Last week- found out my boss, and our firm owner, has stolen from clients by adding expenses we didn’t spend.
Today- boss opens firm despite corona positive employee while the rest of us are waiting on our results. Told me to learn how to do his secretarial work.
What do I do? I can’t quit without another job and I have only been here 19 months. First job I was only at for 9 months so I’m scared to apply to new places.

19 months is a long time, you’re fine to leave. Start actively looking for a new job ASAP and jump ship as soon as possible. This sounds like a terrible environment, I’m sorry you’re going through this.

Also, nobody is going to think twice about weirdness on your resume in 2020, just like nobody batted an eye at gaps or short gigs on resumes in 2008 to 2010

Thank you for that!

Well I hate to be the one to point this out but if you are aware of client fraud and you haven’t reported it you are part of the problem.

Agree- you have a reasonable amount of time to report. But get out as quickly as you can, even if it means being unemployed for awhile. You don’t want it coming back on you

Def get out of there asap! You don’t wanna be associated with those kinds ethical issues especially early on in your career.

I just found out that I am no longer eligible for any of the income driven repayment plans and my monthly federal loan payment is increasing to $1400 a month and will increase on a yearly basis up to $2400. That is my cheapest option. However, if I refinance with a private lender to a lower interest rate, it will be $2k a month for 15 years and I’ll save like $120k in interest over the life of the loan. Has anyone refinanced their fed loans with a private lender? Should I do it?
