Why do you feel guilty for using sick days that is given to you. Isn’t this how you’re supposed to use sick days? I’m curious to know why there is a sense of guilt.

Definitely continue with manager training. You will have to set it up as something they need to be able to do and gain experience with for their next level/role. You can start by giving them a small role in meetings and eventually expand their role. Give them something easier to manage during those meetings, see how they perform and refine expectations during 1:1s. Let them own the role even when you’re sitting in the meeting. You will have to assess their capacity/capabilities and start from there (and make sure they’re OK with it). Give them advice/frameworks and start with run of the mill type meetings.

You can’t expect them to volunteer to work at work but at the same time you don’t want to overwhelm them and cause them to freak out. Reassure it is ok to follow up in meetings as long as they cover the objectives of the meeting.

He mentioned that insurance companies want us to first try Ritalin because they are generally cheaper. How much truth is there to this? Thanks!

My plan is to transition to Part-time or PRN (once weekly) to spend time with my baby before he’s no longer a baby anymore.

Now that my babe is getting older and learning so much right now I want to be present more for his neurodevelopment. My trouble is… I love the income I make full-time… What age was your child when you went part-time or stay at home? And why?
