What's something you've seen a manager fired for almost instantly?

At the beginning of COVID around March we had an employee who was at higher risk than typical and his doctor strongly advised him to self quarantine. One of our managers told him if he cares about his job he’ll be here in the morning. There were a few other issues with this manager so this wasn’t necessarily the entire reason but that termination came pretty quick.

Yes, I misread, meant it to be that the lawsuit was coming from the employee( not the manager).

He wasn’t a manager, but he wasn’t showing up for work fairly regularly, or was super late some days. We’re super flexible with work, but when he got behind we looked into it. Found out he had two FT jobs to support multiple addictions. When his wife showed up at work to yell at him about his infidelities (and starting taking things off this desk), we figured it was best he prioritize his health and not while he worked for us. Company was cool and gave him 3 months of insurance coverage to over counseling + outpatient care. He also stole 4 laptops.

I can see how they could get away with that. But 8 months - well played by them! Haha

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

Hi, received an offer from another Big4 in Amsterdam (currently working in Eastern Europe), but relocating, I’m concerned about potential layoffs in the coming period being the last to join the team.

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

Anyone struggling with imposter syndrome? When I worked for a very well known Fortune500 tech company I couldn't help but feel major imposter syndrome.

Everyday was a struggle and tried to keep myself small so no one would find out I was a "fraud." Looking back on it now, wiser and more experienced, I realized how detrimental feeling that way
