I was in the same situation at one point. Sometimes you find yourself in an unworkable situation and it’s best to leave for your sanity. It will be awkward but it can be the best move. And in the near future it will all be just water under the bridge. Don’t stress any more about it. I’m sure you’ve been distressed enough about it. Good luck!

Better now than a year from now. And I mean better for everyone, not just you.

Also who cares if they hate you. Sometimes new jobs don’t work out and that’s ok. You don’t even need to include it on your résumé.

Are you sure you want to go back to your old role? What’s drawing you back there?

What about looking for something else entirely that’s a better fit?

Ok that’s fair. Just make sure it’s what you want and not just because it was familiar and comfortable. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Need way more context before deciding whether this is a smart or rash move. Why are you leaving? What are you going back to? Why did you leave your first job in the first place? How big/small/credible are both agencies and which clients/experience are you choosing between? Etc etc

So when you left your last agency, were you convinced at the time that this new current one would provide better experience? What led you to believe that the current one would be better than the opportunities you had at your last one? Just need to make sure that you have a fair and reasonable story to tell when you will eventually have to take someone through your work history in the future

So I think I definitely have a crush on a manager in my group. We don’t work together but we’re good friends at work. Hes newly single out of a serious relationship so I’m hesitant about that.

So embarrassed. I literally had one job to do today which was to schedule a client and give and take her paperwork when she came in. Totally called her by the wrong name today AND gave her the wrong paperwork. She was really nice about it but I feel like my boss was disappointed and I'm disappointed in myself. I don't want her to think I won't be able to keep clients straight when I start doing supervised sessions.

Paraphrasing a partner during practice group call:

I was floored by this (ignoring that maybe looters were interested in resale value, perhaps). Such clear racism. None of the other partners even attempted to call this partner out. Call went silent for moment before another partner changed subject. Nobody in practice group AA.

Ashamed, I didn’t speak. Concerned for my employment in these tkmes

I’m leaving employment litigation.

Most of these disputes are so petty and almost every case is about making up makeshift reasons for what would otherwise be wrongful termination.

You see people being fired where the actual reason is for instance hooking up with the CEO’s young female crush, or speaking up about issues in the workplace.

Even the most innocuous detail can be turned against an employee. Eating lunch at your desk can e.g. easily be labelled as being ‘uncooperative’.
