Ask them how I get that job. Honestly though, that doesn’t even surprise me. It’s like at a certain level job titles are meaningless to the words they have in them. They just manage and supervise the actual people that do that IT, but who knows for sure.

Like they don't personally handle any IT matters, or they straight up don't even oversee that side of things? The former makes sense, the incentive to go higher up is to do less work but it'd probably just want to ask more questions if it's the latter.

My boss in my creative agency threatened to fire me because I, a male, came into work with my nails painted.

My company cut staff to 4 days/wk to save funds. I was getting requests from coworkers for docs needed urgently on our day off (fridays). I would oblige them. But then, I learned that those same coworkers had been put back to 5 days because they were deemed “essential“. I felt foolish and decided to stop working on fridays. One EVP (not the GC) in particular has been aggressively texting/calling me on fridays. How Do I tactfully respond? My out-of-office email is not enough of a hint...

What you should do when dealing with a very toxic worker that keep on sending passive aggressive messages to you as well as in group chat and email.
Things like when you answer his question he respond: I know that
Or when he keeps on saying my change requests were just minor in group meeting but actually not.
And keep on saying how hard he works when he clearly wasn’t and already underperformed compared to an intern level.

How to not let this toxic co-worker not poison me any further?
