I gave a month notice to my company. I offered to stay on contract until they got someone since I’m a team of 1. Since then I found out l my boss has been talking badly about me in the middle of the office to other employees. He said “she’s only doing this for money” & “this is not how you leave a job.” Now they want me to train a replacement w/ no experience w/ 1 week left how to buy digital media. Like I can teach years of experience overnight. Thoughts on confronting my boss & not training?

Hello! This is a long story, so I’ll try to keep it brief. I work for a very small supplement company - it’s myself (marketing/acct mgmt) my coworker (sales), and the owner. My coworker is struggling to complete his tasks/meet his goals, and the owner is coming to me about angry clients. I’m afraid my coworkers inability to complete his duties is somehow being reflected onto me? What’s the most tactful way to have a conversation, either with him or the owner? Can provide further detail if needed

Super frustrating when an experienced hire comes in as an A2 and is given an acting senior role when he knows nothing...

In small companies (especially startups), where HR may not really exist or the HR person may be the main violator, how do you deal with inappropriate behavior. If a person has been there a long time and is "too important to fire" how do you handle them?

At a startup I left because of this, my boss had been there since day 1. He was a nightmare. The last straw was when he took out his anger at a home issue on me and made fun of me for being upset. HR told me they couldn't do anything about him.

I was on a tour but where I asked a couple of older women sitting behind me to speak softly as it was 6:30 am in the morning. After that they kept saying loudly that i’m smelling and that i need to use deo and that i should keep my arm down. I confronted them later and they said respect your elders?? I want to ruin their vacation. What else can I do?
