three years of Ask a Manager! by Alison Green on May 27, 2010 Ask a Manager turns three today. I have no idea how I’ve managed to keep finding topics to write about for three years or how you all manage to keep finding new twists on the questions you send in! Here are some of my favorite posts from the last year: Combatting unhealthy power dynamics during a job search — the ones in your head What bad job news were you later grateful for? Help! I’m getting confusing and conflicting resume advice Sometimes it’s not about you How to deal with employee performance problems Which employee should be let go? How do you survive without a job? Everyone’s favorite: Co-worker moonlighting as prostitute during work hours And here’s a link to some of my favorite posts of all time. Thanks for reading me! I hope you stick around for another year. You may also like:my favorite posts of the decademy favorite posts of 2017is applying for jobs a numbers game? { 19 comments }
Anonymous* May 27, 2010 at 3:17 pm More people should know about this blog! I'd suggest a TV show, but that might ruin the greatness that is AAM blog! Congratulations on this milestone! Thanks for doing all employers and employees a service out there.
Ursula* May 27, 2010 at 5:12 pm Congratulations! I can't begin to tell you how much your blog has helped me. I haven't gotten work yet, but this site has helped keep me sane during my search. Thank you so very much!
Jay* May 27, 2010 at 6:49 pm Congrats! Three years of great content. I must have missed the prostitution post the first time around. Definitely a classic :)
Anonymous* May 27, 2010 at 10:13 pm Congratulations! I'm so happy I found both you and Evil HR Lady. Your blog is terrific!
De Minimis* May 27, 2010 at 10:29 pm Congratulations! I first discovered AAM in fall of 2008. I had just begun my first "professional" job and was having a rough time of it. Although I can't say that the advice here saved my job, it did give me some insight as to what might be going on in my workplace [btw, virtually none of the 20+ people who started at the same time I did are there either.] I have been on the job hunt since last fall, but I can't tell you how many times I've brought up questions suggested here and had interviewers respond, "That's a really good question." I know that someday soon, all of the advice here will pay off for me. Thanks so much! I will always be a faithful reader.

Pat Wood* May 28, 2010 at 7:27 pm Woohoo! Congrats on 3 years, that's quite impressive. Keep up the awesome posts they've been so helpful over ever since I came across your blog last year.
Aubrey* May 29, 2010 at 1:09 am Thanks so much, AAM. Your advice is spot-on and I always come here first when I want a work question answered!

Jacob Share* May 31, 2010 at 3:49 pm Mazel tov on AAM turning 3, Alison. It's still impressive when bloggers get beyond the 1 year hump. 3 years seems like a decade. Keep it up!
Anonymous* June 17, 2010 at 12:18 pm AAM – do you recommend people starting blogs on topics that are related to their career? You're interested in the management aspect and have written here. I was wondering what's your take on being a blog writer (or is it "blogger?").
