Do you normally invite your boss to your wedding? I have know him for a while and he has been instrumental for my career, but outside of work we don’t talk much. Thoughts?

Following. I’ve worked with my boss now for 4-5 years and they’ve helped me get promoted 3 times. I’m not currently inviting them or. Anyone from work

I invited my bosses at the time

only if you have a relationship outside of work

I would never.
Also my boss is unhinged and does drugs at work events so I’m not having that at my wedding.
Also I think in the postcovid world it’s totally fine to make it an “intimate” wedding and not invite work people. I think that’s the norm now actually.

I’m inviting basically my whole office including my boss. While I don’t hang out with most of them outside of the office, I spend 40 hours a week with them and really enjoy them. It’s a nice gesture and they’ll probably get you a nice gift, but it’s not necessary.

I was able to see her entire employee file..even her address. I was really freaked out and I went to another profile and the same thing happened, I was able to see this person's emergency contact. Is this fucking normal? Should I say something and will I get in trouble for looking at a colleagues file?

I have a direct report who is smart, passionate about her job and can be really innovative. However she carries this enormous weight of responsibility, for needing to do everything, do it right, make sure it's perfect, not trusting colleagues to help. It creates dread and panic and overwhelming workload and a terrible attitude for her and I am speaking with her this week to start to shift her mindset. Any tips in navigating how to let go of this heavy idea of "responsibility"?

I'm feeling a lot of anger towards my manager (now he's acting normal but there were moments where he was condescending/dismissive/mocked my and others work/arrogant/said stuff was "wrong" constantly/belittling the difficulty of tasks etc. in the past project).
Maybe it is "standard chewing out" but it bothered me a lot. So much that I find myself still getting all fired up inside thinking about it...
Idk how to let go of this :/ Thoughts?
