Really ticked off the EM just asked me to ghost hours. We worked nights and weekend. I estimated 67 hours and that was being generous. I was told to charge 45 hours. Do I rock the boat and escalate?

Obviously, you should, we should always bill the right hours and telling you not to do the same is unethical

I once spent 60 hours on a firm initiative, was told to charge 40 (was naive enough to do so), and the manager completed 20. Then, the firm rolled out news that FIs won’t count for YE evaluation for anyone below SC. Not sure if it’s related, but I got to rant lol

Yes, please.

My old employer asked me if I wanted to come back to the company as a manager. The pay will likely be much better and the position holds more responsibility than I’ve had before, so overall it would be a step up. The issue is I left the company because of an abusive manager who constantly put me down and made me feel like I wasn’t doing anything right. If I come back I’d be working under her again. I’m torn because the opportunity is great but the stress was awful. Continued in comments…

So my VP at my previous company felt bad and refused to speak to me or attend my farewell after my resignation. His reason was that I somehow betrayed his trust as he had promoted me just last year (after keeping the position open for 4 months and letting me take additional work load after the previous SM left!). Does this make any sense? I mean where does this sense of entitlement or ownership over the employees come from? No wonder the company in question is kind of facing a literal exodus!
