Hi all. I have yrs of experience in finance, never fired. Took an opportunity presented to me by a recruiter that seemed. like a good career move and was terminated after six weeks for “performance“. I was still onboarding and did not yet have full access to all systems. There was no PIP. I was still in training. After 8 years and working for a regulator for 3 I am blindsided. Can anyone advise?

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’ve noticed some people chase promotions for validation and then realize they don’t enjoy the actual responsibilities. That seems more common than we admit. Have you ever pursued a role and then realized you didn’t really want it?

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?

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
