🤔 Do you feel comfortable saying no or setting boundaries at work, or does that feel like something you can't or shouldn't do?

If you do not set boundaries early, companies will always take advantage of you. Their 100% is your 50%,ideally your 25%.

I had no problems saying No to illegally dumping hazmat down the drain or shipping such things without declaring them as hazmat when our new owners kept trying to get me to do so.

I'm sure that after I laughed at his face when something he shipped after I refused to send undeclared got caught and returned. I mocked him in front of everyone, literally capering and pointing at him and singing "I told ya so! I told ya so! Nonny-Nonny-Boo-Boo!!"

10 days later I was unemployed.

30 years on that job and new owners can't handle proper safety and other regulations? I'd do it again, even knowing it would get me fired.

I can't work for such people. At least not if I don't get to mock them when I warned them and they ignored me! Why have Experts if you ignore their advice in such things?

Looking for some fellow UK PM thoughts, please!

Work in Tech in the UK. Appraisals have started, everyone is being given a 5% raise, base, due to inflation. I'd been told I would be getting more than that to then be told it was < 2% more. Am I wrong to feel ungrateful?

For context, I've seen recruiters post about PM's with similar YoE asking for > £60k and I'm on less than 75% of that after this 'rise'. I have ~4YoE and been in this role about 18months. Business is not yet making a profit.

Tried this Santorini retailing for $40. Very concentrated but can’t say I was blown away by it. Volcanic terroir dominates almost to the point of obscurity, and it had strong lemon notes, hints of quince, and sea salt. It clashed with Mexican food (hey I knew that beforehand but didn’t think it would clash THAT bad, and usually pair Mexican with Riesling or Gewürztraminer) but I’m going to Greece soon and wanted to drink Greek wine. I drank half at a BYOB, took the bottle home(cont’d)

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?
