Any funny Glow Ups? This person in my previous company/local office got fired as an associate and everyone talked about how awful she was & generally didn’t treat her well — later on she’s a director at one of their key accounts. Watch out who you treat like dirt.

Note: I left immediately after. Meaning that their “improvement plan” was NOT what made me a rockstar here.

I was mistreated by my former boss for years. She’d laugh while giving me “constructive” feedback. I used to feel nauseous before meeting with her. I am now in a role and at a firm that I enjoy wholeheartedly. She messages me on LinkedIn every so often to “check in on my career” after she was let go. She hasn’t found work since. It’s been 2 years.

Not exactly funny but it’s a reminder that those you kick when they’re down will eventually rise.

Another one from Deloitte (horrible local office that was internally competitive and nasty to people): This MD gave someone a bad MBA reference so they didn’t get into any top programs. The next cycle they left D and went to a boutique — got into a bunch of top programs. 😅 Moral of the story is stay far away from toxic trash.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

Been on a project for 2 weeks and thinking it’s not for me. The manager is kind of rude when I ask for help/direction, but he always says to ask if things are uncertain.

I just keep feeling anxious that I’m not meeting expectations and feel reluctant to ask for help. Anyone in the same boat?

I need some advice. I have some co workers that are really disgruntled and complain about their jobs a lot to me. It really bring me down and makes it hard for me to work because I get constant messages about how much they hate it here. I’m friends with them outside of work so I don’t want to explode on them. What do you recommend I do/say to them? I want our friendship to last but I can’t stand how they talk right now. And honestly some of their bitching is valid but some isn’t imo.
