On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:
- At trial, your tax-evading husband was lucky enough to dodge prison for the sake of his family, but the discovery of his secret gun stash (which you uncovered by mistake) could change that. What should you do now that you know about it? [Thanks — again — to attorney Corbin Payne for helping us answer this one!]
- Narcolepsy hasn't prevented you from achieving superior performance ratings while working from home, but now your job is pushing for a return to the office. How can you best make the case for a medical exception to maintain a win/win status quo? [Thanks to HR professional Joanna Tate for helping us with this one!]
- Your borderline personality disorder-suffering stepdaughter's enabling father — your partner — has made it clear he'll always prioritize her needs over yours. Unfortunately, he doesn't want to put in the work to get her the treatment she needs to become someone you feel safe around — or have around your baby. What's your best move?
- A colleague you once considered creatively combustive has become, at the helm, a toxic and tiresome lodestone to your organization. Should you join a coup to usurp his deteriorating grasp on the company's reins before all is lost, or give him a heads up that his leadership is in shambles?
