One hour to prep. Use it. Get copies of what you need. If you have a work phone use an app to scrape contacts and content . Save your files. Prep a list of what you think should be in severance package . Ask to keep your work equipment (laptop etc) to help in job search

likehelpfulsmart

Record the conversation on your phone without letting it be known. You can listen back later as you will probably be a bit blurry as it happens . Ask for paper confirmation of any package and time for questions before you leave the building

My boss fired me because i ask for clarification on my employment right.

I got hired not long ago. I realise some of the employee benefits i was told (missing in the contract) contradict with what’s stated on the law. So i email the boss about it and ask for clarification. Immediately after the email i was fired.

Just want to make sure people know this and don’t apply jobs in this shady company- it is called UniQ Biotech, in Delta, BC, Canada

I've never worked on anything for TikTok and hope I never have to. TikTok is from hell.

I'm pretty sure TikTok is one of the main reasons we are constantly hearing about how much Gen Z struggles with mental health.
