Tbf, my sec always had a way of finding out beforehand and would tell me so I could take the lift down with my laptop/docs and go for a coffee and review docs until we were allowed back in!

I thought it normal to be told ahead which days the firedrill would be to make sure we didn't schedule important workshops/meetings and that the delegated safety chiefs were on site that day (not working remote). Their job was to take headcount and herd the wayward to the stairs - especially those of us stubbornly trying to work through the alarms 😅.

We have a weekly fire test and then 2x a year drills which our fire wardens execute and the employees aren't told about so that it simulates a true fire escape scenario and how long it would actually take.

Had my interview this past Monday.

My recruiter meets every Thursday to get feedback from the interviewer, so I’m not expecting to hear back until next Friday.

I get an email today, from a Googler, an invite to apply for a position. I did not accept or decline yet and I don’t have any details. I did look up the person who sent me the invite, the person is a regional lead.

Any ideas what this could be? I’m a bit nervous and don’t know if I should reach out to my recruiter to ask her?

My colleague at work who’s in the junior parallel role / receptionist just drives me crazy. As a Marketing specialist, I oversee our social pages + following on requests from there. Yesterday she said - “Maybe you could also reply to all requests on our general customer email?” I said I don’t know how to prioritise with my main responsibilities - boss and big boss present and stayed silent. Poor time management / ignorance / passive aggression? Feel pity for her! 😡

Colleagues are saying I should draft a letter of apology and offer to compensate if I’m planning to stay in this company.

A little background on why they’re saying that. There was once a stain on the carpet of their previous office. The employees were made to fork out the bill for the cleaning.
