I’m not sure if this is a call for advice or just to simply vent. I am 20 yr business leader that is being pushed out of my role (after less than a year) and this is the second time with two diff companies. I left a long time career at a company where I had much success…

I received an offer but then they said it’s above their budget to think more about the job in itself or the salary and they asked me if I was willing to keep the actual salary that I have right which’s not bad so I said yes because it’s the job of my dream I want it so bad. The…

Please help me understand something. So in January I was laid off from a job I had for 18 years. At that time they paid out my accrued PTO. So then a few months later they hired me back saying I had the same seniority and would earn the same PTO. Ok, so I was back for about 4…

How have you handled a boss besmirching your reputation once you resign? Due to a toxic environment I have resigned from my job and am down to the last week of my notice. My boss has been telling all kinds of lies (I was never engaged/passionate) about the reasons behind my…

I understand the concern when it comes to companies hiring convicted felons however what most companies do not understand is that a majority of the convicted felons that want to work...will work and give you more in a work day than a non felon. They know how hard it is to get the…

Looking to get back out there. I was laid off in July of 2019 as a Buyer for a large retail company. I was promoted several times, working my way up in the nearly 8 years I was there, always with great annual reviews. Out of nowhere, I was let go with the reasoning of “position…

I've been contacted by a recruiting firm about a job at a company I'm very interested in - both the job and the company. Someone who currently works at the company is a former co-workers and I'd love to reach out them to learn more about the company and the culture since there is…

My manager resigned a month ago, and I was hoping for a promotion from my employer. But, no, they posted a job listing instead. Ever since I have been feeling depressed, I even think about quitting the stinky job I've been loyal to all these years!

What do I do if I am offered a job but the company is still posting the job and still looking for a candidate? I applied to a job about 2 months ago. I went through 3 rounds of interviewing. Last week Thursday I received a call from the HR person but we were not able to speak.…

Going from perm to contract? Hi! I am currently in marketing wanting to break into UX, and am considering an entry-level 9-month contract UX role at a global tech company. Has anyone gone into contract role to switch industry? How did it work out?

A curveball interview question threw me. I thought I had heard them all until recently. Things were going pretty well until one of the interviewers (and I could picture myself working well with all of them) asked the following: "If you're hired for this position, what is…

To disclose or not to disclose? I started working for this company over 4 years ago. At the time my disability was under control so I never disclosed. Now, I’m experiencing some problems. I’m getting help but there’s no overnight fix. I disclosed to my immediate co workers, just…

I've had issues with one co-worker in particular, a textbook "Queen Bee." She's has held many vague titles in our organization but never been my manager. In my opinion, she's unorganized and unprofessional and it makes working with her very difficult. While I was working on a…

Just had an interview with a real Jerk. Made me feel inadequate and he was intimidating. He was more into showing off his knowledge base and I felt like he was playing a game of "gotcha". If his intention was to make me bad about myself, he succeeded.
