So this happened tonight: I sell companies. Today an interested buyer invited my client and I out to discuss our business for sale. The buyer is the President of his large company, my client is the CEO of his smaller company, and I am the investment banker who facilitates these discussions. In th

Company has been underpaying me and CEO makes comments that dont sit well with me, thinks I just "press buttons". This is a company of 5 people in the wellness industry and CEO and COO are sisters. They told me Monday during our meeting they'd like to outsource what I do and have me move to "cliente

This is another update. I screenshotted my previous post below. Back in May, my old coworkers from my previous job (real estate) told me that they were hiring for the front desk which is what I used to do. They've asked me before to come back but I always said no. I considered it this time because

I’m having trouble picking what to study at uni. I was wondering if anyone has insight into these careers?

Dear Queens, In a bit of good news, my toxic job has announced that budget cuts are resulting in my lay off to take effect at the end of the month. This makes me eligible for unemployment. What should I keep in mind when tying up loose ends? Am in the US. Thanks in advance!

Dear Queens, Since my last post, I have tried to count my blessings, but realize that the whole tech career thing won't really work out, since getting enough power to improve my situation is practically impossible. Especially since my gender and appearance keep counting against me no matter what I

In my experience this research is accurate, for LV men specifically. Studies like this show that subsciousnly the ego of a LV man is being better the women they're with, by being more successful. I saw dozens of responses to this research title of women saying their ex became more depressed upon whe

I went to work drinks, and someone who I thought was a "nice guy" got really weird with me during work drinks. At every chance he got, in the convo he used it to neg me. He also tried to brag that he's clearly the hottest guy in the office, almost like he was trying to fish a compliment out of me?

Pre-FDS (2019), right out of college, I was told that the job market was saturated with people in my field in the industry. It was implied that I would not land FT by the time I retired. The thought of being in "career limbo" and living on an entry level salary for the rest of my life was depressing

I stopped OLD in August 2021. It will be 3 years in August. After this time, I've gained some clarity and can finally talk about my experiences. I couldn't handle the back-to-back failures and rejection. I wasn't healing and processing these failures correctly. My last date was in August 2021 wh

You've been backstabbed too many times at work that even the thought of sharing your birth name causes trauma; But being steadfastly secretive and keeping everyone at bay causes your work life to be supremely difficult. And the office gossiper starts spreading outright lies about you because she (

Okay so basically, I am a masters student. I want to do a PhD someday as well. And I have the worst self-esteem and literally have no idea how to fix it. I hate everything about myself (appearance, sound of my voice, social skills, etc.) and I also view myself as dumb. I've always had these issues.

Dear Queens, I once had hope. I graduated with an excellent STEM degree and was recruited into a contractor position with a reputable Fortune 500 tech company. I thought it would be possible to contribute. I thought I could be a trailblazer. I ended up being the only woman and was mercilessly moc

I left my pretty decent paying job because of bad vibes from the scrotes there. They hardly trained me and lied on a performance review about my attendance and tried firing me because they didn't want to deal with training me because "I'm just a young girl", fuck that shit. I'm getting an overnigh

Hi Queens, seeing another post today about getting certified motivated me to ask for some help/advice. I know this is a long post so tldr: Had poor mental health that resulted in an overall bad cumulative gpa and not making the most out of my time in uni. I understand now every mistake I made and kn

I've been seeing a guy he has both LVM and HVM traits for 2 years and I'm at a fork in the road on ending it. There feels to be pressure on marriage starting to happen. I grew up with a toxic pick me mom, she's started to introduce topics like settling down and using verbiage akin to me settling d

Annoyingly, I have found myself yet again in a male-led team (originally intending to join the female-led team and wear my radfem badge with honour, but unfortunately I was needed elsewhere). So far it's been great. I have no issues with my male colleagues (even better that I spend my lunches with

I am recently 30, and that number made me feel a lot of pressure about my career. I tried to talk myself out of that fallacy, and realized the root of it is I still struggle financially some months. I had a promotion at my previous job, and the manager above me acted threatened that the district man

So I'm a recent Uni graduate and I'm looking to transition out of the part-time retail work I did while I was in school and into an office job. There is a specific position I am interested and I meet all but one of the required qualifications, which is 1 year of office work experience. Would you que

I've been looking for another job for a very long time now. Last month, my previous job asked me if I wanted to come back. I posted three screenshots for that below. I went on the interview with the hiring manager. She is aware of what went on and understood when I told her I do not wish to return.

This is long, so bear with me. I used to work part-time at a real estate office from March 2017-July 2018 as a receptionist. When I started, I thought it wasn't so bad. I liked my coworkers and the agents were awesome to work with. As time went on, I noticed toxicity, drama, and bullshit with upper

Many crappy male coworkers are wizards at self important resume descriptions, how wordy do you get with your resume? Are you no-nonsense and direct, or have you mastered the buzzwords and catch phrases to make the most simple task seem crucial? Is there industry lingo you use or avoid camouflagin

For the past 2 years, morale within my department has been at an all-time low. I want to spare the details, but everyone on my team (including myself) has tried to discuss our dissatisfactions to the general manager, but nothing has come from these discussions. I am a senior member on the team and f

Hey ladies, I'm looking for your stories regarding the moment you quit an industry. I'd like to read the backstory of all the moments that led up to it as well as a follow-up, if possible, because I'm close to quitting and want to assess if I'm quitting at the right time or too soon. Thank you.

I’ve been working for this small company as an independant contractor part time remotely for the past year. I get paid hourly, while other staff get paid a certain amount monthly (not hourly for them) not sure how they’re getting paid in December. This December 2023 we had the last week off and I

This is branching off from a friend-conversation I was having recently IRL. When weighing career choices, it seems it often comes down to balancing two big sides to the equation, and they are often in opposition for some reason. On one side -- salary and benefits; on the other side -- everything e

There’s this scrote nursing assistant I work with who has a terrible work ethic.  I’ve been holding my tongue for so long, as I am rather new on the unit and don’t want any bad blood.  But today he walked in in a freaking dirty hoodie, plopped down in a chair and scrolled through his phone for almos

I have been working at my job for almost 4 years now, and it's not a field I find a lot of enjoyment in. I honestly just needed a job at the time and didn't expect to stay with the company as long as I have. But, it seems to be the only job I can find that pays enough to allow me to afford living in

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — They attend the same classes with access to the same programs, and even come from the same families. But girls consistently are outperforming boys, graduating at higher rates at public high schools around the country. The gap between them is wide, often as wide as the achieveme

Certified in what?  Doesn’t matter. Hear me out: Years ago I dated a scrote who, at the time, was more educated than me.  He’d constantly rub his credentials in my face, bragging about his Bachelor’s Degree and that he passed the CBEST on his first try.  He’d comment on my job, saying it was not
