My company is transitioning from wfh back to the office, but everyone returning to the office is supposed to be vaccinated. I told my boss I would NOT be getting the vaccine and he said I wouldn’t have a desk in the office until I did. So I told him I would continue to wfh. He said that “wouldn’t work.” After our phone call, I got an invite for a zoom conference with my boss and an HR rep!? They’re infringing on my rights by requiring a vaccine. What can I do to make sure I keep my job?

What comes to your mind when upper management says in a Teams or Zoom meeting: “We are a family” My first thought is: “They want us to put in more work without paying us more.” My second thought is: “This family is falling apart..."

My manager on Zoom calls always says he is busy catching up with emails and will be working on the weekends. When we are at the office, I see him chatting with the receptionist and going to lunch—or talking to his family on the phone. It makes me uncomfortable because he is definitely lying and I have to keep doing his work. What should I do?

Ladies, do you wear your natural hair to work? I usually wear a wig but I'm considering wearing a small twistout for casual friday. Bad idea? If you're wfh - same question for zoom meetings etc.

So about quiet quitting, at another job I was in I felt I was getting more and more tacked onto my job and picking up the slack of everyone else. I told my boss that I was doing work that was in someone else’s job description and it would be nice if they could help me out by doing their job. He told me, “But you’re so much better at it.” Looking back, I think the whole team was quiet quitting and he was resting on me and so I real quit. What are ya’lls thoughts? Have you ever done it?

This isn't totally on topic but does anyone else have a deeply religious parent who won't get off your case about it? I prioritized a meeting over going to Zoom virtual church with my mom tonight and she started crying and saying I must find room for the Lord in my life. We spend plenty of other time together so I know it isn't that. How can I get her to see that it's never going to be as important to me as it is to her and I'm not going to prioritize it over my career?

One of our older employees is constantly failing IT's phishing tests. We've given her several warnings and we're now at a point where she will have to face some type of consequence (up to HR). My thing is, she is older and isn't as tech-savvy. I want to advocate for her to cut her some slack but I also want to be mindful of the fact that she has access to very sensitive information and is constantly on the verge of leaking this information. Any advice on how to navigate?
