Dear Good Job: J.K. Rowling is anti-trans and anti-asexual. What to do?

J.K. Rowling has turned into a bully who uses her fame and fortune to spread misinformation and bigotry against transgender and asexual people.

You could ask her to watch her Harry Potter reruns on her own device and use headphones.

The good news is that the TV series likely won't premiere until 2026 or 2027 , so you have some buffer time.

Dear Good Job: Is there a Field C that would exercise some of your technical and artistic skills? If you’re eager to get back to Field A, be sure to express that when you apply for new jobs.

Don’t let concerns about your references slow your search. If you are asked for references, tell a former manager that you would like to share their name.

This is subtly different from just telling your boss you want new projects, because a request for a promotion can imply that you’ll look elsewhere if you can’t advance in your current workplace.

Think big about what you would like to do that would also support your current employer’s mission, something that would help them (and you) grow even more.

If your employer isn't flexible enough to let you advance there, keep up your job search.
