"I cannot thank you enough for helping me escape my bully boss. The last nine month of my life have been a living nightmare. Using your Model Request for Separation After Filing a Complaint, I was able to successfully get HR to remove me from direct reporting to my bully manager. Thank you!!"

Thanks a lot for this blog. I learned a lot from various articles on this website. Utilized some of this knowledge to successfully defend myself from FRIVOLOUS PIP initiated by my boss after being in the job for more than 4 years. Thanks a lot - you are doing a great service.

Al, It's amazing to me that I know so many people who have needed your services. Thanks again for all your help. It's so good to know you are out there, protecting us from corporate America!

Dear Al,
Almost 6 years ago I was being set up to get fired. I went to a lawyer for help who told me to get another job and charged me $250 for a 10 minute conversation over the phone. I then went to a career consultant who told me I was somehow at fault. I was desperate and started looking on the internet for any help and I found you. Your support, advice, including the people who work for you, helped me save my job. Almost 6 years later I am still employed with the same company and have received bonuses and raises every year. THANK YOU!!

Dear Alan,
Thanks for your help back in 2017 with my layoff and negotiation for more severance - I had my baby girl that summer and was able to enjoy a few extra months at home which was invaluable. I finally landed another full time position in the fall of 2016 and have been taking your advice about "finding a rabbi within the organization" to heart - please keep up the amazing blog, it's been such a resource for me and many of my friends! Have a wonderful 2018 and Year of the Rooster :)
Best,
A.W., New York, NY
I used your advice, and it worked!! Thank you sir!!
