Episode 491: Re-arranging deck chairs on the Titantic and my boss leaks private info

In this episode of Soft Skills Engineering, Jamison and Dave address listener questions, offering advice and sharing personal experiences. The first question deals with navigating the awkwardness of a three-month notice period after resigning, amidst company layoffs and low morale. They suggest the listener leverage their unique position to improve the team's situation, gather honest feedback for management, or simply spread hope. The second question concerns dealing with a toxic manager who shares confidential information and reacts poorly to feedback. They advise against contacting HR, suggesting instead to document specific instances of poor behavior, and, if necessary, to approach the manager's boss or leave the company, providing honest feedback in the exit interview.
