I've left every job soon once I see the toxic undercurrents, there are some jobs where I can deal with the toxic while waiting for a new job. But in one job the managers said that they were looking up patient records and personnel records when they wanted information about someone. This is illegal btw. In another job my boss was physically abusive...work is hard for everyone but when you're a minority woman, you see things that other people don't because the toxic people know you have no social or political power.

Oh my god those sound horrible! I’m sorry you had to go through that, good to get out before the toxicity starts.

I once left a job because I couldn't stand being micromanaged. I felt like I couldn't do my job without my boss peering over my shoulder and it made it so I didn't want to show up in the morning. I'd warn people to avoid micromanagers, but the problem is that you don't know you're dealing with one until it's too late.

Micromanaging is horrible, I don’t need someone checking in on me all the time I can do my job!

I liked my last job, just got a better one

That’s the dream!

Unsustainable work life balance

Yeah this is a big one for me.

I left my last job because I was ready for something new. I think it would be the same from my current job

Yeah I think I’m definitely in this boat, I’ve been lucky to avoid too much toxicity so I just move when I’m ready.

For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?

I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?
