Entering a final interview next week and HR requested references. I'm not sure what to do as my last companies had leadership issues. My supervisor passed away unexpectedly in my last role and for the remaining months, I didn't have a leader. Prior job, the VP I reported to left…

I work in a very male dominated business and my boss who I work for is an engineer and he’s a very smart. Sometimes he gives me things that are above my pay grade because I think he thinks everybody has an IQ of 170 and is an engineer and I am clearly not that. He has been out of…

Feeling stuck I worked so hard to get ahead in my career. I’ve been in my field for almost 20 years and have slowly moved up. My most recent move required a masters degree, which I obtained a little over 2 years ago. I’ve been in my current position for about 6 months. And I HATE…

Coworker keeps picking on me? I just started my new remote job a couple of months ago, and I am shadowing a guy that has been with the company for 2 years. Overall, he’s nice and laidback, but so far on 2 different occasions with a third party, he will say random, made up things…
