Friend was an entry level Research Assistant at a biotech startup, who just got fired for making a rookie mistake. Company was completely toxic, and often took verbal abuse from his manager.

He’s extremely anxious that he won’t be able to find another job due to being fired. Any advice you guys could give him? Will it be difficult to find his next job? Thanks 🐠

What was the mistake?

I’m sure he’ll be fine. It’d help if he had someone at the company on his side or could vouch for him in some way but if it’s early in his career, it’s easier to bounce back from a mistake like that

Does he have another person at that company who can serve as a reference - he doesn’t need his boss to serve as the reference. I would love to know the name of the startup if you feel you can share. I have found that these startups are especially toxic bc the people running them have little to no experience

I’m at a new agency and there are a couple of things about the culture I’m really struggling with. 1) Nobody has cameras on. Ever. I understand not having them on occasionally. But this is the norm1 large and small meetings. 2) No small talk. I understand we are all busy but there’s absolutely no “how was your weekend” discussion. What can I do about this? I’ve been at two agencies and never experienced this. I know I can’t ask people to turn on cameras but I try and set an example myself.

My boss fired me because i ask for clarification on my employment right.

I got hired not long ago. I realise some of the employee benefits i was told (missing in the contract) contradict with what’s stated on the law. So i email the boss about it and ask for clarification. Immediately after the email i was fired.

Just want to make sure people know this and don’t apply jobs in this shady company- it is called UniQ Biotech, in Delta, BC, Canada
