Been at my current agency for 2 years. Last place ended badly. Reported manager for discrimination and was retaliated against. Lost job a week later. He eventually was fired for multiple reports. This week our brand has gone quiet until end of June. I got switched over to another team to help out. That manager from previous job is freelancing for them.

Do I tell them I have to have limited interactions? Both for legal and health reasons.

Are you just helping out this team on a short-term basis, or will it be your team going forward?

helpful

Right now just short term. Too early to say if I end up on this team long term. Depends what happens with my main brand. Freelancers do tend to stay on for a while and bounce around teams as needed.

Will you have to interact with them at a significant level? If so, I’d keep it high level and say that you are always of the mindset that people can change, and you will give it a go, but you do want to flag that this person was let go at a previous role due to negative team interaction. You may want to wait till you are interacting and a smaller incident occurs and then notate it is small but it is a creeping in. You do not have to identify that you were let go as that is not something any previous employer is allowed to legally disclose. If pressed, you could simply say you left to a role that was both capitalizing on existing skills and has opportunities to advance them further.

Most likely I will have to interact. Unsure what level as I have not been getting assigned work on this team over the past 3 days. I’m meant to be 100% for a minimum of 2 weeks.
Following their initial discrimination and the effects of it - it put me in the hospital for a weekend. It would be a legal conflict of interest for this new company say if anything happened.

Following for answers

You should tell them you won't work with him at all and they shouldn't either.
