My coach just told me he’s leaving the firm when I tried to schedule a meeting. I thought he must’ve found a better position but he sent me a second email saying he’s getting forced out and that he will explain everything next week. Kind of weird. Why would he tell me that and what is there to explain to me, a staff 2? I don’t think I’m in trouble because I emailed the partner and she said she’ll get back to me on Monday regarding a new coach arrangement. Is it weird or am I overthinking it?

Yes you’re overthinking it

Yeah. He’s probably pissed and it has nothing to do with you. I have pretty bad anxiety so I get where you’re coming from but it should be okay.

Yeah he overshared. People don’t always act rationally when they’re in emotional states

Not that weird he's probably just pissed and so he isn't going to tell you the typical coach BS anymore. You're fine and this will have minimal impact on you.

He’s just wanting to talk to a friendly face about a situation that is really upsetting to him. He’s looking at you as a friend and not as a staff/coachee.

My guess is that he felt bad about the way you found out (that it took you reaching out to him to schedule a meeting for him to tell you) so he felt like he’d explain why. Maybe it didn’t come out in the best or clearest way

Edit: but yes, you’re definitely overthinking this

Same exact situation, my coach pulled me aside and told the details (doubt they did that with all the coaches), we had good relationships, and still keep in touch. So don’t see anything weird, and I don’t understand how it has something to do with you OP. If the person is getting forced out, he is probably stressed, busy looking for a new job, which is not easy during pandemic, and as someone mentioned has no time for kool-aid.

Was not let go, but forced out - was told there was no room to make a partner. I have seen it many times.

Why would you email the partner? Chill. This obviously isn’t about you. As someone above said perfect time to get a filter free insight into the politics of your office to help you out in the future. Also, since you are going to get a new coach maybe do some thinking about who you want it to be and ask for it. People get ahead by having a coach/RL who has influence.

The email between me and the partner had nothing to do with my coach. It was about getting a new one because there is an evaluation due this week.

Show them some compassion. You seem so self centered focusing only on yourself when someone just told you they got laid off.

Since iOS 14 changes, Facebook ads isn't the same anymore. Why?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.
