A manager’s influence goes beyond day to day work. Helping employees understand their financial benefits and make informed money decisions can build trust and long term loyalty. Do you think financial literacy should be part of a manager’s responsibility?

No, not really. That falls under personal responsibility. Everything is easy to Google or watch YouTube videos to learn the basics, managers don't need to hand-hold their employees through the basics of financial literacy IMHO.

No, I don't really see it that way. I would hope that anyone working with us would be financially literate and wouldn't need tutoring or advice in that regard. I will say I think financial literacy should be something emphasized in school, and it sure doesn't look like it is.

Very true, I totally agree with you

I don’t think so. I just want to do my job and go home. Managers should be good at their job and making the life of their direct reports easier. Simple

Thanks all

The main attorney that I work under had noticed some mistakes I was making (I am a NY paralegal who took this position with the understanding that they’d be teaching me NJ and NYC real estate). Anyways, the attorney decided to tell the HR manager about the mistakes I had been making. Rather than HR discussing with me, the manager told my dramatic coworker to tell me..how should I handle this? Very hurt!
