I made the decision to move out of state because where I currently live has become unaffordable. I’m telling my job in a few days and trying to mentally prepare for myself. I’m going to ask to go remote but I already know the answer is no. This company has been referring to me as a manager for the past 6 months, but I do not have the official manager title or pay. I’ve also been working on a huge project, but I’m letting them know I’m leaving after the project is finished. The last manager that left with a notice was shunned and the CEO threw a fit. I know nobody at the company will see this coming. *Before anyone asks, I’m extremely grateful to have a husband who can support both of us while I’m looking for a new job, so I’ll be able to move regardless of…

[lawyers have been contacted] My partner asked for FMLA leave for burnout at the beginning of February which was given to others at their org. They were granted the 3 weeks they requested. In the same meeting they were told that their position had run out of funding and that they would not have a job when they came back from leave. They then got a severance agreement that read like an NDA and is only 1/2 months pay after being at this org for 3 years.

On top of the legal logistics it’s a lot to handle emotionally and wondering if anyone had some…

I work in IT and in 2020, my company was bought out and the new manager wanted a 1-on-1 to discuss my salary. He stated a general rule, they push a 3% living wage increase yearly but they noticed my salary was lower than the industry average for my area. They bumped me to a near 6% increase. I was pleasently surprised and continued my work. 11 months later I found a near idententical job at a non-profit I love volunteering for. It was a slight pay drop. I was very excited about the opportunity to work in my field helping support this organization. The job I left was a great job, I was challenged to learn, and my coworkers were decent humans. I left excited about the new work and worked for them for 2 years when my wife and I decided I had done my part. I have…

Spent the rest of my shift crying cause I'm just an autistic dummy who can barely communicate with people I just wanted to know if I was getting less than them 🙁 I ended up turning in my resignation cause I can't do it anymore This was a service job, and we both work the same job for context.
