I did perfectly fine on my first phone interview but I feel like my second interview didn’t go well. She said she would be interviewing more people and will get into contact with me later in the week. At the beginning of the interview she asked me what my reasoning for being three minutes late was but I was having computer difficulties. I feel like I miss answered some of the questions she asked me and I feel like I do better in in person interviews. Am I just overthinking it? Edit more detail on to what happened I feel like the first interview went amazing the day before on the phone but unfortunately that person was a recruiter not the hiring manager. But as soon as I logged on my zoom the hiring manager said hello and I said hello back with a smile but then she immediately asked…

Just about two years ago I reported employees (who happened to be the CEOs son and his son's friends) to HR for inappropriate and unacceptable conduct while working. After the investigation ceased, the CEOs sons and friends all started to treat me different. I later found out that the CEO went through the HR files of complaints and found out it was me. Are there any Us federal laws against these types of actions?

I just finished my first year as an accountant. End of year review just came up and to know what to expect, I asked some of my coworkers what I should prepare for. I asked what salary and bonus increase to expect, just to get some footing. My coworkers explained to me that my bonus would be 7k so I was very pleased. I just finished busting my ass for 5 months during busy season so it seemed like a reasonable number. Cut to the meeting with my boss, and she lets me know that actual bonus was 3k. I acted pleased in the meeting, but I was extremely upset. I know I wouldn’t do that to my new coworkers, so I was caught way off guard. What a weird thing to joke about? After the meeting, the coworkers that lied to me walked up to me laughing like it…

What’s going on guys? I am a 24 year old male From Maryland USA, coming on here for some genuine help and advice. I hate working that’s obvious what’s not so obvious is how my days are quite literally passing by me as the hours that I work are so much that I get little or basically no free time whatsoever, I didn’t go to college or university I know that doesn’t mean much but to get my point across I got into the blue collar life, now consumed all day and every day with my blue-collar job. I’m sick of it and I’m done, I work for a company that does “on calls” meaning that if you’re on call you are working a Saturday and a SUNDAY, so I’m done!!! I would like you guys to help me out or give me some advice, or some sort of guidance,…

It's often said that people quit bosses, not jobs. A bad boss can make a good job miserable and a bad job unbearable. Unfortunately, I find myself in the unfortunate position of having one of the worst bosses in my entire career at my current workplace, and I simply cannot stay silent about it any longer. Here are the reasons why this boss has driven me to the point of frustration and led me to make the difficult decision to leave: False Promises: What was said during the interview process turned out to be nothing more than empty fluff. The boss made grand promises about the work environment and support that would be provided, but it quickly became evident that those were just words. Lack of Respect: During my notice period at my previous job, this boss had the audacity to ask me to start working for the new place…

I interviewed for a position and the caseload is 90 for a full time therapy job with high risk clients with a high rate of active suicidal wishes and violence. A therapist should not be seeing more than 25-30 clients per week at the very maximum. And for high risk clients they should be seen at least once per week. ​ Therapists are burning out – and the licensure requirements, training after a graduate degree and endless post graduate certifications we are required to have are murdering our field. It costs at least 30K to get a graduate degree now (additional to what ever you paid for undergrad), and forgiveness is non existent. Every time you near enough experience to go solo practitioner – they move the goal post for providing services and increase documentation, cost and training needed. And you can't get a teaching job in therapy anymore without…

I have been working in a product development org for past 16 years. I got promoted a few months back through an internal role. A few weeks later I received an offer from a competitor offering a fully remote role in a different area that I aspire to work in. I applied and finally received a very competitive offer from them and decided to accept it. When i went in to turn in my resignation, my boss flew into a rage when I mentioned I would like to leave. He cannot believe I am looking outside when I just received a promotion. What's with people these days ,flying off the handle when someone wants to progress?
