💭 How/when do you disclose that you were let go from your last job in an interview?

Hi all. I have yrs of experience in finance, never fired. Took an opportunity presented to me by a recruiter that seemed. like a good career move and was terminated after six weeks for “performance“. I was still onboarding and did not yet have full access to all systems. There was no PIP. I was still in training. After 8 years and working for a regulator for 3 I am blindsided. Can anyone advise?

If you were 10 weeks pregnant and had a notoriously difficult boss, would you tell them now or wait until after the first trimester? I’m dreading telling him. He’s explosive. Maybe talk to HR first.

Question for advisors: A client passes away. The account is relatively small, and there’s a good chance the surviving spouse will move the assets elsewhere. From a practice-management standpoint, there may be little economic incentive to spend money on flowers, memorial donations, etc. Do you send flowers, make a donation, send a handwritten card, call the family, or simply handle the paperwork professionally? Where do you draw the line between being a business owner and being a human being?

I was just separated from my company this morning. After being put on a PIP plan (which btw came as a surprise). Never not once was I told that I’m doing something wrong. In the end, I think I was put on this ridiculous plan because one of the executives stopped liking me. Ever since then, I’ve been targeted up until this point. What do I do?
