“My male managers don’t respect me. How do I stand up for myself?”
As more companies push for a return to the office, one thing is clear: workplace etiquette has never felt murkier. What’s the right way to navigate a hybrid schedule, an in-person meeting full of “old-school” colleagues, or a toxic work environment that feels impossible to escape?
In this special HerMoney Mailbag episode, Jean Chatzky is joined by Lizzie Post, great-great-granddaughter of Emily Post and co-author of the new book Emily Post’s Business Etiquette. Lizzie brings clarity to the confusion with thoughtful, modern advice on everything from salary negotiations to how to speak up in a room full of senior men.
Together, they answer your real-world questions, including:
- How to take credit for your ideas without sounding arrogant
- What to say when you're being seen as "the daughter" instead of the professional
- Whether that shiny new job offer is worth the pay cut (or worth leaving your current one)
- How unlimited PTO really works (and if it’s too good to be true)
