Did they say that? The let go to make room part? Did you have positive performance reviews? Wrongful termination looks good if so.

Interesting, SAP 1!

Such BS. You’re on to bigger and better things now, but it is so painful to have this happen to you.

What the fuck. Get an attorney or contact EEOC.

Gross AF. Get that lawyer.

Power to you, boss lady. Fuck those guys. ❤️

The struggle is real. I’m sorry and I hope he implodes in a few months. Get revenge and land a better gig.
Which you will.

You’ll end up in a better place with people who appreciate you!

I’m really happy being gf&bf with my significant other - I’m 41 and I don’t want kids and I am not desperately seeking marriage. I’m really happy with just this & my job. I think it weirds his immigrant family out a lot. His mother apparently was very cold/rude to his ex-gf (I found this out bc I asked) and his sister is very cold and has a very judgmental attitude about women that don’t wanna be a wife & have kids (just like her.) I wanna avoid holidays at their place - any advice?

Im in a junior position, have excellent feedback, work hard. I make very little $. I had 2 job offers and told my current company I couldn’t afford to stay there. They immediately matched. 4 months later I followed up and the timing of the adjustment will now align with the timing cost of living increases for inflation which apparently I’m ineligible for. Should this exempt me from a cost of living increase due the adjusted salary 5 months after we agreed to this?
