Stop questioning your coworker's deliverables/tasks in group emails and Slack channels BEFORE pinging them directly. Some of you throw others under the bus very quickly without knowing facts first.

Just accepted an offer. Would you recommend holding off on telling anyone on my team until I give notice? I just want to give them as much advance notice as possible so they can plan ahead

If you work at a FAANG company, have you experienced workplace discrimination?

There’s no reason you have to put up with a job you hate. I spent many years working in a toxic environment with a boss who gossiped and lead through fear. He wasn’t really much of a leader but basically a foreman. And he could make my existence miserable. I admit that it wasn’t easy to find another job but the bottom line is: trust your guts. If you feel something is wrong it’s because it probably is. Don’t second guess yourself. Look for options and and fight for your mental health.

Generally curious how many companies offer phone reimbursement? My last gig did not but the current one does.

Have you been fired before even starting your new job?

I signed for a new job two months ago and will start next month (3 mo notice period in Europe). They were very keen on getting me on-board ASAP before signing but since I signed the contract it has been silent from the new employee. I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.
