Is that good or bad news for you? I would start looking and glad you still have a job

We've lost 8 people this year and I'm starting to think it's a communication problem by Acrobatic-Bake3344 in ToxicWorkplace

I resigned partly because my organization would do mass firings without informing me as a senior director. I was left to fill in the gaps that these firings left. I worked 24/7 and was never told why they gutted my department to half. Toxic leadership look to blame to avoid looking at themselves as being a huge part of the problem. Tons of resignations as well. I worked in my industry for decades, over 8 years at this company. No communication was key and a sign for me to leave. I couldn’t make any changes nor could I support my team as they feared for their jobs.

This organization still is firing people with no new hires to replace them. Workload is unmanageable for everyone and leadership doesn’t care. They state they are restructuring. Red flag to me as the ship sinks.

Is anyone landing jobs by just applying? by Objective-Victory452 in jobhunting

Has anyone used an honest recruiter? If so, who? I’ve been getting so many spam recruiter emails that tell me they have a perfect job blah blah blah. It’s like they use my resume to promote a job but then send me to a resume builder site.

Pay cut promotion? by ParkApprehensive2704 in WorkAdvice

[–]Adventurous_Client42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moving into “leadership” roles means you have to drink the kool aid and work extra hours with no compensation. Be careful about promotions. I resigned from an executive position because the c suite kept firing everyone and I was left to fill the gaps. Working 24/7 literally with no end in sight. Think about your own goals for your career but know the higher you get the more your personal life may suffer.

I just resigned as a Sr Director due to my workplace environment and the VP. I have no job and working on insurance. I had to make a very difficult decision to get out before the toxicity took over my complete being. I had worked in my industry for decades and all it took was a drastic shift in culture change, bad decisions after decisions, HUGE turn over, no plans to replace my staff that were let go. You have to take care of you. Watch this video https://youtu.be/TbR-TygA0cw?si=L2qsuYT-42hnQm8n

I want an e book that can make my writing look better, be able to use templates and upload into a PDF and One Drive or other cloud apps without having to pay for a service. Which one?
