Cynical or Tired? I hesitate to wear my employer's logo gear. This is what our gifts of appreciation consist of, jackets mostly. I would like to be proud of my job and it actually is not a horrible place but it is corporate and pretends it's spiritual and all about being not for…

Final round for company and found out it doesn't offer medical or 401K. While 401K can be set aside on my own, I'm concerned that it doesn't offer medical. Has anyone else faced this situation and if offered the role, any advice regarding paying for a basic plan? I'm fortunate…

Is this just the way of the world now? Last three jobs, ever since the pandemic, I've had managers who are just radio silent. There's been a complete refusal to answer questions or give feedback either in person, over the phone, Teams, or email. It feels like I am living in some…

Interviewing for a job that's $20K less than my previous position but I'd have the opportunity to work from home. In other circumstances I would negotiate but if offered the job, I've been out of the market for a few months so I think it's more important about securing a…

Perform well but manager doesn't like me I've been at this job for 2 years and I still feel like an outsider. This company has a history of biases and negative culture. Last year during my weekly status meeting, a developer yelled at me and called me dismissive ( he has done this…

I had an initial HR interview before Christmas. If selected to move forward there are multiple rounds and I'm in later stages with other companies. During the interview, we discussed salary. Is that a good sign as it's significantly higher than the other companies and wouldn't…

My job review was good on paper but I was berated by the manager who delivered it, saying more than one unkind thing about me, and also handing me more responsibilities for the future. While this was surprising, I am aware of other lies and exaggerations, so I did not take the…
