Ugh, today I had to argue that I notified an employee of a change at work. After being employed for almost a decade with this company I feel appalled by this.

Best part is the one who tried to write an incident report on my "negligence" was the same one I reported the change to and stated in writing she has no additional questions regarding the changes made. Smh... is this real life?! #reportthis

I always follow up on anything verbal in writing. First it’s a CYA move and second it can clear up any confusion regarding expectations.

Originally from Italy, I've been out to anyone at my former jobs in Europe without ever worrying about the reactions of my coworkers. Now I'm Asia and just started a new job, but one of my colleagues (also an expat) made a very weird statement about gay people having more chances of developing cancers (?!?!?), so I feel a bit skeptical about talking about my private life... The problem is that anybody else seems to be so welcoming and open-minded, except for this one guy. Any advices?
