Need more info. What kinds of action? How long has this been happening? How many people has it happened to?

HR might already recognize this pattern. They also might have their hands tied.

Everyone is afraid to speak up out of fear of becoming the next target. Advice?

Support your coworkers by going to their bosses when appropriate and telling them what an awesome job they did working with you (be honest, don’t blow smoke). Don’t include the shitty boss obviously, but if other managers hear that their people are doing well it’ll make the shit boss seem weird and off-base when they start making unfounded complaints.

Agree with above about recording everything, but this might help the non-HR folks (HR is useless) who have influence realize this boss is the problem.

Looking for some advice! I am currently employed as a Project Coordinator. I am looking into ways to to advance my skill sets and move forward in my career. Thoughts/recommendations on a Scrum Master certification? Anyone know of remote entry level jobs open in this field? TIA

I have been a PM at my company for 2 years now, with a years prior experience as associate PM. I got promoted before my certification, but was told if I did not get a PMP or ACP I would get my promotion taken away.
Received the ACP and have not seen a raise. Now we have a girl that is getting a 15k raise and going straight from Project coordinator to PM (with one year experience) and no certification. She will now be 5k less than me. If she gets CaPM she gets a 5k raise. Wong to feel slighted?

Any recommended resources for a mid-level lit associate looking to develop some skills in health care transactional work? I'm primarily a med-mal attorney and several clients have small opportunities on the MA side that I'd like to be able to assist with. The firm does not currently have a specific transactional healthcare practice group so I'd need to go out of the firm for mentorship in this area. For now, I'm just looking for good basic foundational resources.

Appreciate it!

I left my job without having anything else lined up otherwise I would have had a mental breakdown. I’m not even in that great of a financial place, but it was my job or my sanity.
