Make sure you don’t come across as difficult because then word may get around and people won’t want to work with you (especially assuming it’s your first couple years with the company)? Not saying it’s fair, but have seen it happen. Can you give some context on the situation?

like

Is the official stance that the company does not want to lose talent for people getting License A, or is it solely your managers opinion or you’re guessing that’s what the company thinks? If it’s the former GTFO the company, if it’s the latter then you can prob come up with a business case for it, or say you plan to take B after A.

Are you able to give us some more information about the situation?

License B is part of license A. In my opinion it is a joke and waste of time to just get B.

When do you have to decide by? I would scout out a new role and then have the convo so I’m ready to walk if they don’t stick to the original plan.

Are you responsible for giving performance feedback? Avoid giving personality based feedback. Examples include telling an Asian person they are too quiet/shy or telling a Black person they are agressive/abrasive. DO NOT DO THIS. It clearly represents bias in Performance Management. Performance feedback should be tied to business outcomes with clear examples of what the person does well + how they can improve.

What’s the best way to negotiate more money during a contract to FTE conversion? My manager and I had the conversion convo today and he said he’d like to convert me immediately and took the action item to do so. In terms of comp he said they should already have what I’m expecting but I don’t think I communicated any FTE number to my contracting company. In this job market with all the layoffs, should I count my blessings and take what I can get or is there wiggle room.

I was recently (in April) fired from a good nursing position that I was at for 5 years.

Is this something I should even consider? I miss my patients and some of my coworkers and the pay is better, but I don't feel like I would really be welcome to come back.
