Husband’s new manager is 4 days into her first week, and has already demeaned him infront of his whole team

My husband is a civil engineer and has been with his current company just over a year. He works in a small team, gets on well with everybody and keeps to himself. He was told a few weeks ago a new manager would be starting and he was to be assigned her buddy – so she had a port of call for help with new systems, getting set up etc. He works from home but he offered to go into the office on the days she is in for the first few weeks. She's on her 4th day into her first week, and he's already realised if there's gonna be a reason he'll leave, it's going to be her. Her first DAY, she joined a team meeting about the project he's on. He was talking about something on the project, and she cut him off and laughed saying 'wow no…

Having a hard time with jobs and absolutely hate working

I’ve had a problem with every job I’ve had to the point where I think maybe I’m the problem. I stopped complaining about work to people cause honestly I’ve had over 10 jobs and I’m starting to sound like a broken record but I swear it’s not me. One boss said I wasn’t worth the pay we agreed on 3 months in and cut my pay down by $2 so I left.

One boss literally yelled at clients and employees constantly and blamed me for things that happened before I was even…

[Rant] What’s the point of seeking counselling to improve my mental health, only for that to be the reason I get rejected from jobs?

I've been rejected from most emergency services jobs due to me disclosing that I undergo counselling, which was a result from my service from the Army. God forbid you see a professional therapist to help you get better mentally. You always hear people say “Don't be afraid to seek help”, only to reject you once you do. What's confusing for me is, it's okay to seek counselling once you're a part of the organisation, but if you show the slightest hint of mental health problems when you're applying,then you're a goner. I'm sorry for this pointless rant, I know others have it worse than I do. But I just get so frustrated, trying to get better mentally so I could perform in those jobs, only to be told I'm not suitable. If I try to hide it and not disclose it and I get caught lying later on, I'm still…

One of the most obnoxious aspects of working with a business is when their team spends months building a site but forgets one of the most crucial aspects – local SEO

Then the site languishes for years as the team gets mired in office politics or distractions. Meanwhile, the blog content needs to be updated to show up in local and regional search results. The sales team starves.
