Without disclosing too much information, there was an accidental data leakage incident and I feel as if I’m about to lose my job. My boss told me to “prepare” and there have been other signs. My question is, is there anything I should be doing? Drag things out for as long as I can? Put off training people they want me to train? What questions should I ask about severance/PTO/health insurance? Obv. I am applying to jobs, but unfortunately my current employer required us to make our primary email on linked in our work email, so it’s a bit difficult. Advice??

Hello all, so I have an interesting story? Well… I work for a company and I finally made it to a year there. Woohoo, whatever. But here’s the thing, I have not been assigned a single job assignment this entire year. If I do get an assignment, it’s often with little to no instruction and if I were to ask for assistance I am never offered it. I got something assigned today for the first time in a literal year and of course had no idea what to do, I expressed this to a manager of mine and got no response. This particular assignment was due at end of day.. I just never completed it and my manager didn’t even reply to the message I sent with my concerns. I’m not sure what to do at this point, it sounds like a dream not having work at work but there’s…

I’m a foster care worker in Michigan (I’ve been at my job for 4 months now) and I have 14 cases I work with. Recently, someone at my job left, and I was transferred one of her cases that had one child, bringing me from 13 to 14 cases. I was told by my supervisor that I now have a full caseload and that I would be getting a raise. Turns out, I’m only getting a $100 check. Is this normal? The new case is closing soon due to the bio parent being AWOL for so long, but I’ve never heard of someone only getting one $100 check as a “raise”.

My employer talked to me last night and saud to me that I am really professional with work, and seem trustworthy so they decided to give me this admin task of handling the password software. I work at a department that mainly focuses on designing. I feel the task is being passed on to me is more of admin stuff, and it will be a burden for me when things get busy. I said No, and was told that they will still consider giving this to me. Help. Pls. How should i respond?

I’ve worked at this job for 2.5 years. They give raises once a year and i’ve only gotten one raise the entire time working, of .75 cents. We got a new general manager about a month after my last review. When i got this first raise, I was told that considering how hard i work i would be put up again for another raise in 6 months. Before my manager switched locations i asked her if she could make a note for the new manager so that i would be up for review even with her gone , considering she’s making an acceptation that normally isn’t made i wanted to be sure there was no miscommunication. this is my money that we’re talking about and i already make not even enough to live alone. (i live in dc and make a little over $15 an hour) Raises are this month,…
