🤔 Do you feel comfortable saying no or setting boundaries at work, or does that feel like something you can't or shouldn't do?

The rules are the rules. I’m a senior so I’m all about rules.

It depends on the boundary. If it is immoral or illegal, I can and should say no. If it is company policy and moral/legal, I should and would say yes.

I do not ignore boundaries or do nothing to know body.

Oh I feel comfortable. Sometimes I worry that it may hold back my development or advancement but it’s not worth the stress.

Guess it depends . If it’s from the manager then I’m perfectly fine.

I’ll set boundaries no problem

Question that could belong here or in the Relationships bowl:

How do women prefer to be turned down if the guy they’re pursuing is not interested. I know men have the capacity to deal with rejection poorly, and I’m not suggesting otherwise. But in my anecdotal experience , women take the gentle “no thanks, not interested” poorly.

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us. She starts work at 4:30am and leaves around 2:30pm, but she still expects us to stay until 6pm and work on the weekends! She gives us really long shifts and doesn't give us much time for breaks. And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?

For all you retail people...are you experiencing a very slow holiday season? I am a retail manager and I feel like this season has been freakishly slow. I thought we would at least match last year's number or be up a little bit but we are trending down. I talked to employees of other stores in the mall and they are saying the same thing. Is anyone else experiencing this in their market?

Thinking of switching employers.
