When I arrived to my interview 15 minutes early, the interviewer made a remark of how early I was. As our interview progressed, I answered all the questions to the best of my ability, however I was really nervous. After each question he asked, there would be a long silence. Lastly on my way out, he asked if I had any questions for him. I responded if he could tell me one thing he liked and

I'm a senior manager at a Fortune 500 company. Recently, our HR Department implemented a 360-degree feedback for my group. For the first time in 20 years my subordinates will be allowed to evaluate my overall performance. It'll also include a self-assessment and, in my case, feedback from external sources such as customers and suppliers and other interested stakeholders. I was assured that the

My company has recently undergone a merger. In the midst of all the reorganization and layoffs, I have noticed that a colleague of mine has become "trigger happy" when small things go wrong on my project. I am concerned that this person is trying to sabotage me in front of others by pointing out my weaknesses. My first instinct is to ignore it, but it's starting to affect how others perceive my

I've been with a company for 3 1/2 years. My department has downsized from 9 to our current 5. In March, our hours were reduced by 5 per week and recently, reduced another 5 hours. I maintain the HR records and am aware that 1 highly compensated employee did not suffer the most recent reduction in pay/hours. I brought it to my boss' attention that I did not think it was fair that the rest of the

I was partnered with another employee who had been with the company for over a year. During my recent performance review, my manager verbally stated that he may terminate me since I overreached my responsibilities, and left little assignments for my partner. I believe that my partner is just using that as an excuse because she can't meet her deadlines/quotas and I have to pick up her slack.

My manager told me that I am not match with my company's work environment(ie fast pace). So, I was advised to find a new job before I am terminated. My manager also emphasized that the company can't wait for too long. After 4 weeks of looking I can't find a new job. I've been working for 10 years now, without a termination. I recently asked if the company would consider laying me off instead,
