I am was threatened to be fired for making a spreadsheet to keep up with testing. Because I didn’t immediately let the CSO (Chief Science Officer) know. It was made at 6 PM the night before and I was finally able to speak to him about it at 1 pm the next day. I am a microbiology lab manager with two employees. I am having a hard time understanding how this is insubordinate.

That sounds really weird. Is your CSO trying to hide something?

Document everything. The only instance I’m aware of where a CSO might not want a saved, written record of something—especially testing—is one where there are issues of legal nature involved, whether that’s compliance, an existing or expected investigation, or a lawsuit where anything that exists in writing may be part of a discovery phase and used against them in court.

Also document everything in case you’re laid off and denied unemployment, or fired with or without a cause, even if you’re an at-will employee—you still have rights.

Start looking for another role. This is suspicious and an over reaction. Toxic af.

Possibly they looking for a reason to let you go. You may have a micromanager. I will would suggest to think about if you want to stay and work for the person and company.

We’re in such a vicious business. You give your heart & soul to an agency, a client, a brand. Then the wind changes & you’re laid off, reassigned, chewed up, spit out, on to the next. I’m tired.

Was laid off in Sept. Unfortunately we will be seeing many more coming. It's what happens in a recession. Unfortunately I now also have my age against me. Not in a mentally good place at the moment.

It’s so nice that every agency laying off people, have those left standing (and other agencies) trying to hustle jobs for their unemployed friends, but there are also a ton of people who were unemployed prior to Covid...so no severance, job hunting lot longer, and not earning income for longer time...hurting even MORE due to quarantine.

Assuming this causes a recession like in 2008, and many people get laid off, how long to take to find another similar paying job? I’m currently a strat manager in FS. Scared for job.
