If you have any sought of compulsion in life, don’t reveal it to your bosses at KPMG. They will exploit you to the core! Compulsions like a sick child or a parent or if you are an immigrant or if you are under debt. No matter how trivial the compulsion is.

I’m not sure compulsion is the right word when referencing a sick child or parent. Or if you are immigrant. None of these are compulsions.

Possibly, but it sort of muddles the point. I don’t know OP, but inability to communicate accurately would be a reason to not move forward or be critical of someone. If this is not OPs first language, they are likely far smarter than I am as I can’t speak any second language to the level that OP is speaking English. That being said, in a realistic world, communication is very important and if that’s a struggle that could be a reason, just as much as having a sick kid or parent.

Definitely, saw something like that in industry when my coworker became pregnant. Managers were talking badly about her because it was a big inconvenience for them. Your employer is not your friend. Don’t share too much of personal things.

I think that depends on your boss. Im very open with mine and they are very receptive and help me manage issues in my life and work. Even coming over to talk things over with me after work. Im sorry that it happend to you that way but I think its an isolated thing

Its not just the bosses.. its the coworkers too.. some of their policies are just policies on the paper.. personnels running the business have the final say!

Very true. One of the strongest managers I knew got skipped for promotion. They worked a lot and did a great job but they talked about their hobby a lot at work. I overheard leadership making fun of it.

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.

My school deliberately cut the number of classes that the specials teachers teach so that we could be building subs for quarantined and sick teachers (we are hybrid). So... I teach fewer classes (which is a relief because specials teachers teach way more classes than core teachers normally) but I'm pulled for most of my planning periods to babysit classes. I need my planning periods so I can redo my ENTIRE curriculum... and I just feel unappreciated, used, and nothing more than a babysitter.

I’ve been at a job a year and have what I would call a very toxic manager.

We are about to be at our busy season but I want to leave so bad. Should I wait until after the busy season or leave asap?
