5,000th post by Alison Green on June 19, 2015 This is the 5,000th post on Ask a Manager since the site launched in 2007. When I started the site eight years ago, I thought I had about six months of posts in me, and had no idea if anyone would send in any questions. Today, the site gets 50+ questions a day, 2 million visits a month, and Money, Time, Fast Company, and Inc. are all syndicating Ask a Manager content. It’s exciting! Thanks for being part of it.

John* June 19, 2015 at 10:36 am Congratulations! You are providing a great public service. This site is fun and informative.
KTGab* June 19, 2015 at 10:37 am Awesome milestone! Congrats Alison, and thanks for everything you do here. I know you’ve helped so many people, myself included!
Colorado* June 19, 2015 at 10:39 am Congrats Alison! You are truly a gem! Informative, funny, serious, and you really provide a great service that’s second to none!
Dawn* June 19, 2015 at 10:40 am YAYYYY! I love this site and recommend it to everyone. It’s helped me and all of my friends countless times! Thanks for all you do, and here’s to 5,000 more posts!
Future Analyst* June 19, 2015 at 10:40 am Wahoo! Thanks for sharing all of this with us– this has truly been an invaluable resource to me, and I recommend it to anyone who will listen. :)
Jeanne* June 19, 2015 at 10:41 am Amazing! I recommed your site all the time. Thanks for the good advice!
Hellanon* June 19, 2015 at 10:42 am Congratulations! It’s a phenomenal site – my compliments to AAM & the commenters too.
Josh S* June 19, 2015 at 10:42 am Congratulations, and I hope your success continues for as long as you desire! Your workplace advice is easily the best, most practical, and most sensible out there. Thanks for bringing sanity to a world that too often lacks it!
Elizabeth West* June 19, 2015 at 10:42 am Congratulations, Alison! You’ve worked very hard and you should get a medal for all the help you provide. :D
Roly Poly Little Bat Faced Girl* June 19, 2015 at 10:44 am Or at least a golden Barbie. Alison, your site is the best resource on the web. Thank you!
Katie the Fed* June 19, 2015 at 10:44 am Thank YOU, Alison! I’d be tormenting my underlings a lot more if it weren’t for your sound advice.
puddin* June 19, 2015 at 10:53 am LOL – this was a great ‘confession.’ Managers and underlings alike – rejoice!
ed* June 19, 2015 at 11:39 am Thanks, Allison! I would BE a tormented underling if it weren’t for your sound advice.
LBK* June 19, 2015 at 10:44 am Hooray! I’ve been reading and commenting for just over a year now and I can’t overstate enough how much it’s become integrated into my life, both in terms of time spent on the site and in how it’s shaped the way I think about work and my career. I’ve even picked up some things I use in my personal life. Thank you for continuing to provide this amazing resource and for hosting what I believe is hands down the best community on the internet. Here’s to another 5000 posts!
it happens* June 19, 2015 at 10:45 am Thank you for providing a sensible, courteous space for people to discuss work and life. Now on to 10,000!
mina* June 19, 2015 at 10:45 am Awesome Sauce! I have learned so much here about the proper way to conduct myself professionally.
Traveler* June 19, 2015 at 10:47 am Congrats Alison! This site is amazing. Thank you so much for providing solid advice for so many years.
Emily, admin extraordinaire* June 19, 2015 at 10:48 am Thank you, Alison! I’ve been a reader since 2008, when you were still anonymous! I’ve learned so much and had so much fun, and I hope you never retire! ;)
Toast* June 19, 2015 at 10:48 am Congrats!!! Can we have our open Friday post now? I’ve been waiting for it all morning.
Joshua* June 19, 2015 at 10:51 am I’ve been reading AAM since before I entered the workforce. It has definitely shaped my career so far – I don’t know where I’d be without it. Thanks for everything Alison!
kozinskey* June 19, 2015 at 10:51 am Congratulations! I’m so glad I stumbled across this site last year. Thanks for providing such a great resource for job-holders and job-hunters alike!
nep* June 19, 2015 at 10:51 am Congratulations, Alison. You provide a great service here — both your brilliant insights and advice, and your engendering a forum for always intelligent, thought-provoking discussion. Thanks, all.
puddin* June 19, 2015 at 10:51 am I just referred this site to a friend who was recently laid off. She was so impressed – as I was when I first ran across it from a Business Journal article. You have created a relevant and straightforward advice site with a respectful comment community – this is no easy feat! Congrats Alison!
Colleen* June 19, 2015 at 10:51 am Congratulations! This is a site that both informs and entertains me–it’s the highlight of my weekdays. I’ve used your advice in job searches (my cover letters are so much better now) and have recommended friends do the same. AAM is a true goldmine of information. Thank you, Alison.
Bangs not Fringe* June 19, 2015 at 10:54 am Congratulations! Your current posts and the wealth of archives have been helping me wade through a year of a not-so-great position. And I’ve learned much when it comes to finding a new one, from writing cover letters to looking out for the red flags so that I don’t end up in a similarly bad situation. Looking forward to 5,000 more! ;)
Adam* June 19, 2015 at 10:55 am Congratulations on all your hard work! You’ve helped me immensely with my job search and in turn at least two more of my friends. Here’s hoping your message spreads even further!
Apollo Warbucks* June 19, 2015 at 10:56 am Thanks Alison ! This is without doubt my favourite site on the internet, you should be really proud of what you’ve created here and the community you’ve brought together. It’s rare to find such a kind and considerate group of people to interact with.
Meg Murry* June 19, 2015 at 10:57 am Yay! I love this site, it’s so helpful and useful. I’ve been through a lot of the archives, but I’ve never made it all the way back to the very beginning – I guess I knew the site had been around for a while, but I didn’t realize it was 2007. Although I suspect in 2007 I may not have been ready to hear what you were saying – I learned an awful lot of things the hard way between then and now.
Kay* June 19, 2015 at 10:58 am Congratulations! One of the best sites on the web, hands-down. Here’s to 5,000 more posts!
Emmie* June 19, 2015 at 11:00 am Congratulations! Your blog is on my must read daily list along with my favorite news websites. You do a fantastic job posting engaging relevant content with thoughtful broad work applicable advice. Cannot wait to read your 5 millionth post!
AllieJ* June 19, 2015 at 11:00 am Thank you for providing such a wonderful service! This site has been immensely helpful to me and I recommend it to everyone, but especially young professionals. Thank you!
AndersonDarling* June 19, 2015 at 11:39 am I was about to say the same thing! Alison, you have really provided a great service to all employees, and I honestly think you have made the world a better place by showing people that they can leave crummy jobs and you give them the tools to do so. You have helped so many people by sharing your knowledge. Thank you!
cuppa* June 19, 2015 at 11:01 am Hooray! Thanks for doing what you do, Alison. I’ve learned so much and it’s made me a better employee and manager.
Mimmy* June 19, 2015 at 11:01 am Congratulations Alison!! I’ve been reading for about 4 years I think but wish I’d known about this site from the get-go because that was around the time I was struggling in my job. Your no-nonsense but down-to-earth advice probably would’ve been a huge help and I’d be still rocking it today! (well, maybe, lol). Shout out also to the awesome commenters here. We’ve learned a lot from each other as well.
ThursdaysGeek* June 19, 2015 at 11:56 am I’ve only been reading about 2.5 years, and I wish I’d found the site about 30 years ago! :) It’s a great community and an awesome blog, so congratulations. Getting great job advice near the end of my career reminds me of when the first word processors arrived at my college — right after I wrote my last college term paper on that old beater typewriter. But I still enjoy reading and learning anyway. Thank you.
AnonAnalyst* June 19, 2015 at 3:29 pm I totally agree with all of this! I’m generally happy with the career decisions I’ve made in the last 5-7 years but I sometimes wonder if I would have done things differently if I had had the perspectives back then that Alison and the commentariat provide. I’m just happy I stumbled across this site during my last job search 3 years ago! I’ve learned a lot, and reading the posts (even if I can’t read all the comments, which makes me sad) is always a staple of my workday (and often a highlight!) Congratulations Alison! Here’s to 5000 more!
Michael* June 19, 2015 at 11:02 am Thank you so much for all you do, Allison! I have been reading this blog avidly for months. Since then, my job search has picked up – people are actually calling me for interviews – and I helped my husband negotiate an extra $3,000 worth of salary at his new job…the company said yes! We owe it all to your fabulous blog.
hildi* June 19, 2015 at 11:03 am Congrats!! Your success here kind of reminds me of HONY. It’s one of those things that just keeps growing and growing because of the quality involved. Double bonus that on AAM it’s also incredibly practical and useful advice!
Stackson* June 19, 2015 at 11:05 am Congratulations! You have helped so many people with your site, and I actually just had a phone interview yesterday that went very well, thanks to your excellent advice!
SilverRadicand* June 19, 2015 at 11:05 am Huzzah for Alison! To great workplace advice and another 5,000 posts!
SaraV* June 19, 2015 at 11:06 am Woo hoo! Who would’ve thunk seeing this site mentioned on PurseBlog about two years ago would be such a help. Congrats Allison!
Dang* June 19, 2015 at 11:06 am Congratulations, Alison! Thanks for the great resources over the years!
Lucy* June 19, 2015 at 11:07 am Congratulations! This site has been such a wonderful resource, and you have the only comments section I go out of my way to read :)
PennyLane* June 19, 2015 at 11:08 am Congrats! I started reading regularly about six months ago and this is easily one of my top 5 favorite blogs to read every day. I’ve recommended this to people (including just this week on my own blog) and provided advice to friends based on your advice. You’re providing such a service and education.
Jane* June 19, 2015 at 11:10 am Thanks so much Alison. Your site helped me decide to apply for and land my dream job. I appreciate your writing and advice, as well as the thoughtful, considerate community you’ve helped create.
Carrie in Scotland* June 19, 2015 at 11:10 am Congratulations Alison! You’ve made me a better employee – here’s to the next milestone!
42* June 19, 2015 at 11:10 am Happy 5000!! What a great feeling when outcomes exceed expectations. Here’s to the next 5000; Mazel Tov!
BRR* June 19, 2015 at 11:11 am Congratulations! But even more thank you! You and this site are directly responsible for me getting my current job and will be responsible for the jobs I get in the future. This site has taught me how to write a cover letter and resume, how terrible the job hunting advice out there is, how to interview, how to behave in an office, how an office functions (or at least should function), and I could really go on forever. It has also provided me a great support system as I go through my current troubles at work. I hope you know how much help you have given people.
Nina* June 19, 2015 at 11:14 am Congratulations, Allison. AAM has become a part of my daily routine and a truly valuable resource. Cheers to you!
Lalaith* June 19, 2015 at 11:14 am You are awesome! I’m so glad for you and that this whole community exists.
Sadsack* June 19, 2015 at 11:15 am I really appreciate all of the advice and humor I find here, thanks to you and your readers!
Mean Something* June 19, 2015 at 11:16 am Congratulations on your milestone, and thanks for such a thoughtful, well-written site!
Aussie Teacher* June 19, 2015 at 11:19 am Thank you for this invaluable site, your brilliant advice and especially the tactful but straightforward scripts you include in nearly every post. I have totally revamped my resume and cover letter thanks to you, and am actually considering moving into education management thanks to nearly 4 years of daily-AAM-ing!! Love this site and the commenters too – congratulations on this milestone!
JC* June 19, 2015 at 11:21 am Congratulations! I stumbled upon Ask A Manager when I was job-hunting in 2012. It is now the only website I regularly check every day.
Lead, Follow or Get Outta the Way!* June 19, 2015 at 11:21 am Allison, you ROCK! It’s so refreshing to hear the common sense answers you give, the talking points you provide and your ever so thoughtful but REAL insight you provide. As for many others, this is a daily stop during the work week for me and I sing your praises to anyone who will listen. Congratulations!
MM* June 19, 2015 at 11:22 am Congrats!! I found your blog back in 2009 when I had zero job prospects and was desperate to find out what I was doing wrong. I remember reading each post all the way back to 2007 – I doubt there’s one I haven’t read since. I have followed it almost daily since, bought the ebooks, had a bunch of my own questions answered, and read some really interesting (and sometimes crazy) stories along the way. I credit my getting a job, progressing in my career, and my overall professionalism to your blog. I really do. Thank you for being such a wonderful resource. I truly believe your advice has helped bring me where I am in my career today.
Muriel Heslop* June 19, 2015 at 11:23 am Congratulations! You are providing an amazing service! I love referring people to this site!
GOG11* June 19, 2015 at 11:23 am Congratulations!! And thank you for all the amazing information and advice you provide.
Alex* June 19, 2015 at 11:26 am Amazing!!! Thank you so much for all you do! This is the single website I’ve continued to read every day for years now. I’ve referred so many people and learned so much.
AMG* June 19, 2015 at 11:27 am No, thank you for helping to make me a better person and better able to provide for my family! Congratulations to you!
ZSD* June 19, 2015 at 11:31 am Congratulations! And THANK YOU for all the great advice you’ve given us so far! I refer everyone to this site.
Jessica (the celt)* June 19, 2015 at 11:34 am I recommend your site to people all of the time, because you have such reasonable advice for employees and managers. I love that you’re so active in the comments, because yours is the only website where I regularly read the comments, because I know it isn’t going to devolve into a bunch of hate-spewing. (And yet you encourage us to have fun and discuss differing opinions, which has created an amazing community. Thank you!)
SwissTeapot* June 19, 2015 at 11:39 am Congratulations! Thank you for all the great advice you’re given and shared. I’ve not only learned a great deal of what’s appropriate and what’s not, but also tried to follow your to-the-point-but-still-kind approach when giving advice to other people.
SandrineSmiles (France)* June 19, 2015 at 11:45 am Congrats! You’re a NO BS kind of person, and that’s why I liked you when I discovered the site. You deserve good things :) ! WOOHOO!
AtrociousPink* June 19, 2015 at 11:49 am Congratulations! Your blog is so addictive; it’s the one I never skip reading even when I’m snowed under with work. I always find that 2 minutes to catch up on Ask a Manager. I’m pleased you’ve had the success you deserve.
Jeff A.* June 19, 2015 at 11:52 am Congrats, Alison! Thanks for letting us all come along for the ride
Ally* June 19, 2015 at 11:54 am Congratulations Alison! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom with us!
The Other Dawn* June 19, 2015 at 11:58 am Congrats! I have to say, this site has been a Godsend for me. I spent many years (17!) in one tiny company and thought for the most part Management was great and we did things “the way they should be done.” Now that I’ve been reading this site for the last 3 years? Not so much. It’s helped me navigate some situations, and instruct me on how to navigate if others should arise. It’s also shown me what a great manager looks like, which I strive to be everyday. When I find myself doing something not-so-great, I automatically thing, “What would AAM and the readers do/say?” Many times that prompts me to change whatever not-so-great thing I’m doing, or thinking of doing. And I love the open threads!
Prismatic Professional* June 19, 2015 at 11:59 am Congratulations! Thank you so much for all your insight and help! I’d also like to thank you for creating such a great commenting community! I actually read the comments on your site and am regularly entertained and educated. :-)
Hermoine Granger* June 19, 2015 at 11:59 am Congrats! Lots of great questions, zany work situations, and good advice over the years. I wish you much continued success.
bkanon* June 19, 2015 at 12:05 pm Congratulations! This is a great site, with fantastic commenters, and such helpful advice. One of the few places online that I visit every day.
NoCalHR* June 19, 2015 at 12:05 pm Yay Allison! AAM is my all-time favorite professional blog, and I recommend it to everyone – at the office, leading workshops, commenting other places in espace. Here’s to continued success!!
Golden Yeti* June 19, 2015 at 12:06 pm Congratulations and thank you to Alison for having the courage to make such a great site happen! I also think it’s a great testament to Alison to see the calibre of commenters we have here. People here have the best intentions and are genuinely kind and helpful. It has been a great sounding board and venting board for me personally, as I’m seeking something better for myself. Thanks again to Alison and everyone who helps make Ask A Manager great!
CrazyCatLady* June 19, 2015 at 12:09 pm Congratulations! I love your site and it’s been extremely helpful to me. My husband laughs at me because I force myself to stay awake until your midnight post is posted!
Laurel Gray* June 19, 2015 at 12:15 pm Congrats! Love this blog – there’s so much knowledge and help for job searching and workplace navigation from both you and commenters. And so much entertainment!
Kiribitz* June 19, 2015 at 12:19 pm Congratulations! I credit this blog for keeping my brain semi-into the workforce which is much needed as I am currently as SAHM and the rest of my brain is slowly turning into mush.
Stranger than fiction* June 19, 2015 at 12:23 pm Congratulations Alison! And thanks for being an inspiration to someone who’s practically allergic to being assertive (I’m getting a bit better at it every day)
A good old canuck* June 19, 2015 at 12:25 pm Congrats Alison! This is the one time I wish the post had a “like” button.
Lily in NYC* June 19, 2015 at 12:30 pm Congratulations! And thank you for all of the amazing advice and for being fun.
Queue* June 19, 2015 at 12:31 pm Congratulations! AAM is a part of my daily reading and conversations with friends, family, and colleagues.
Ellie the EA* June 19, 2015 at 12:39 pm Congratulations!!! (virtual confetti thrown & champagne popping) :-)
Sarah Nicole* June 19, 2015 at 12:39 pm Yay, congrats, Alison! This is my favorite blog and I read it every day. It has helped me so much! I have also recommended it to friends and family on so many occasions. Thanks for all you do!
E.R.* June 19, 2015 at 12:52 pm Congrats! I first came to this site in 2011 after googling a question like “do I have to accept a job offer?” after the most horrifying interview of my life (I was unemployed at the time). I’ve been coming to this site almost daily ever since, and recommend it to folks all the time.
FD* June 19, 2015 at 12:53 pm Congratulations! You’ve helped me get jobs and massively improve my approach to work!
brightstar* June 19, 2015 at 12:56 pm Congratulations! I’ve been reading for a little over 4 years and this site has been a huge help to me and for that, thank you. From when I was looking for a job (for 3 years) it helped me with my resume and cover letters. To now, where I supervise a department and regularly try to implement your advice. It’s helped me in interviews, and even in my personal life in how to communicate better. Thanks again!
No Longer Passing By* June 19, 2015 at 12:59 pm Congrats, Alison. Thank you for providing such a valuable service. As a member of a small family company, there were many times that I had questions on the appropriate way to handle certain issues with peers, subordinates, and supervisors. Although I mostly lurked and did not participate, this website has provided me with alternate viewpoints, possible policies, sample scripts, and just plain good advice. The commentariat are intelligent, articulate, and have diverse work experiences, which also has been helpful. I appreciate your hard work and creating a zone where so many people that I’ve come to respect from afar can gather.
The Other Katie* June 19, 2015 at 1:02 pm Congrats!! Here’s to 5,000 more. Thanks for all that you do, you’ve helped so many people (myself included!).
YandO* June 19, 2015 at 1:06 pm I don’t mean to sound dramatic, but Alison and your blog have changed my life. I used to be fearful and timid when it comes to job search and now I actually have confidence and know my value. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
louise* June 19, 2015 at 1:15 pm It *is* exciting! I love that you let us be part of it, through ask the readers posts, interviewing interesting people posts, and taking our feedback and interacting with us in the comments. I feel like you’re one of those friendly celebrities that I could totally approach if I saw you in an airport.* *Please let me know if that’s not okay and I’ll hold back. :)
The Cosmic Avenger* June 19, 2015 at 1:23 pm Cool! Remember that thread this week about internet use at work, and a bunch of us said that AAM is our “professional development” time? I wasn’t joking. Reading AAM really helps me handle specific work situations, and I feel like I’m doing a better job because of what I’ve read and discussed here.
Panda Bandit* June 19, 2015 at 1:26 pm Thank you for making such an informative and awesome blog. It’s a fantastic resource and it’s very much needed because people don’t explain or teach many of these things. I’ve learned a lot and I keep referring people back here because this is something everyone should be reading.
Dr. Speakeasy* June 19, 2015 at 1:36 pm Congrats! This site makes me a better prof because while “how to get a job” isn’t my subject matter, it is definitely information my students can use.
Cath in Canada* June 19, 2015 at 1:48 pm Congratulations Alison, and thank you for all the awesome content! I’m sure my manager thanks you too, and my future direct reports, should I ever acquire any :) Thank you to all the awesome commenters, too. I learn something new here every day!
Lamington* June 19, 2015 at 1:57 pm Yay Allison! I don’t always comment but I’m a loyal reader. You are my go-to guru for work issues. Congrats!
Danielle Kempe* June 19, 2015 at 2:20 pm Congrats Alison! I’m so glad you started this blog & I love reading it! Looking forward to many more interesting posts.
Wakeen's Teapots Ltd.* June 19, 2015 at 2:36 pm Yes well, I’d like you to know that I have started SEVERAL blogs, not just one. (My current estimate is that I’ll need to start approx 1250 blogs to reach 5000 posts total…..) Congratulations on the follow through!! xo you’re the best!
daily reader* June 19, 2015 at 3:08 pm Wow, that’s awesome; I love this site and recommend it constantly. Enjoy the success!
OpusAna* June 19, 2015 at 3:13 pm Your thorough, thoughtful advice is so appreciated and your scripts for those difficult conversations are incredibly helpful. You are performing a great service for many, daily(!), Thank you!
Amber Rose* June 19, 2015 at 3:14 pm Woo! Thanks so much for sticking with it, I have learned a TON from you and the community.
AvonLady Barksdale* June 19, 2015 at 3:15 pm Congratulations!!!! Here’s to 5000 more… unless you retreat to the woods with a stack of books first. :)
A Cita* June 19, 2015 at 3:27 pm Congrats and well deserved! I’ve been a devoted follower since 2009 and I recommend this site to everyone (which of course has led me to change my comment name here and reveal fewer details/comment less–but all in the good cause of promoting sound management and candidate support!). You are the signal. :)
danr* June 19, 2015 at 5:17 pm Adding Congratulations and a Mazel Tov! I wish I had found AAM earlier since I missed the first years, but I’ve continually recommended it to others who are just starting out in the world of work and job hunting.
Liza* June 19, 2015 at 5:23 pm I’m adding my voice to the congratulations and the thanks! I’ve learned so many things from your posts and from other commenters. I even have a running document called “AskAManager tidbits” where I make note of things I learn here that I particularly want to remember! (With attribution, of course. I don’t know anyone’s real name except Alison’s, but I can say “Commenter ___ wrote…”)
Windchime* June 19, 2015 at 5:34 pm I can honestly say that this is the only website that I visit, without fail, every single day. I came home from work early today and am sitting outside on my patio, and the first thing I pulled up on my laptop is AAM. I stumbled across this site several years ago and never looked back. I purchased Alison’s book for my son when he was having a hard time with finding a job. In short, I’m a huge fan. Thanks for all you do, Alison!
Today's anon* June 19, 2015 at 5:47 pm Congratulations!!! I don’t remember how I found your blog but I’ve learned so much from it. Thank you.
Ask a Manager* Post authorJune 19, 2015 at 6:07 pm Thanks, y’all! This is all very nice. I thought I was doing a big reveal by mentioning all the syndication (most of which is fairly new) — is no one excited? I am excited :) Seriously, though, thank you!
Not So NewReader* June 19, 2015 at 9:01 pm You deserve that recognition (in the form of syndication), Alison. It’s long overdue. You know what you are talking about and you offer clear, easy-to-understand advice day after day after day…. I have said it before and I will stand by this opinion: you have done more to help people get jobs and retain jobs than our government/our schools ever thought about doing. When other people were tearing down workers and companies, you were trying build them up and make them stronger. Because as we all know, we all need to eat and have a roof over our heads, you keep that basic thought at the forefront of your thinking. If even 10% of the population had your selfless attitude we would have a whole different world out there. Selfishly, I hope you write for the rest of your life. Realistically, I wish you many more years of enjoyment from your work. Thank you.
QualityControlFreak* June 20, 2015 at 12:57 pm Adding my thanks, and yes, the syndication IS exciting – more people will have access to your amazing resource! This is a huge accomplishment and you have touched so many people’s lives in a positive way. Keep up the awesome!
The Cosmic Avenger* June 20, 2015 at 3:04 pm I totally missed the significance of that, congratulations!
Fish Microwaver* June 19, 2015 at 10:15 pm Happy holy Hanukkah balls AAM. I’m so glad I stumbled upon this site. I love your advice and that of the readers, and your good will and humour. You rock.
