Does anyone else struggle networking with seniors? I really hate the superficial work talks and I find it super hard to find common ground with some of these people

Let them talk about their experiences. I am a female and yet find their military experience fascinating. Learn to listen. I belong to the democrat party and seniors are very update on what’s going on. I ask them what they see and it’s a very interesting conversation. have yet to meet a person that does not like talking about themselves.

Really looking for a way to turn around a toxic building culture with staff to staff bullying, cliques/social isolation, hard feelings on big topics (racism, non acceptance of gender identity). Last year the staff polarized with the lead bully whom I helped leave. And the lead gossip (who was my secretary) that gained their sympathy and turned them against me. She also left. Now I need to regain trust and eliminate unacceptable teacher behaviors. Open to any and all advice.

What is the advice on what feedback to leave for a peer who really sucks at everything y'all have worked together on? It's about the time where everyone on my team requests feedback from each other and I'm nervous for it coming up. My manager knows that everything I've worked w her on I end up doing 90% of the work when it's meant to be split so it is a known issue. We're both at level 3 so are genuinely peers. She seems like a nice person but i have 0 positive work feedback tbh
