When I read back my IM conversations, I often find mistakes in my grammar. May be because I am more casual in chats. Is it a bad thing?

Nope, it’s a chat. Meant to be quick and casual. So long as the content appropriate, grammar / spelling aren’t as critical. At least when talking to your peer groups. Maybe different if talking to a partner

I would just double check before hitting send. Nothing wrong with having a few grammatical errors here and there but if it’s too frequent then I would say it’s not good

English is a complicated difficult language to speak, write, and communicate and most people have an 8th grade mastery of it.

Always give people the benefit of the doubt and try to listen to what they mean and not what they say.

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

Let’s talk about wrongful termination. The other day I was fired in the middle of the day without any warning.

So I called my PM to ask what was happening, and she said that she just got off the phone with the TM and said they were terminating my contract on the spot due to me speaking up about micromanaging. No explanation just kicked out. Advice?

Accenture Hello, this past December I applied to a Devops role at Accenture. I didn’t get the position but I looked on their website and noticed they have an software engineer apprenticeship. I emailed the recruiter about the apprenticeship but she didn’t get back to be. But after telling me I didn’t get the position she did say to wait six months to apply for another position. I really think I would be a good fit for the apprenticeship. What can anyone recommend? Can I possibly get a referral.
