I was terminated and escorted out of my last job in the Healthcare IT industry without warning. It was due to reporting a few coworkers for violating HIPPA, and preventing a social engineering attempt in real time with security and fellow clinical systems analysts. Was informed that doing so was a terminable offense because it is not my responsibilty to contact our security team. Later found out that the Human Resources Department didn't approve of my termination and advised against it

What would you choose? Job 1: stay at legacy enterprise software giant in marketing director IC role with terrible boss but high base salary and remote? Lots of process, things move slowly, no mobility. Good work life balance, bad for mental health and feeling fulfilled at work. Been there 2 years. Job 2: join cloud native Saas company, similar role senior IC in marketing, much smaller team and number of employees, lower base salary but much higher equity, stock doing well? Boss seems nicer

Engineers should probably form unions.

I’ve been WFH from a different country for three months without telling HR, and the anxiety is finally starting to eat me alive. My VPN is holding up, and my manager hasn't noticed that my home office background is just a stock photo. The tax implications are probably a nightmare, but my quality of life has doubled since I left the Bay Area. Is it better to ask for forgiveness if I get caught? Should I just keep going?

In your opinion is DEI dead at work (specifically in tech)? It was such a big push a few years ago and now I don’t hear anything.
