Not super shocking. They need to ensure continuity after you leave.

I expected it a day or two prior to my departure; not a week and a half. Or, if that was needed, then include me in the support ticket so I’m not blindsided when an outside partner calls me to say, “um, I guess your boss is getting your email now, I got their out of office when emailing you.”
I provided a months notice, am meeting weekly with said boss to make sure things are transitioning and completed, and was asked to be a contractor after my departure to wrap up budget planning for next fiscal year.
But you have such minimal trust in me you need to secretly monitor my email? Cool, I get exactly where I stand with them now.
I’m the head of finance in a mid-sized nonprofit; not the CFO of a Fortune 500; so, this lack of empathy feels just gross.
I went from feeling guilty about leaving to elated…which, honestly, just makes me sad.

Hi Fishes,
I have involved myself into an argument with my lead. She is a very toxic perion who has a right hand in our team and that person is also toxic. So, we had a bad argument on Friday. I didn't back down/slow down because I was right at my place. She even complaint this to her lead. I later had to apologise to her and she also apologised. I'm still afraid.
Need you advice here.

Completely and totally miserable at my firm and just need a space to vent because my friends are tired of hearing about it. I wish the worst part about it was the amount of work, rather than the completely toxic culture, lack of appreciation, arbitrary and back/breaking deadlines, lack of mentorship/feedback/training, and the fact that the associates act like they don’t even know each other. I cry every day and constantly am made to feel stupid for not understanding the highly technical (cont.)
