Ask Amy: I lost my job, and I’m planning to send a scathing letter to the bosses

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:50:51 GMT

Dear Amy: I am a 58-year-old worker who was recently laid off.My company hired someone to turn around the department and she failed miserably. The company terminated her and then threw the babies out with the bathwater, getting rid of me and another coworker at the same time.I guess it worked out well for them because the other fired coworker and I were outspoken about what was going on in our department. We knew the new business model would fail, and it did.The hiring manager who created this mess in this extremely toxic environment is a nightmare. Most employees fear her because she is cruel, condescending, and a narcissist. I have seen her reduce people to tears. She is a bully.This person needs to be told off, and I want to be the one to do it.Should I express myself, copying her manager and the CEO, as people need to know what’s going on? Or should I let it go and move on?I really feel the need to express myself so that I can leave this behind.– TerminatedDear Terminated: Defin...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:50:51 GMT

First responders and 911 call takers facing the stress and challenges of the job in Fairfax County, Virginia, will now have a new place to connect with mental health professionals.The Fairfax County Public Safety Wellness Center held its grand opening on Monday.“Firefighters, police officers see things that are not normal and we see things that are not normal at a rate much higher than the rest of the population … so I think to be able to have some place where, minimally, you can go and talk about your experiences to make sure you’re in the best place personally to serve this community is the absolute way forward,” said Fairfax County police Chief Kevin Davis.Police and firefighters have higher rates than the general public of stress, depression and suicide, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, and there’s often a stigma among public safety officers in seeking out mental health services.“The fact that this is off s...
