Sometimes people want to add after they leave the job

I make an effort to add my manager and their manager early on. When someone requests, I accept. Otherwise, I add everyone else I know after I leave the job.

Yes, add everyone and say hello once in a while. You never know when they may be helpful to you or the other way around

I try to keep up with adding people on LinkedIn, and I usually add coworkers on LinkedIn to keep up with them and whatnot

Never do that..

Despite people here thinking you are outrages for not adding current coworkers. I have to agree with you that there are jealousy people around. Maybe observe them for a bit before connecting would be helpful

Yes? I find it weird when people don’t add me back

like

Likewise! I tend to add people after some time in the team or before I resign. I don’t understand why people do not want to connect back

Yes, I generally add someone as soon as I meet them for the first time. Makes it less awkward too if they’ve seen I’ve been stalking their profile before/after meeting lol

like

Definitely.

Would love to get their recommendations too

I just finished a big jury trial with a senior partner (SP). There were co-parties w/separate counsel. SP mentally checked out, to the point that co-counsel was asking what SP was doing/if SP was okay. I ended up handling most everything. SP did a few parts but went rogue and did things that were offensive/risky/bad for client. It became clear that SP is not performing like SP used to and may be a liability. Do I tell someone at my firm? Don’t want to offend SP or cause drama, but I’m concerned.

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us. She starts work at 4:30am and leaves around 2:30pm, but she still expects us to stay until 6pm and work on the weekends! She gives us really long shifts and doesn't give us much time for breaks. And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?

I'm feeling a lot of anger towards my manager (now he's acting normal but there were moments where he was condescending/dismissive/mocked my and others work/arrogant/said stuff was "wrong" constantly/belittling the difficulty of tasks etc. in the past project).
Maybe it is "standard chewing out" but it bothered me a lot. So much that I find myself still getting all fired up inside thinking about it...
Idk how to let go of this :/ Thoughts?

Six months ago a financial conglomerate offered me a position. The pay and benefits were really good so I took it. Now, I’ve realised this company is dangerously toxic so I deeply regret leaving the firm.

Past week my former manager asked me if I would have any interest in coming back so I said yes. Then she said she would have some conversations to test if it’s alright to bring me back in.

It’s been a week since we talked. Is it okay to reach out and ask for any updates?
