Can you work two full-time jobs at the same time? If the companies don’t know about it… then no. Your job probably wants your full attention, and you should give it to them. They’re paying you a full salary, so they get to monopolize your working hours. If you can stack two part-time jobs together, …

Manager accuses employee of skipping a meeting because she didn’t remember that he was there: ‘Apparently not contributing made me invisible in that meeting.’
His camera was off, and he didn’t contribute, so it makes sense his coworkers would forget he was there. Is it better to be quiet in a work meeting where you don’t have much to say, or talk in a meeting just for the sake of talking? It really depends on what kind of a …

Company forces hardworking remote employee to return to the office; employee does half as much work in the office as he did when working from home: ‘I probably put 10-12 hours of work in per day, because I could squeeze it in anywhere.’
He was the poster child for successful work-from-home employees, and they took it away from him. Spring 2021 was probably one of the most productive times in my entire life. I was a junior in college and had 18 credit hours, which is a lot more than I had in basically any other semester. I …

Boss bombards mostly-remote employee with 5 AM screenshot demanding 5 days/week in the office: ‘It’s an hour drive from home’
Communication is key, especially when it’s bad news. Everyone has different communication styles. Some people want an open line of communication at all times so they can constantly get updates.

Boss schedules ‘mandatory fun meeting’ at 4:55 PM on a Friday to review the ‘wins’ of the week: ‘This is the micromanager’s way of making sure nobody ducks out early on a Friday.’
They know what they’re doing, and it’s only going to make their employee’s resent them. You would think that everyone hates pointless meetings. If you’re going to interrupt an employee’s workflow, do so only for something that benefits them, you, and the whole company. Meetings should be for discussions that can’t be had over email …

Remote Learning Won’t End the Traditional Snow Day if Parents Don’t Let it
Six short years ago, it seemed like the entire world learned how to work, learn, and play from the comfort of their homes. It took a little bit of adjustment at first. Most of us had never even heard of Zoom after a decade of Skype dominating the conversation. But even with the technical hiccups …
