My colleagues are bullying me for being gay. I thought that was against the law. Should I talk to a lawyer?

For any military, it's not against the law. But bring it up to your immediate supervisor or team lead and they should be able to help. If not, go up your chain of command until something is done. That's what we have training for is to avoid situations like that.

Thank you, I will bring it up and see if anything can be done

Go thru your chain of command first to find a solution

Will do, I hope this doesn't have to escalate too much I just want to be treated normal

Definitely use your chain of command and you EO reps. They are there to serve as your starting point for allegations such as this.

Thank you too, I'm glad people are so supportive and helpful here

Preparing to give notice to my current firm. Accepted an amazing opportunity to lateral at a more prestigious firm (better compensation, lower billables, and shorter commute).
I’m excited to make this jump, but it’s still bittersweet for me because the partners at my current firm are truly amazing and I have learned a lot from them over the past few years and will miss them a lot. Any insight on the best way to have this convo without burning bridges? Thanks!

I've been working at this company for about 3.5 weeks now. Its been great so far.

We have an org chart in our dashboard ATS/HRIS and so I clicked on my first day buddies name just for fun.

I was able to see her entire employee file..even her address. I was really freaked out and I went to another profile and the same thing happened, I was able to see this person's emergency contact. Is this fucking normal? Should I say something and will I get in trouble for looking at a colleagues file?

I posted this somewhere else before I remembered that I am in this bowl :) so, I changed jobs 6-7 months ago and I am realizing it is not a good fit. Leadership seem to not want to hear the truth so people tell them what they want to hear and if you don’t middle management gets pissed at you. I am seriously thinking about looking somewhere else. My question is how do you answer the “why are you looking to leave” question without bad mouthing your current company?
