Hey!
Dealing with a weird issue.
Today my manager handed over a bag with some items to me (company branded clothing, journal etc) to welcome me into my new role. In the bag I also found an old lingerie. I think it's very very likely that there was just some old clothes left over in the bag and without realizing it she just packed over it. However this has now put me in an awkward position. Do I ask her about it or just act as though nothing happened and hope she doesn't realize?

You trying to create awkwardness in your new role? Not sure where the lingerie came from, could have been a practical joke by someone else on her. If your manager didn’t do it or know about it, that’s a really weird first conversation with her. In a nutshell….deny, deny, deny

I have had a 60%+ increase in volume from this time last year, but we have not had a new hire in my role to assist with the influx. Additionally, others in my department are overworked and they're delegating down to me.

So not only do I gave more work than ever, I'm doing tasks outside my original role

Need some advice. During May of 2021 an operations manager and an hourly Hr employee started a relationship while the ops manager was married.

Is it too late to investigate the ops manager for misconduct ? The ops manager has worked here for 15 years and is super valuable, the operation literally can not run without him.
