    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.

What is the dress code for woman in tech? It feels like it is really casual for men in the office but I think it is still a double standard for women to dress up more.

What is the most pointless thing you have to do on a week by week basis? For me, I just think about how much time I waste in some of my team meetings that I feel provide no value to the group. Sometimes it feels like the 30 minute meeting I have every thursday could just be an email

How do you deal with the feeling that your entire professional output is meaningless? I’m watching my company ignore every single one of my user-centric findings. They pay me to conduct deep-dive interviews and usability tests, but at the end of the day, the CEO just goes with whatever gut feeling he had. It’s soul-crushing.

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 just referred my brother in law to the same team I’m on. HR told me that was against policy. I was shocked. Has anyone heard that before? Again, I just sent a referral link and email. I didn’t demand them to hire him. I won’t even be on the hiring process.
