Dear LFTP: the operations manager and the copier email

• I found a printed email from my manager about a personnel change regarding the operations manager (my job) on the office copier — should I confront my manager or start looking for a new job?

A listener who is the operations manager of a small nonprofit found a printed email from their manager on the office copier about a personnel change regarding the operations manager, and asks whether to confront the manager or start job hunting. Advice given: do both, but resume first — the manager's carelessness is embarrassing, and it may be a passive-aggressive tell, but staying could mean fighting in a bad environment. A host tells a supporting story about quitting a job after a highlighted 'termination' note, walking over to Ben who worked there, and Mike calling three hours later from his new manager job at the Valvoline oil-change shop.
