Our VP mandated that all cameras must be on for every single internal Zoom call. No one is happy. We’re supposed to be hybrid now, but this feels like a passive-aggressive way to make sure we’re sitting rigidly at our desks in full business casual at home. Was never like this when we were fully remote. Is this a reasonable expectation for a modern workplace?

What are the first 5 things you should do when you get put on a PIP? Just learned about it this morning. I didn't see it coming. Planning on working on the resume later, but I'm spiraling a bit right now.

While travlng for work, I got sick & had to miss a planned excursion. Later, at dinner, I was eating bread because my stomach was still upset. A coworker joked in front of the group that maybe I had drank too much. The comment bothered me because it wasn’t true, & it felt dismissive. This isn’t the first time this person has made teasing comments, but this one felt different because I was clearly not feeling well. How have you handled coworkers whose humor comes at someone else’s expense?

I’m curious how people think about loyalty now. Companies talk a lot about retention, but employees have learned not to assume stability. Do you still believe in staying long-term at one company?

How many of your PTO days do you typically take?
