Listed here are three updates from previous letter-writers.
1. Worker made a racist remark to her office-mate
Thanks for answering my query! I have already got an replace.
Apparently when Anne and Leah’s supervisor took the difficulty to HR, they mentioned a plan to deal with it as a substitute of simply not doing something till the next week. (Supervisor took the difficulty to HR a few days after the incident, on the finish of the day. And our HR particular person was about to be off for the remainder of the week.)
This supervisor referred to as Anne and Leah in for a gathering. Shortly after the assembly, Anne left and the supervisor knowledgeable us that Anne resigned. I don’t know another particulars, however I do know that the stress within the workplace has been palpable this week because of this incident. And Leah’s complete demeanor has modified and he or she is visibly extra relaxed.
They usually have already got interviews scheduled right this moment for Anne’s substitute.
2. Freelance company retains paying me late, however they offer me quite a lot of work (#5 on the hyperlink; first replace)
I used to be the freelancer who parted methods with a very late-paying firm. Whereas working there, I had been pleasant with a colleague, and had achieved some freelance work for them outdoors the company, in addition to assist them ultimately go freelance themselves. They went on to change into a design director at one other company, and requested me to return and assist them arrange the design division and a newly acquired consumer. I liked the company and folks a lot that I took a everlasting function as a design lead just a few months later, and now handle a small staff of designers! I’m actually completely satisfied as a result of I really feel supported and like I can convey expertise like organising enterprise construction and processes to the desk (which I secretly LOVE). It’s been an awesome alternative to step as much as a management function they usually’re offering us with administration coaching too.
I assume the takeaway is that you simply by no means know when alternatives will current themselves, and the way even a ‘unhealthy’ state of affairs can have silver linings!
3. Interviewer stored telling me he appreciated my smile (#2 on the hyperlink)
