Today someone quit and just straight up walked out of the office. Like something you'd see in a movie. My jaw is still open. You ever seen this happen?

Okay so boom… I worked for this nonprofit years ago. A guy quit after a week. He literally walked in one day, to grab something he left at the office, and said.. “aight y’all I’m out. It’s been real!” And never came back. The bosses called him and he never answered them.

She didn't want to get on the phone which was the main job requirement aside from emails. It was crazy!

That’s moronic. Did she not look at the job description when she applied

I’ve done this. Often it’s due to being placed on a PIP. You don’t owe an employer a two week notice if they go as far to putting you on a PIP. No longer put up with nonsense and abuse from terrible managers

Yes! Glad he did. Partners were super toxic and affecting his mental health.

Yes! A partner at my firm did that and took his book of business. It was wild

I’ve done this quite a few times… Mostly for personal reasons I’ve had to sort out and I don’t really know anywhere I want to settle although I do have the intentions to do so now… I can’t guarantee anything because I don’t like to assume I can know my own future… Best thing to do is try your best until you can no longer take anymore (my old strategy) but my new strategy is to push past limits and keep going until they don’t need you anymore hahaha (we’re always learning) and I hope I have more to add to this soon

Lots of right wing hysteria about liberals trying to engineer equality of outcome to correct sexual/racial inequities (in higher ed, for example).

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.

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?
