I did the ultimate no-no today for HR and I feel absolutely horrible. And I have no idea why the words popped out of my mouth.
It's commission time and I saw a person that did well and I said "nice paycheck this week". There was one other person in the area that could hear.
Why oh why did I even open my mouth? I never talk about pay. Of course I went to upper management as soon as I got back but she had already complained. I apologized to management and I apologized to her. What more can I do?

You were trying to be supportive and encouraging. There was no malice. It was just a faux pas or mistake.

Hey, we’ve all had that moment where we say things we shouldn’t. Give yourself some grace. We have to watch everything we say and do as HR… we aren’t robots. You made a mistake and owned it. If I were your manager, I’d value that.

You work with some folds lol! you didn’t say anything bad

I don't understand why she would complain?

I am a contract employee that was just brought on a month ago. I have done well with onboarding and learning their tech. I have now been asked to design an architecture for an upcoming project, and document it all. Nothing at this company has been well documented before. I have a feeling they just planning to use my previous experience and then let me go since my pay is high. Is there a way I can safeguard against this?

I read a lot of posts here about difficult bosses, difficult clients, difficult partners, terrible briefs and terrible agencies. All that might be true. But it’s getting old.

The world is not going to get easier. So maybe we can help each other get better at dealing with it. Who had a win recently? How did you do it?
