Just got let go and my manager said part of it was because I was looking for other jobs. I didn't look for other jobs at work, so I'm not sure how they could have known that unless a coworker snitched on me. Is it worth it to try and find out who or should I just leave it? Can't deny that I'm seriously pissed off about it.

You're right. Was pretty ticked off when I wrote this and I realize now there isn't anything I can do. Even if there was it wouldn't get me my job back so, onwards and upwards I guess. Lesson learned.

Did you have your "Open to Work" LinkedIn badge on public? If not I've heard some recuiters/HR will reach out to your employer if you've been interviewed or considered for a position. I don't know if that's legal but either delete the OtW badge or have it set so only recuiters can see it

Were you using your work email address or your work computer to search? If your state is an "at will" state, there is nothing that you can do. However this is not a good cause for dismissal especially if the employee manual does not specifically say you're not allowed to search for other jobs while you are employed. I am sure your employee manual does not say that. I would file for unemployment and begin searching for your next position. Good Luck!

Have you ever dealt with a colleague that believes in extremely (in my opinion) outdated or even just false claims and treats them as scientific facts? I work with several older men but one of them practices "provocative therapy" as in you just play the devil's advocate with your patient and side with the negative half of their thinking. In theory I could see this working situationally, but as a whole philosophy regardless of the patient's issue I think it's ridiculous.

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

Monday Morning rumination: unsolicited advise is criticism.

Much to reflect on with this topic. Last week I was told in a 1:1 with a new contact that I was “too direct”. After some time chewing on the conversation I was struggling to place the emotions I was feeling. Turns out I was feeling guilty and shame for being me, for taking up space. Lesson of the week: unsolicited advice is a criticism of you, a micro aggression of who you are, and being “too much”. What would you do??

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us.

And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?
