Month: March 2023

I get a new manager every few months. is this normal? the old managers I had are still with the company. I don't want to keep changing managers.

So I was accused in a very hush hush way of somehow hacking into my work system and changing my numbers to epic proportions by my 2 main managers. When I went to work then next day I had coincidentally been invited to a quarterly open opinion type meeting where floor employees are invited to speak about things that are going on that we may want to discuss in a very informal setting. There were about 30 people there from all different departments. I sat next to an hr lady and, while I didn't participate much, I did say a few things.

So I was interviewed for a data scientist position (in Poland), a not so big company, and a biotechnology related project. First meeting went ok with the Boss, I have all necessary skills, education etc. So we planned another, technical meeting in 4 days. I connected to the link, and no one showed up in 10 minutes, so I thought that they found someone better, no regrets. Then, the next day the Boss is writing to me saying that he cannot connect this day, so could we reschedule for the next day… I replied politely that the meeting was yesterday, and now I don't have time for the meeting because of other responsibilities in my current work and private life. So the Boss after few hours wrote to me again, that he might have mixed up some emails, so what is my availability for tomorrow 🙂 I don't want to…

Why did you leave / what made you leave? How’s life now compared to then? Would love to hear input and any thoughts!
