Just had a positive performance review 2 weeks ago - got a (small) raise and extra week of vacation. My primary client just asked me off the business today. Going on paternity leave in 3 months. Odds that I’m about to get fired?

Odds that you’d have a lawsuit 💯

Agree with this. You aren’t getting fired. And if you do, lawyer up and sue.

Why does the client want you off? That may be the deciding factor

The good news is that your employer sees your performance and that you are doing well. Sometimes you can’t predict what the client is thinking or will do. I’ve been on both sides. Sometimes change is good for both parties. I hope that you get some reassurance internally about the change. But most importantly enjoy your paternity leave!

Hard to tell. But if you’ve haven’t already filed the paternity leave, do it now. That will keep you protected for a bit.

If I had to guess, it sounds like the agency likes you and the client had some issue. So you just don’t want to not be paid for while agencies are worried about a possible recession. If nothing else, that gives you time to figure it all out.

My remit quadrupled+ in a recent re-org with no increase in pay/promotion, my new director is new to the company and was zero help, and I was passed over for recent promotion during the comp cycle.

Now they have taken credit for the project I’ve been building over the past year+ without giving me props whatsoever to higher ups. What is the best plan of action here?

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.
