Have you had to choose between your career and your safety? How is this acceptable?
A coworker and I have both received anonymous texts from someone saying they were a coworker and going as far as describing the clothes we are wearing and our general movements. The company is 80% male and they are mainly unconcerned. They claim not to be able to do anything since it is an unlisted number. I was advised to file a police report. None of my concerns about my safety were addressed or acknowledged.

File a police report and call an employment lawyer. Today. The lawyer can advise on whether there’s a way for you to take a paid leave of absence while this is addressed. I’m so sorry this is happening to you. It isn’t normal, and it isn’t acceptable.

Definitely file a police report, talk to an attorney, file a complaint with HR. Essentially/ lay the groundwork to sue in case you need to.

That number can likely be traced but it may take someone in law enforcement to do so.

I am going to disagree that the number can be chased even through law enforcement. It could be a temporary number or a google number.

Every time I speak to my director (at least twice a week), he works in how he is getting older into the conversation(humorously). For instance, he forgot something non-work related, said “sign of old age”. He recently told a story, said, this is how old people talk. He likes to come across as a grandfatherly figure, but I’m not sure what to say in these encounters. It is always an innocent, non work related context. Have you guys experienced this ? What is an appropriate response ?

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us. She starts work at 4:30am and leaves around 2:30pm, but she still expects us to stay until 6pm and work on the weekends! She gives us really long shifts and doesn't give us much time for breaks. And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?

Building out a new function at my company, top 15 bank in the US, and scheduled a 90 minute meeting last week for today. Invite included an agenda and a teams link to the document we would be reviewing.

What should I have done in that situation?

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?

⚠️Toxicity Alert ⚠️

My previous manager would track us by hours daily, made a fuss everytime anything stretched and guilt us for that and the unplanned leave too unless it was COVID. Hinted him a lot of time, this is problematic but apparently he considered it "standard practice for agile".

Now 8/10 teammates have switched within < 1 year of project start (6-7 months with him) which tbh had good work in our opinion and even team was fun to work with even though none of us ever met in person.
