Has anyone here ever had to deal with working for a nightmare partner? One of the two partners at our small firm is the WORST. He makes racist jokes, inappropriate comments about clients, and makes me generally uncomfortable. His wife is our HR department, so I can't go there. Any advice?

He owns the place so all you can do is get out. And maybe be honest about why after you’ve got another job lined up.

Honestly, if the boss is the owner and wife is HR there’s no point in telling them. Just leave, and if anyone ever asks you what you thought about working there - then you can be honest

You can’t and won’t change anything if you speak up. All you can do is finding another job.

Yeah I've been there. It's so hard to deal with when it's a small place. I eventually ended up quitting on the spot.

No and that sounds miserable. If you do SALT and want to talk about opportunities at Deloitte, let me know!

I have a wee crush on one of the partners in my firm and I thought he liked me too, but neither of us did anything about it (which is entirely appropriate). That was all pre-Rona. Now I’m leaving the firm and pursuing another opportunity and staying in the same city. Since he’ll no longer be my boss, is there a way to find out if my feeling was correct? How should I go about this? (Especially given Rona?)
