What would you do if your manager keeps lashing out at you and always apologizing later?
The Director tells me to bare with him because he suffers from PTSD from active duty. I think the company doesn’t want to let him go to be carefully legally but I can’t take it anymore.
I’ve saved two emails of his apologies and asked for a project transfer. Nothing

PTSD deserves help and support.

It does not excuse inappropriate workplace behavior. You have no obligation to be this person’s therapeutic punching bag.

Reach out to HR. The director has cited a protected employment class. You need to involve the people who are trained in appropriate policies around such matters.

For example, I went outside of our account for a stretch role and had walked through the logic of that decision (the role is on a high visibility project that could lead to more work, it’s a role meant for someone two career levels above mine

I’m new to this startup and was leading a cross functional project involving several other product teams with dependencies. When we got near the end with E2E testing, I realized that none of the product teams really do QA: no test scripts, not logs of dev unit testing, no documentation of testing cycles – there devs asked “what do we do about edge cases?” I raised this to my boss (since I don’t manage those other teams) and he said I’m creating unnecessary stress for the teams. Is he right?

Hello,

I’m overwhelmed by the many suggestions online and would prefer to get a suggestion directly from professionals.

Hi everybody! 😊
I've been working as a Junior Analog Design Engineer for a year and half.
I received a proposal for a Senior Analog Designer role from Bosch in the same city where I am currently working.
Should I wait and build up a few more years of experience before accepting a Senior role or should I jump in and work to fill the gap?
Next year, there will be an important deadline for the project I'm working on and my resignation could be critical for the team, how would you deal with it?
