Hi Everyone, I have been having trouble finding a new job (10 months and counting) as a Project Manager despite my extensive experience in the financial industry, I don't want to speculate on the reasons, but now I'm getting to the point of applying for jobs at Walmart or Costco so I can pay my bills more easily, I'm fine with this because work is work but I can't help but think that there may be other options for work that I'm just not considering, or not know about. Any thoughts? Thanks

I overheard a conversation I wasn’t supposed to hear, and now I’m convinced my entire department is about to be nuked. I can't ask them about it without admitting I eavesdropped, but the not knowing is driving me insane. Do I start applying for jobs now? There’s probably no way to bring this up without letting them know I was someplace I wasn’t really supposed to be.

Leadership question: When a supervisor asks for your honest opinion about a coworker, how candid should you be? Do you give your unfiltered assessment if you believe the person is underperforming or relying too heavily on others, or do you focus only on objective facts and let management draw its own conclusions? Curious how others have handled this situation.

I’m curious—what evidence are you seeing that men are experiencing reverse discrimination? In financial services, it still seems like most senior leadership positions are held by men. I’m at a conference and overheard a conversation at the next table.

I’ve started blocking focus time on my calendar and protecting it like a meeting. It felt awkward at first, but it’s helping. What’s one small productivity habit that actually works for you?
