I recently had a conversation with my boss, and he said: “Since you’re open to work, we won’t be holding you.” I’m unsure how to interpret this. For context: I work in a stable company (no layoffs). My LinkedIn profile shows “open to work.” My last performance review was very good. I haven’t been told I’m being let go. Does this phrase generally mean that my boss is considering terminating my employment, or just that the company won’t try to stop me if I decide to leave? I...| Recent Questions - The Workplace Stack Exchange
I’m still in my probation period at my new job and it’s quite easy for the employer to terminate the contract during this time (after that, it becomes much harder). My first feedback meeting is coming up soon, and I’m wondering how open I can be when sharing my own feedback. Here’s what’s been on my mind: I’ve noticed that the information flow in the team isn’t great — I often receive relevant updates later than some of my colleagues. I’d appreciate more awareness and inclus...| Recent Questions - The Workplace Stack Exchange
I am facing a situation at work and would appreciate advice on how to handle it professionally. I completed a task that required coordination for a production deployment and communicated with the responsible team member about the delivery date. I also notified the team via the official channel that the deployment was ready. Later, I was not available to execute the deployment myself, so I sent a private message to the project manager to remind them to inform the appropriate parties. After som...| Recent Questions - The Workplace Stack Exchange
Now that my first 3 months are up, my manager has scheduled our first official feedback meeting. He mentioned that he plans to ask his manager (“the big boss”) for input because he thinks the big boss might have a better impression of me. The problem is: the big boss barely knows me. Still, I’m wondering: should I clarify in the feedback meeting that the big boss barely knows me? Or would that come across as defensive or awkward?| Recent Questions - The Workplace Stack Exchange
I am quite new to the workforce. I am finishing a Pharmacy degree. I have been fired 4 times from community pharmacies. I worked 1 week cause I lied about having a car and they needed deliveries I lied about being in 1st year pharmacy when I wasn't yet and just about to get into university.

I got fired at a hospital on the 1st day because I got in a bit of a...| Recent Questions - The Workplace Stack Exchange
I see everywhere, both here and also in other sources, that HR is not your friend. The sources are always in the USA, and they always try to make clear for the employee of the USA, to not trust them, particularly not file reports to them. From the context, I believe, these "filing reports" might mean that the guy writes some bad about his boss or teammates to unknown guys in another department far away, representing and paid by the company. Not even trying to understand such basic facts like ...| Recent Questions - The Workplace Stack Exchange
I am an independent IT consultant permanently based in Spain, but I don't hold EU citizenship and have no legal or economic connections to the UK. I'm struggling to secure contract work with UK-based companies, even for roles that are Outside IR35. I've found that many UK employers are reluctant to hire non-UK residents for full-time remote contract opportunities due to concerns about tax obligations, compliance risks, and potential legal issues.

So I am currently unemployed and having interviews and conversations with various companies. There is one company A for which I passed various rounds of interviews, and is very likely - not sure, of course - they will make me an offer within the next few days. Again, this is not sure, but this question is in case that offer happens. Then there is a company B, who I much prefer over company A - but I like both, and would work at both - who is also interviewing me. The recruiting process of com...| Recent Questions - The Workplace Stack Exchange
2 years ago, I decided to go back to work for my previous employer in a different city. I left the first time because the more I did good at work, the more problems I had. I decided to come back because my previous colleagues made me feel like they did regret the conflict, and kind of admitted that my contribution is nothing but positive. Unfortunately, when I returned, I could feel that a lot of things didn't change. Maybe they did an effort to hide the obvious bad moves the used to do, but ...| Recent Questions - The Workplace Stack Exchange
