Sorry to hear that. One day at a time is all I can say.

Really sorry to hear this. Especially knowing that leadership will be giving themselves a nice bonus at the end of the year for “steering the ship” through these challenging times.

I was promoted to manager in Jan but received an offer with a 35% salary increase and much cheaper health insurance outside the firm.

FYI my inflation increase was larger than my promotion increase and my student loan payments also were stopped since I’m no longer an SA. I think what is holding me back is my guilt for my immediate team but just want to check.

Employer is trying to force me (disabled using a walker and immunocompromised) to return to work at the office after WFH efficiently (covering 2 roles!) For 2 years. I actually can't even do my job from the office. Office isn't ADA compliant and my walker doesn't fit. Some employees aren't vaxxed and mask mandates are being removed. I've been fighting this order loudly. And now I have to meet with the CEO, HR and my supervisor. Wish I could leave, but I don't have a new job lined up.
