Has this ever happened to you? I received a verbal offer for a great position a few weeks ago. The position would have paid more and was closer to home. Unfortunately it was placed on hold. I'm so bummed since currently I have a long drive and I'm not where I want to be career…

I started a new position in November 2023. I was told I would have support and resources and I’ve come to learn that the information I was told when I was hired was not actually in-place. I took over a $2billion dollar portfolio and my predecessor was fired. I was left with a…

Hi, is possible to get placement after retirement as Head of Payable process in shared services company

I have only been at my new job for 8 months after being laid off from an agency where I worked at for several years. Currently, at this new job, I am struggling making the decision to leave a very toxic work environment. The company culture is not at all what I was sold on in the…

I had an interview today for a job in a field where I'm doing a career pivot. The job is a junior accounting position, which I'm perfectly fine with. My issue is that once the interview was done, I started nit-picking every response I gave to the questions I was asked. I want to…

I am interviewing for two positions later this week. A little background. I have been at my current job for 21 years. They told me in February they would not renew my contract so I would be out of a job June 30 (totally blindsided). Been looking for positions ever since that. I…

I'm so tired of applying for jobs and hearing nothing back. (Context: I'm applying for public health jobs.) I've had literally one interview. One. Most of my applications are in the "In Review" waiting room. I'm just really frustrated right now,

I was just offered a position, and the salary was lower than expected. I have experience in this industry and would like to ask for $15K more. How do I ask for this? Also I have a planned trip at the end of next month and am trying to decide if I should start the beginning of…

Went to a virtual interview for a manager position that I was excited for. 1 - The hiring manager was 5-10 mins late. 2 - He keeps on yawning as if he is not interested with my resume. (Messy hair, not looking at me directly in the eyes) 3 - He keeps on asking about my current…

Hiring Dilemma I recently accepted a new role in a leadership position. As I'm building out my team, we are hiring for a new role at the people manager level. Unfortunately, recruiting is asleep at the wheel, reportedly unable to locate appropriate candidates in spite of the fact…

As I've reviewed many posts today, I'm seeing a lot of women are worried about leaving a job because of their emotional ties to others or trying to figure out how to answer if they are invited back as a temp employee or contractor. Even if they work in a toxic environment. Let me…

I have a situation that I’ve never experienced in all my years of working. I was pushed to hire a very young, inexperienced person and mentor them into the position. They do not take direction and make a lot of mistakes. Over the past months, this person has taken my work and…

Back in a corporate environment, need guidance. After years of working as an ADD-addled contractor, I am now working on staff at a firm with a lot of people and procedures, etc. Thankfully, it's still remote, but I'm having trouble dealing mostly with the barrage of communication…

Remote employee looking to pursue legal action with out-of-state employer -- do I use a local lawyer or a lawyer in the state the business is located in? I have several compensation issues that have not been resolved three months after being let go. I’m looking to pursue legal…

Negotiating start dates. Can I ask for a break between positions? I may be getting ahead of myself, but if I am offered the job I am currently interviewing for I would LOVE 2-4 weeks off before starting. …. Yes, I would love a minute to reset! Yes,it is summer and an opportunity…

I've been job hunting for a month now and still no luck. I work as a quality manager in tech and even though I think my credentials are good, it's really tough to get an interview. I tried networking but no luck either. All of my other colleagues are at least getting an interview…

WWYD? I dislike my job and have for quite some time so I’m actively looking. I’ve recently begun reporting to someone new as my previous manager found an opportunity outside the company. This is the 6th person I have reported to in almost 5 years. The newest person inherited us…

Advise for working as a contractor for previous employer I left a company a few months ago after finding a new position, due to being burned out and in a toxic work environment. I am so happy in my new role, so feel like I made a great decision. I did a full handover of all my…

Sometimes on a Friday I need a little extra motivation... Years ago, I learned about the "big three to-do list," and it's been one of the biggest game changers for me. Essentially, the big three to-do list is the idea that you have three things on your to-do list that are the…

As salaried employees should we really look at our emails when we’re on vacation? Aside from the fact that it’s supposed to be my time to recharge, I also indulge in edibles while on vacation (only when we’re somewhere it’s legal!). I don’t think that I should have to adjust my…
