I think my boss responded to an important email from me with AI. Either way, the response I got was unhelpful, but there’s the added sting of feeling blown off. I had very specific questions for feedback. What’s the respectful way to handle this? Hello. This is the GoToGreg bot. Thank you for your question, … Read more
I was told that I was performing above and beyond, but the company is struggling financially and said they can’t justify a lot of promotions this year. Last year, some co-workers jumped two levels. I know promotions aren’t always fair or equitable, but I’m disappointed and depressed. There are so many factors that go into … Read more
I really thought that baking was it for me, but when I found classes and a job I found my motivation actually didn’t go past my home kitchen. I’m looking to reroute to another of my interests but now I’m starting to doubt myself. How do I know if a passion is strong enough to … Read more

My boss is crowing all over the office about the election results but I’m not as happy about it. Can I say something to him? I don’t want him to know my leanings in case he holds it against me. Some are crowing, others are crying, which is why you should leave politics for the … Read more
I’m a veteran and I’ve had no luck in job interviews. I’m not asked about my time in the military, they only want work experience. I don’t really have any, since I enlisted at 18. I served in the Iraq War. Shouldn’t that count for something? How do I get past this? First of all, … Read more
Is it possible to be a good leader without being charismatic? I’m the highest performer on my team, but I have autism, and freeze up during in-person meetings, although I’m very comfortable on Slack or email. I’ve been told I have a blank expression and I should smile more, but I don’t think you can … Read more

I saw your response regarding the person who wanted to reapply to his old firm. My son left his job for a more prestigious role in a bigger company but it is a hectic and dysfunctional office.

I had an initial interview for a job and there was no salary listed, nor could I find anything on LinkedIn. When the company asked what I was looking for, I asked if they could give me a range, but they refused to do so. There’s six rounds of interviews for this job and I … Read more

I recently left a job because there was no growth and no other suitable positions within the company. My new job is OK but not great. Now the previous company has advertised an opening for a role I wanted before I left. It’s a quality position. Should I apply or will they laugh me out … Read more
I just landed a job in sales but honestly, I haven’t got a clue what to do and how to go about this. I’m totally faking it at this point, and no one seems to be there for me with instruction or as a mentor. How do I find good advice on how to do … Read more
I had fun for far too long and now I have nothing for the long term. I didn’t go to school or become an entrepreneur and I don’t even know what job I want to do. All I do know is that I don’t like working by myself, and I love problem solving in a … Read more

A few months ago, a company invited me for an interview. They said they liked me, but felt it wasn’t a good fit. Since then, I’ve actually done more work in that particular area, and they just reposted the role. Should I apply with an updated résumé, or is that too pushy? Demonstrating continued interest … Read more

I was offered a job with amazing benefits — health, dental, flexible schedule, the works — but the pay is terrible. It’s about half the industry standard. Do I try talking them into more money, or just walk away? Why would you walk away without trying? If you won’t take the job at the salary … Read more
