I had a boss who was using false information to tear me apart and threatened to have me sent to work in production by tossing me out of the prototype shop. Come to find out I had a coworker back stabbing me to take my role. So i positioned my self to let him take my role, and watched him fail for the next six months. Then I out shined him on a new machine / process that was far above his head. The boss who had it out for me, then demoted the guy who caused the issue and left me be 100 percent. With in about 18 months both were out of the department for good.

I have an issue with a manager and it did not go over well. It was a lot of nonsense that led up to the disagreement. Going back I would have sorted out those little things beforehand, it came down to a private conversation afterwards where we were able to be civil and figure out how to move forward.

Thankfully none of my disagreements have been major and I've been able to stay on relatively good terms with my managers.

I can't say I've ever let disagreements get to the point where I'd call them major. Early on someone gave me good advice about choosing your battles. He also suggested I read Sun Tzu. So that's been my usual strategy, knowing that the greatest victories require no battle.

Just by making sure there is mutual respect

While we have had disagreements I don't think that any of them have been major persay. We are both passionate about what we do so of course sometimes we disagree about the best course of action but at the end of the day its not anything that deep.

Question about inclusion…. I’ve been teaching inclusion for 5 years so I’m still a newb, but a first year coworker of mine said she got points off on her observation because her kids were scattered in the classroom and she was having to move from kid to kid to assist. While I see the point of putting them together for convenience, I don’t agree with this at all! To me this is like singling them out by putting them all together instead of INCLUDED amongst peers. What do y’all think?

Anybody else noticed recruiters are only proactively reaching out about hybrid/on-site roles nowadays?

It's almost as if people don't want to be in offices anymore so that's why it's difficult for them to fill those roles.
Sidenote: recruiters, you can see on my LI profile that I'm remote. In the "What jobs are you interested in" field you can see I'm only interested in remote roles.
So, why are you reaching out to me about jobs in a city 3 hours away that's 100% onsite and w/out even a ReLo?

One of the team member has applied leaves for continuous 3 days this month. Later she applied for a 15 days leave saying a medical emergency. Both the leaves were rejected from her manager saying connect with HR. though she is on leave without PM leave approval and this is not even prior notice to the team.
Now'what and all would be the consequences she might face. Is there any chance of these things are being escalated? Please advise!
