We have no friends in the workplace only colleagues, so don’t take something like that personal. Just record it and when you have enough go to HR

I didn’t mean to offend you, my comment comes decades of experience working mid level management in global corporations. I’d say 2/3s to 3/4s of all managers are good managers trying to do right by company and their staff. But - there are managers and colleagues that are vicious. When you notice that you can’t get along with someone, manager or colleague the most effective strategy is to make a career move. Once they made you a target… from their perspective the game is on.
You need to focus on your career and move on.

Love this. I used to have a policy you fly I buy and my staff loved it and went almost every day to get several of us coffees. I didn't care, never clocked how long they were gone. Work gets done.

Life is too short to stress.

Once had a manager who didn't really like me, the senior, or the junior on the team but we all came to the office to work on the client anyways. I decided to sit with a coworker who happened to be working under him for another client and she had the rest of her team sitting there. Said manager acknowledged I was sitting there and would check in about work whenever he did with his other team. Later in the day he comes out and says he's going to Starbucks. Asks his other team one by one what they want and then turns to me saying "Everything still going well on your end, right? I'll be back in a bit" and walked off. I felt very slighted since he was working on both clients that day so I assumed he'd at least have asked me out of professional courtesy since I was there

I love my SO but get unsure....they just went on a friends trip and came back and randomly said going on another one in two weeks. I said I wanted to spend time together so they came back next morning and said let's go away just us instead, which is awesome and I am happy BUT is it a red flag? They used to always be all about spending time together and now seems like I have to remind them to put us first in the past month. We both work hard and have kids so life is more complicated. Vent over.

So, some of my co-workers simply said that they want to go ahead and start something or start looking elsewhere (career change) because they don't know how much it will last at the pace we are going in regards to case intake and pay out. Should I start panicking or simply start looking elsewhere? They even they even told me if I was looking elsewhere or planned on doing so also. I found it weird in a way.
