Manager

The biggest pain point we see today is the silos in supporting health care as a whole. Each department in a single health system can be so disparate from the other that it makes supporting the continuum of care more difficult than it should be. It also makes the support of each department from a technology department even more difficult.

My biggest issue is that I rely on clients providing me with their tax paperwork in order to prepare their returns. They often procrastinate or have trouble locating the documents resulting in a backlog of returns that need to be prepared last minute before the due date.

Freelancer

After freelancing in web and video since graduating in 2006, I've enjoyed the freedom and success of working solo. But with the arrival of my daughter, I am considering expanding into an agency. I'm hesitant about sacrificing the lifestyle I've grown accustomed to. It's a tough decision, knowing that if it succeeds, I might regret not making the leap sooner. I'm seeking advice from those who've faced similar choices, hoping to find clarity.

I have the daunting task of being the only Leave Administrator for a workforce of over 3,000 employees. I handle all leave requests, paperwork, and compliance tasks manually without external assistance. Is this workload typical? Looking for insights from others on how to streamline leave management in such a large scale operation.

Interpreter

I think I'm getting taken advantage of. I got hired as a medical interpreter with an American company, thinking I'd have a steady paycheck. But turns out, they're paying me per minute of work, and I'm not even getting many calls. I'm stuck at my computer for eight hours a day, hoping for work, but the pay isn't adding up. And what's worse? My colleagues from Europe have guaranteed salaries for doing the same thing. It just doesn't feel fair. What should I do?

I'm seeing these 'gurus' sharing how they tap into amazing SEO strategies that allow them to not have to spend money on acquiring new customers anymore, but I'm not sure if it's real, and who to trust. SEO is mostly a bunch of nerdy stuff the average person can't understand so you never know if what they're saying is true, and they all say it takes months to see results, so you end up paying so much for a service that you can't be sure will actually work. Any advice?

Struggling to win over my new team and get them to embrace the tools I was hired to implement. Despite the CTO's initial enthusiasm, I'm facing resistance in getting even basic systems adopted, like CI/CD that should help with code reviews. Is there a techincal solution, or do I need to charm my way through this?

My business uses a lot of text messages between our clients and our contractors, I'm struggling to handle texts from multiple phone lines. Moat services want us to get new Phone numbers to sign up, which is a no go. I've thought about using Slack threads and SMS forwarding tools, but I'm not sure if they'll help. If anyone has dealt with this and found a solution, I'd really appreciate your advice.

I run a souvenir shop in a tourist hotspot, and am constantly faced with customers haggling for discounts. It's frustrating because they wouldn't do this at larger retailers. Each discount request hurts my business. Despite standing firm, I'm drawn into unnecessary debates about pricing. Any tips on handling this?

After a year of bootstrapping my startup, I am looking to raise pre-seed money. This is my first time raising money. Outside of asking my network, I am a bit overwhelmed by where to start, considering the wide range of advice online from blogs & forums.
