It is SO painful to have to write a SOW/prep for a pitch for business which doesn’t include you. So heartbreaking to spend your energy planning where you know you’ll ultimately lose your job. The worst crystal ball

How do you know that you're losing your job?

Because my boss told me I’m not able to stay on the project. I’m contract so a FT PM took over my job…. And then at another place I was helping with the RFP and my role isn’t part of the staffing plan.

Doesn’t include you! I’m sorry! I would still wait & make sure.

I’m sorry! Hope you’re ok!

Does the addition of “(level) II” make a difference to anybody? I am the only marketing communications specialist for a lead child-welfare nonprofit. We oversee four counties in two circuits. Director recently gave me add’l merit-based raise (after my annual raise, been here 14 months) & slight title change to Marketing Comm Specialist II. No plans to add a level 1 (would be lower) specialist but will add level 1 engagement specialist to team. Should I update resume/cards or is this confusing?

I have a new employee that started last Monday, unfortunately it’s not going to work out. Long story, but we’re fairly certain the individual is using Meth and appears to have started/restarted fairly recently. I work with physicians, so it’s a consensus. We have to terminate employment, but what ethical obligation do we have? Two young children at home and no spouse. This is weighing heavily on us.
