If this is making you feel uncomfortable, especially if your boss is involved. You should go to whoever your boss reports to. Your boss has the... responsibility to maintain a safe work environment.

How do you handle negative criticism in the workplace? Does it impact your performance in a positive or negative way?

Kobet, thank you for your reply. You open up an interesting process of self appraisal. When appraising yourself, from my experience self appraisal can... be a slippery slope. If your manager debunks your assessment and has a different observation of your performance, how would you react, would it be the same way you react to other criticism?

At my firm, I work with more and more college graduates in the same position with an unemployment rate for college graduates between the ages of 21 -... 25 being at or close to 5% and increasing. While skills-based training is important, there are several other economic factors that are contributing to this problem.

Some of the solutions I share are: The Pivot to Skills-Based Hiring
GPA is Less Relevant: For the third straight year, less than 40% of employers are screening candidates based on GPA.

Skill-Based Screening is the Norm: Nearly two-thirds of employer's report using skills-based hiring practices (e.g., work samples, technical assessments, portfolio reviews) all or most of the time to identify candidates with potential.

"Experience Required" Entry-Level: A growing number of job postings classified as "entry-level" now demand a few years of prior experience, making the initial job search more difficult for new graduates.

It is a dichotomy of issues and challenges. If you would like to speak with me, I can set 15-minutes aside for you. more

Hello! I’m a pharmacist at one of the pharmacy chains. When I took this job, I specifically chose a position that came with a company car, partly because I hoped to use it occasionally for personal...

Emily, a company has the right to establish the policy on how the vehicle is used, and the purposes that it is used for. This is not uncommon at all.... Regardless of how you feel about the rules, they are the rules. If the company finds out you used the vehicle for personal use, they can terminate you for cause. If this makes the job not as appealing, you can always leave and find a new role. I am sure the company has plenty of resumes to fill your position.  more
