What constitutes pregnancy discrimination? I recently found out I am pregnant. The reaction of my current (male) boss was "I thought you were done having kids" and shortly thereafter, I was slapped with an unfair performance review. Based on this review - which I disagree with…
Our entire department was asked for education details by HR. They ask us to provide name of university, name of degree and year received. We are a large department and most have been here for several years and background checks were performed (or we thought) at the time of hire.…
I understand it's a difficult job market but I finally had an interview with a company where I held the exact role, in that industry and division. I thought this was finally going to be it after almost a year of searching. Yesterday, I received a generic computer-generated email…
I have an interview today but I'm concerned about the legitimacy of the interviewer. It's a first round and while the position would report to the CEO, the first meeting is with someone who says is the SEO of the company but in actuality is a VP. His LInkedIn profile shows he's…

Laid off back in February 2024 and haven’t been able to find a new job. How do I address this on my resume without looking unhireable? In the early months following my layoff I was honest on my resume about when the job ended but as the months progressed and I was still…
Considering leaving for a lower stress but lower paying job I've been with my org for a few years. I've liked it overall, but I feel like I'm in a sort of thankless role with little recognition and opportunity to grow. I support a client that likes me a lot but it's a difficult…
