Coworker demanded to see my texts.

Full story, a coworker resigned and had asked me not to say anything. So, I didn't. When asked if I did know, I said no and got called a liar. Then she starts literally screaming at me to unlock my phone and show her my texts with that coworker. I said no. Then she goes to the boss and gives him her 'reason' for screaming at me. The discussion I had with my boss was him saying I can't play the victim, and why don't I just show her my texts. I said no again. I also warned him that if I was screamed at like that again, I would quit.

Manager won’t approve PTO because I want to extend my holiday weekends

I’ll preface this by saying I work for a bank. I used to be a teller, but now I work in the back office for almost a year. My current manager used to be a branch manager and joined the back office team after me. In the branches they super limit what days you can take off. Which makes sense when trying to coordinate a group of 20 people. But my department is very small we only have 7 people and as long as at least 1-2 people are in it’s good. I used to be under the VP of my department. She left late last year. Then I moved under the AVP, until a couple of weeks ago when they asked me if I would be okay going under my current manager who runs a subset department. I should have said no, but they were both on the meeting…

How Do You Actually Find and Hire a Lawyer?

Hi everyone, I’ve been a long-time lurker and participant in this subreddit, and I’ve noticed a common theme in many posts where people face unjust, discriminatory, or plainly illegal treatment at their workplaces. The go-to advice often is “get a lawyer,” which is solid advice. But, that leads me to a question that I think could use some collective wisdom: How does one actually go about finding and hiring a lawyer? I understand the importance of legal representation, especially when dealing with situations that could have significant implications for one’s career and well-being. However, the process of finding a lawyer, knowing what to look for in a good one, and understanding the steps to formally engage their services is not something everyone is familiar with. Could anyone here share their experiences or steps on: Starting the Search: Where do you begin? Are there reputable websites or resources that can help…
