What would you choose? Job 1: stay at legacy enterprise software giant in marketing director IC role with terrible boss but high base salary and remote? Lots of process, things move slowly, no mobility. Good work life balance, bad for mental health and feeling fulfilled at work. Been there 2 years. Job 2: join cloud native Saas company, similar role senior IC in marketing, much smaller team and number of employees, lower base salary but much higher equity, stock doing well? Boss seems nicer
Hey I'm looking for some advice. I feel completely trapped at my current job. I am honestly so miserable going to work every day and don't think I can sustain whats being expected of me. I feel like I don't even have the energy to job search because my job is so draining AND on top of that the job market sucks so much right now idk if its even worth it. Does anyone have any advice?
I got dinged on my latest review for not participating enough in the team channels, and I feel like I’m back in middle school. Apparently, shipping clean, bug-free code ahead of schedule takes a backseat to not dropping enough memes in the #random channel. My manager literally told me that social presence is a core metric for our remote culture this year. Is this normal? I’m so grumpy about it.
Our CIO is pushing us to learn a programming language that no one has heard of. He used it in his old job. One looked into it and found that no company or government agency in my state used it. It doesn't appear in TIOBE Index. It doesn't appear in Stack Overflow's to programming language. My colleagues and I see this as a huge career limitation. What can we do about this?
Does anyone else find it difficult to get another job while you are currently employed? Most people say that it's easier to get a job while you have a job, but that has never been the case for me. What normally happens is I go to an interview with the knowledge that I can mess up the interview and perform poorly. Sometimes I ask questions that I know are going to make the interviewer uncomfortable. This is probably both good and bad. Most jobs I have landed happened when I was unemployed.
Lol hard to feel bad for the guy, he had it coming right? He's got loads of money so I'm sure he'll bounce back once the desk settles. Wonder what's going to happen to the HR director now
I kind of saw that coming. It's a huge story. I feel bad for the spouses, who are the victims and all of this. And I'm kind of surprised that the head of HR didn't resign, since that's like, her entire job… To enforce the rules that she very publicly broke.
Do we know that they have rules against dating internally? Infidelity isn’t a rule that a company would have. What could easily be in place is a rule about dating within your reporting chain of command. While she’s breaking it, it could be positioned as a power dynamic that she couldn’t refuse. Who knows what the real story is, but having a relationship with the boss is a well-known trope for a reason.
Accountability is a wonderful thing
He'll be posting on here soon!
Karma ...
If they would have acted normal this probably wouldn't be news.
Thoughts and prayers. I'm sure he'll be just fine.
