How to get better at business writing? My director beats me up over this constantly and it kills my confidence. No matter what I write he has an issue. His feedback is never clear

My last manager got let go and the new manager was promoted from our internal team. New manager is not good with people and makes everyone upset because he doesn’t work well with people (ex blames instead of problem solving).

But new manager just sent a message letting me know we were going to let her go. CONT.

TIA!!

What are your thoughts on resume gaps? My work environment is extremely toxic right now and I feel like I can’t wait until I have something else lined up.

One friend is not vaccinated, which my other friend and I have tried to respect, but the woman exhibits 0 vigilance in the wake of the pandemic- she sleeps around with multiple partners a week, goes to raves, etc. I’m feeling uncomfortable having her at the dinner, and I know she will be insulted if I ask her to get tested prior to the dinner. What do I do or say?
