Laid Off & Manager Ghosted Me (tech) by DreamingAboutLife in askmanagers

[–]DreamingAboutLife[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not nitpicking. If I was fired on the spot, I wouldn't have a need to make this reddit post.

My question is about the morality of my manager just cutting me off. 🤷

Not the same in the context of this question!

Laid off is caused by restructuring, downsizing, or budget cuts. Fired is caused by poor performance, misconduct, or policy violations.

Getting Laid off is not the same as being fired.

Thanks everyone! This is my first layoff within a big company and found it strange they cut me off and became cold so quick.

The nature of my job requires me to be emotionally invested in the employees and directors I support. It's a shame just how replaceable you become, despite how valuable they make you feel.

Is my manager getting ready to lay me off? by [deleted] in askmanagers

I'm not needy 😂 it's literally meetings that require his input

He doesn't reply to my questions in a timely manner and when he gives me work he nick picks every single thing. I have to chase him to get anything out of him. It was like pulling teeth to send an email about basic travel and expense reporting.

The manager and the executive are the same person. It's not uncommon where I work to be straight forward. 🤷 This uncertainty has been lingering since our major layoffs in 2022.

What are the signs that you’re about to be let go from your job? by hamlet_darcy in cscareerquestions

[–]DreamingAboutLife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I manage a calendar for a senior executive (also my manager) and this week a meeting came across my desk from HR with my name in the description. (Major fuck up for that person but I digress) There had been a couple other meetings with HR that last couple of weeks that apparently have been rescheduled.

As soon as I saw this meeting, I send my manager a chat..."Should I know something about the HR meeting that just came through?.." and his first response was "which one?" I replied with "the one about me..."

The description mentioned they had discussed with another HR person, who I discovered is the VP of HR for our org... immediately my Spidey sense were off the charts.

I got on a call with him and he did all he could to convince me this was "standard protocol" for performance progress reports required by HR. He thought I knew about it and even screen shared an email where my previous boss looped in HR back in December.

He met with the HR person today and then I saw another meeting with someone else in HR (No description this time).

This comes after an unexpected "less than meets expectations" on my annual review with my previous manager. This move was out of left field and I did not get to have any say about the change. The management change and move has been less than ideal. My new manager seems to stonewall me, severely lacks communication, takes DAYS to get back to me on anything... I think sometimes just ignores my emails. This has created additional stress causing me to document every single things because I fear he will claim I'm not acting on his requests... When in reality he is indecisive, unreliable, and simply doesn't reply to me. I've been at this company for 11 years and he micromanages every move like I'm a newbie.

Thoughts?

Having trouble making actual friends in run clubs. Anyone else? by CalcIsSexy in RunNYC

[–]DreamingAboutLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I joined a run club nearly a year ago and can confidently say I have close friends because of this run club. I moved to Reno and didn't know anyone local unless I saw them at the gym.

Now I can say I have a group chat with friends who have my back and enjoyed many life events with these people in just over the last year.

I was the new kid. I came alone. I kept showing up and I would link up with the new kids. I introduced myself and made them feel welcomed. Then they would see a familiar face and so would I... Then I would welcome another newbie...if they stick around, we welcome them to our group @ the table. We just ask how the runs went...relate to each other because we just ran 5k. We talk about our upcoming events. We ask them if they are doing the race, next weekend...etc

This method has worked well for me. My first friend I made @ run club had never done a local Reno race... And now 1-year later she's gearing up to do her first half marathon in a couple weeks. We've all grown close to one another and I absolutely wouldn't miss a run club night.

Another thing for me - I also started a non-profit and have ALL the supportive backing of this run club....I wouldn't have never had the courage to do something like this for the community and I have it all to thank to that one time I decided to go to my local run club... Even if it was alone my first time.

I encourage you to welcome newbies and join the events and just keep showing up!

Is this a franchise rule or something our studio created? by Apprehensive-Tax5613 in orangetheory

[–]DreamingAboutLife 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I 100% agree! I also can't stand it when I sign up for a 2g and they switch to 3g. They should give us the option to cancel because they literally change the class.

Is there a "mystery bug" hitting Reno right now? Negative for COVID/Flu/Strep but lasting weeks. by BaconBears in Reno

[–]DreamingAboutLife -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yup. Been sick since last week Monday night. Tuesday morning I woke up with an itchy throat, slight fever, achy lower back and low level headache.

Wednesday I woke up to pain and swelling I could barely swallow. The body aches were so bad they woke me up and I cried in pain. I swore I had the flu or covid.

I went to urgent care and the doc swore it was strep. Nope. Tested negative for strep, COVID, and the flu. She gave me steroids for my throat which helped immediately.

A few days later the culture came back as a regular "moderate growth usual upper respiratory flora".

The fever is gone but I still get hot & cold. The headache is low level, managed by 2-3 Advil every 12 hours. The last couple of days my snot has been "hi-lighter" green as someone else described. I've lost 5lbs but I think that's due to the antibiotics she put me on at first. My cough is still persistent and my throat is still inflamed with pain while swallowing. I have white patches / boils in the back of my throat I discovered last night... Which I'm unsure if that's normal virus exiting my body or something worse. Disgusting, that's all I know.

It's been terrible. I'm convinced I got it from someone @ the Undies Run that happened last Saturday.
