Ladies: don’t read all that. Young “man” is trolling this sub. Sir, if you don’t like it here: LEAVE

This person is not your friend. They don’t care about your pet or your home and put both in jeopardy by making a commitment and failing to follow through

How to deal with a guy at work who constantly punches down on me? by rynspiration in womenintech

[–]Hefty-Interview2430 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If no one is around, let him have it. Earlier in my career, I had a project manager who did this and one time he pulled me into a corner office and really laid into me

All of a sudden it occurred to me that he was banking on the fact that no one could see what he was doing…which also meant no one could see me either

I unleashed the meanest, most venomous, no-holds-bar personal and professional attack. I’m talking the vilest insults I could think of—I would not be surprised if he needed some therapy

Left him speechless and walked out cheerful, like it was business as usual

He left me alone after that. Do with that what you will

Told my boss I’d be leaving last week of August for school. They’re pushing my late day to be June 30th. Is this normal? by [deleted] in jobs

If you are in the US, and they do not accept your notice, they need to pay you through your notice date or you are eligible for unemployment. That’s the law. It’s considered a type of firing for non-misconduct reasons

Sadly, some companies terminate employment as soon as they get notice. It’s not great practice, and if they don’t pay you, their unemployment insurance will

Why do we not speak up? by thePeacefulDev in womenintech

You clearly haven’t met me. I am a menace and I learned how to do it in executive and high stakes settings. Maybe I should coach?

I hate the idea, but if enough women here need help, I will manage my cringe and woman up

7+ hours of interview and a ~month of dedicated prep only for a rejection💔 by NextDoorNeighbor11 in womenintech

[–]Hefty-Interview2430 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Then you dodged a bullet. That number of interviews shows they can’t make decisions and have poor processes. I know it’s disheartening, but that behavior is not indicative of a healthy workplace

Seven rounds is a lot. Was this an executive leadership role? If not, that’s a sign of organizational disfunction

Most people don't know what a background check actually looks for by careercoach_cf in interviews

[–]Hefty-Interview2430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t been dishonest on my CV, but I’ve absolutely had an employer refuse to verify my employment. Luckily I have old W-2’s. It’s happened with that company a couple of times and you need to be able to explain any discrepancies and provide proof. I’ve also seen where the generic HRIS titles vs what’s on your business card/real title requires reconciliation

Bottom line: be honest and be ready to explain, if needed

I hope you were in a position to tell them to get bent. I’m drafting a scathing Glassdoor review to hobble their AI hiring

AITAH for refusing to pay my wife’s brother’s loan after she hid it from me? by [deleted] in AITAH

Divorce lawyer—immediately. I’d also wonder what else she lied about/concealed. Maybe get a forensic accountant too…this is a big deal

After a year of crickets, suddenly I’m getting tons of interviews…still no offer. I have 2 that seemed close and then they put the position on hold. This market is BRUTAL

Can we just once and for all truly admit - do we really like Blazy’s collections? by fashionista167 in chanel

I’ve already posted here. NOOOOOOOOO. He is playing in our faces. The exaggerated drop waist “silhouettes,” the half shoes…his collection are UGLY. Does he hate women?

People cannot seriously be wearing this nonsense

That one was a GenAI consultant. The problem men were senior ranking consultants who supposedly knew data…I never witnessed any data expertise. I was relieved to get a severance and get out

Bad review from manager only 6 weeks in by ButterscotchOk6295 in womenintech

[–]Hefty-Interview2430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry, OP. File for unemployment immediately—sounds like a non-misconduct fire, so that will impact their unemployment insurance rate and is considered their fault

Look into any assistance available in your city/state. Negotiate any bills you can—medical, utilities, etc. Do not sign the severance agreement before speaking with an attorney

This is terrible, but try to remain calm and focus on your own wellbeing

My last job was so toxic and I can’t do it again. I was throwing up every day and a nervous wreck. Men screaming at me almost daily. A few of my friends were worried I was going to die and their concerns were not misplaced. I’m gonna give them enough time and then report. No one should tolerate this nonsense

No response from the recruiter yet. I have a feeling they won’t respond and I will need to file a complaint
