On This Week's Feedback Friday:
- You work at a brokerage firm where your colleague "Dolores," a self-appointed office manager in her sixties, went from being your mentor to your archnemesis after you made the mistake of pointing out some of her mistakes. When she started gushing about a handsome British architect she met through an online word game, you noticed some concerning patterns. Should you have warned her that she was definitely being set up for a scam, or was it right to let karma run its course?
- As a rising chef, you notice something off about your new boss's behavior, particularly around tip distribution and suspicious activities at odd hours. When the tips seem inconsistent and large wads of cash appear from nowhere, you start connecting troubling dots. What dark discoveries await?
- You're a department manager at a supermarket when your elderly janitor calls you in for an emergency with the freezer compressors. Upon arrival, you find him nearly naked, operating the floor buffer in just his underwear, claiming "it gets hot in here." But that's just the beginning of his odd behavior...
- You're a court reporter at an Ohio newspaper where your editor makes bizarre demands — like covering two trials simultaneously and writing about judicial rulings before they're issued. When you point out these impossibilities, he responds with "That's no excuse!" Where does this surreal situation lead?
- Recommendation of the Week: Gmail keyboard shortcuts
- Working under the brilliant but destructive Helga, you navigate an environment where your leader's intelligence becomes a weapon rather than a tool for growth. As she critiques every move and demands constant rewrites without clear justification, you wonder if you can endure the true cost of working under such "genius."
- At an addiction treatment center run on nepotism, you encounter a CEO's son-in-law COO who exhibits concerning behavior — from inappropriate touching to racist comments. When a coworker is suddenly fired for exploring other opportunities, you realize your position might be precarious...
- Your boss styles himself as a mix between Tony Soprano and Michael Scott, oversharing personal tragedies within minutes of meeting you. When he reveals himself to be a volatile character who demands employees "die for his company," you start planning your escape. But can you get out unscathed?
