In this competitive market, is it better to use a friend's address in the location you want to work or be honest? I feel that my resumes aren't even reaching hiring managers or I'm immediately excluded as I'm in upstate NY and applying for roles in NYC. Back story, I worked in…

I just had an interview for a position that I really want. There were 2 interviewers. One of them was on her phone for 10-15 mins messaging. She kept notes, but looked kind of bored. Any thoughts on this?

How and when women are promoted I've witnessed this in the workplace, and have been subjected to this practice myself, over the last 25 years: Women are hired into lower-level roles and told they need to grow or spend time in the low-level role before they can move up, while a…

The company that just fired me wants more work I was working at a small web development agency for 2.5 years. I brought a lot to the company, culture and experience wise. I was the only woman in the company of 8. My clients loved me and I them. There were company-wide agreements…

Am I expecting too much? I've been working for a start up for about 3 years - hired as a Director of Enterprise Sales- and I am basically the only full time sales person. I have closed some significant deals and have also been instrumental in managing the sales process, building…

Okay things at work have taken a turn and not for the better...I am looking to move into private sector work. I am a former high school teacher coach and administrator. I currently work for my state in public education management. Anyone out there had any luck moving into private…

I'm in a dilemma. I'm in an IC leadership position on a UX team where I'm responsible for the work output. My team has a people leader who we all report to. My team is very small and the expectations on us all are very high to the point of unreasonable. A few of my team are…

I was laid off today. It came as a surprise as everything was going smooth. My manager and HR head scheduled a video call and asked me to put up a resignation as they couldn’t show that due to organisational restructuring they are insisting me to resign. They offered 60 day…

I would work the 60 days and not mention you are starting a new business. They may use this to say you are leaving to start your own business. Then you may not be able to collect unemployment.

I have been on the search for around 4 months now and it seems positively hopeless. I recently lost a teaching job because we couldn't afford the move. This terrible feeling...

Do I have any options for FMLA or short term disability? I’ve been under an enormous amount of stress and pressure at work. I’ve been doing the job of 3 people for the past 2 months while my company is looking to backfill 2 open positions. One position would be my direct manager.…

How do you warn candidates of a toxic work environment? I have a handful of interviews tomorrow and I myself am looking to leave. How do you warn potential candidates that this is not the best place to find a career. How toxic and phony their to be bosses are. I wish there was a…

When is a good time to tell Supervisor I am looking for new employment? I've been with my Employer for 10 years, and my current supervisor coming up on a year. I enjoy my supervisor but I am burnt out with the Company and Semantics. I've been looking for new employment and while…

It's been a few weeks... I interviewed for a Director of Finance position about three weeks ago. During my second-round interview, they informed me I was among the few candidates to move forward. The Executive Director (the hiring manager) and the Senior Director mentioned that…

My boss told me he would fire me if I joined the Union. I'm a tech worker in California and I work for a healthcare system. Many times, we have health workers who strike, for several reasons that are important to them. To be clear, I can't join the Nurses Union because I'm in IT,…

Is any work from home jobs available

Asking for a promotion or a demotion Over the last year, I've had an increasing number of duties foisted on me that are not in my pay grade. Basically, I'm a level B worker, let's say, and I've been expected to take on tasks that level A workers handle-- mostly, lots of budget…

Unmet expections, not fair. The hospital where I work was going on strike by the end of 2023, but this was avoided due to an excellent agreement between the facility and the Union. The unionized staff finally received the long, extended, overdue fair compensation and significant…

During a job search, the kindness of contacts and new connections makes a difference. Don't discount your contributions. Forwarding a resume, providing a referral or allowing family and friends to vent their frustrations makes the search more tolerable. While trying to remain…

Terminated - Unable to make enough necessary changes over a 30-day period They fired a bunch of people last year. I had to take on some of their responsibilities and wasn't compensated for the extra work. Volume picked up and still there was only me to do it. Only child. Always…
