Whether she was fired or not

Hello, magician,

First of all, I wish you every success and happiness in all your endeavors and in your actions, such as this one.

Some time ago, I contacted you following an issue that occurred at the workplace.
Today, I still haven’t made up my mind about my fate.

Actions were indeed attempted, but in vain; my manager’s attitude remains the same.

I have the feeling that I will no longer be part of society.

What do you think?

Here are my figures:

Thank you for your help

Hello Babette,

Happy New Year and best wishes for happiness!

I don't see any dismissal in the offing for you; your manager seems to be struggling to cope, but she is still keeping her course, or, to put it another way, keeping the church in the middle of the village.
In short, continuation and status quo.

Have a good day
The magician.

Hello, magician,

Thank you for your quick response; I have to admit it’s complicated, but I needed a little reference point.

I'll keep you posted on what happens next.

Thank you again and have a good day
Babette

Good evening, magician,

I am getting back to you on the same subject. This time, I would like to know what my future in society will be.

Will there be any changes, and will I still be working in the same department? I have to go back to work, but I admit that I still have a lot of apprehension. I have a bit of the feeling that I was betrayed by my colleagues, who had started to stand up with me but who no longer show any signs of doing so. It must be said that they are also under a lot of pressure, at least that is what the alleged [person] says.

All in all, what do you see from your side?

Here are my numbers: 22 3 5 7 9

Sincerely

Babette
P.S.: For your information, my first name is Bernadette-Elisabeth, but I am more commonly called Babette.

Hello, the Magician,

Can you tell me what will happen next in my professional situation?

Hello Babette,

Bernadette-Elisabeth, what a lovely name!
Many of those who intended to speak up find themselves held back in their efforts or simply back down out of fear of losing their jobs.
As for you, I see you staying in your current position, so there’s no major professional development on the horizon.

Yours sincerely
The magician.

Hello, the Magician,

First of all, thank you for your reply, and please accept my apologies for my delay.

Indeed, you are probably right that they are afraid of losing their jobs, but that still doesn't explain their behavior, which I perceive negatively, since after all it all started with their grievances, which eventually got on my nerves and came back to bite me.

In short, I’ve decided to take a step back and detach myself from this issue, and above all, to stop listening to their complaints.

As for my manager, I don't hold a grudge against her, but I still keep an eye on things and remain vigilant.

Is that really the right attitude?

I leave it to you to tell me what you think about it.

Thank you in advance
P.S.: I'm glad you like my first name.

Have a good day

Hello Babette,

Those who voice complaints but do nothing to make things change are not worth listening to!
So I think you made the right decision to take a step back from all of this; it’s sad to say, but given the circumstances, it’s best to adopt a “every man for himself” approach.
I don't know what position you hold within this company, but your manager is and remains your manager; if she makes management errors or other mistakes, what could you possibly change about that?
Therefore, I do not think it is a good attitude to go watch her or to go spy on her!

Have a good day
The magician.
