Ras: I was trying to figure out, really, what are his intentions? What is he trying to get out of his job? Is there some common ground there smart move so i asked him. He spent like the next 15, 20 minutes telling me about all the job offers he'd had leading up to his decision to join the organization. Ras: From that moment i was like, yes. I mean, this is, this is why i'm here, rin. We got this thing. And so from there it kind of seemed like it was a little bit easier to find ways to move forward.

Lynne has a colleague in a different department whose work is interdependent with hers, and he’s been surreptitiously encroaching on the scope of her role. He’s also been criticizing her behind her back. During their regular one-on-one meetings, he says everything’s fine, and he never mentions the work he’s doing that falls outside of his responsibilities.

When she raised these issues to him, he changed the subject. Lynne worries that the ongoing bad-mouthing and overstepping are damaging her reputation. What should she do? What should you do if you find yourself in a similar situation?

In this episode, Amy G talks with Lynne and recommends tactics for her to try. By the end of the episode, Lynne has a clear way forward and knows what she needs to do to improve her working relationship and protect her career.
