Support my work

Your workplace, explained plainly.

I help employees understand how companies really work: the policies, the paperwork and the decisions that shape your career. No jargon, no guesswork.

What you can learn here

Three topics that affect almost every employee, and that companies rarely explain openly.

Layoffs

Know where you stand before, during and after. Understand why layoffs happen and what you are actually being asked to sign.

  • Why companies lay people off, and how they pick who goes
  • What happens on the day: the meeting, access, final pay
  • Severance, notice periods and settlement agreements
  • The legal side: your rights, release clauses, non-competes
  • Benefits, insurance and what to ask before you sign

Performance reviews

Turn a process that feels opaque into one you can prepare for.

  • How ratings, calibration and bell curves work
  • Writing a self-review that gets noticed
  • Handling a poor rating or an improvement plan
  • Keeping records that protect you

Promotions

See how decisions get made, so you can make your case clearly.

  • How levels, budgets and promotion cycles work
  • Building evidence for the next role
  • Having the promotion conversation with your manager
  • What to do when you are passed over

This is general information to help you ask better questions. It is not legal advice, and rules differ by country and company. For a specific dispute, speak to a qualified lawyer.

Why I do this

My mission is to give employees transparency and help them navigate corporate workplace policies with confidence. People make better decisions about their careers when they understand the rules in front of them.
