Are there any warning signs that I'm about to be laid off or fired? I feel a weird vibe when I come into the office. I swear my supervisor has been avoiding me all week.

For me there wasnt. I was told I was doing well and then randomly one day had a "Performance Discussuon" meeting put on my calendar... which really should have been labeled "Layoff Discussion."

Same, except mine said “Career Discussion”. I received it on my birthday and got the news the next day.

That’s the mark of poor management. I make sure I act normal and friendly up until the last day with my people.

In my experience management doesn’t even know (at least direct management)

When I was laid off I figured it out 3 days earlier based on clues just like that among others. Trust your gut, but you can also just make it so they can’t avoid you and see what happens.

Your supervisor will start distancing themselves from you.

Well, however obvious it is beforehand, at least nowadays it can be done in a Zoom. Must be way more awkward to be laid off in person.

Actually, it’s not. I feel like it’s much more humane

Back in the day before teams, etc. We had a guy that would come in to do the layoffs. Saw him twice in 3 years but what a weird vibe. Anyway there may or may not be signs. Not sure why we can't be adults and just tell someone in person.

How do you come up with your labs to make sure they are aligned with the unit.? I feel like I am doing well on EOC scores but I feel like my class is a drag because we just drill concepts and the labs are not making the connections I’d like between the lesson and the activity. It becomes them just following my instruction and not much scientific processing or troubleshooting to come up with the conclusion. I want to make scientist not just students that pass the EOC.

Any chance of score hitting 468, been waiting for an year now 😒😶

Totally disinterested in tax, have 2.5 years experience and masters in accounting. Banking and finance jobs for about 3 years before I got into accounting.

I have a coworker who keeps spouting comparative odds and situations in regards to the safety of the vaccine. Such as: you're twice as likely to get hit by lightening than have blod clots from JJ.

Can you shut the person down without starting a spat?
