My client’s site got hacked yesterday. I didn’t see any actual signs of impending attack. But knowing how little we do for cyber security when building a site, I knew we must have been vulnerable in some way. I’ve tried pushing for more cybersecurity measures in the last year, but being a Jr, I don’t know a lot about it.

I've been working for 6 months as a recruiting temp. My original contract was dec-march. Then we mutually extended it when I had another offer for March. They then offered me full-time but I was interested in another role in another department. They agreed and I'm going to be working the 'temp to hire' role in the new department.

Am I allowed to ask for a new hourly rate for this 'new' role? I took the original rate due to covid necessity but would have asked for more if it was temp-to-hire.

Someone I work with was not promoted, and works like a maniac. Instead others were bought in to groom into future leaders. I guess why would the boss do that. The person was really hard working and did all the admin for the account. He got angry and left the team. I question if I should remain on such a team. I did get promoted, but it seems fishy. I guess I don’t want to work and later be told I’m not going to move up the ladder. I just question it as the boss lost a work horse.
