When you fill out the salary expectations on a job application and want to be “open” on the salary, what number do you enter? I have to enter a number and don’t want to not be selected based on that number, especially as so many other factors come into play, it’s not always about…

I commenced interviewing for a role in January and have reached a second committee round that takes place this week. In the meantime, I've interviewed 5 times with another company and received a final interview request. The prior role is a higher level, salary and one that I…

I asked my boss a promotion, but I set myself up before the ask by summarizing my accomplishments the last 7 years, what I have done differently the past year to show career growth and what I can potentially do. However, bec. of company culture of difficulty to create a career…

What has been the average time spent securing a new job in Learning and Development (since September 2024))

HELP! Inherited a difficult employee. I tolerated her throwing her hand up and saying I'm stressing her out at the beginning because no one likes to change. Morale in her department is in the dumps. I'm just over 7 months at this company and we've had 2 of the 4 employees under…

I’m getting frustrated with job search and almost losing hope. I have interviewed a few times, the hiring managers say how impressed they are and some have said they’ll move me forward to the next step. Then silence…after several follow ups, they say they moved on with another…

Boss wavers on how we should handle requests from clients. In one breath she wants to "control" and wants us to ask her before responding to a client..... then in other cases, if I tell her how I will respond to a client she will say "Why wouldnt you respond that way?..... I want…

Good day everyone. I have a question for people who hold positions in recruiting; however, I am open to hearing from anyone on this topic. Question: in today's job market, there are many people who are unemployed and have been for over 3 months; many very qualified people I might…

Need some input on a big decision that I need to make. I’ve been at the same smallish company for 15 plus years. In the past few years, management has changed, the CEO hired his wife to manage the team, and the environment has become quite toxic. This year the company took some…

Stay or go? The company is staying afloat financially barely. Morale is down. Manager is the definition of toxic positivity and loses her temper every few weeks. There are no career growth opportunities. Lateral moves seem unheard of. Is it worth leaving without another job? The…

Ethnic minorities do wirk quite hard actually, and I think they are getting underestimated at times. The statue of a slave owner was on the grounds of the first. I didn't think too much into it.

They don't question enough or critical assess where the information is coming from. It's lazy.

It is like 12 years that they are doing this. I was grad school, when my undergraduate boss had started to this. And after that my grad supervisors were doing this. It is work done, that's why money is coming to it. It's a professional contract. Just misusing a psychological…
