dream is coming true. I'm getting to write the auto-responders for our job applicants. While it’s usually seen as an HR thing, I’ve always believed that this is a brand opportunity. Every touchpoint every person…
