Sometimes I just kill them with kindness. The more you talk down to me the more I'll be sugary sweet until you're apologizing to me. Kind of passive aggressive but it works most of the time, especially with people who are a bit drunk on their power.

If it gets bad enough, I'll call them out. "There's no need to be rude/condescending. We're both professionals here and should be treating one another with respect." Usually that's enough to put them in their place.

Whoa. I think if they're doing it often, they must've gotten used to it already. Do call them out once they do to get their attention. Poeple who are already rude don't usually listen nor participate well when pulled aside even if that's the most polite would can get. A firm "Hey. Don't talk to me like that" is enough to get the lesson across.

I do the same! Kill them with kindness and show them you know your stuff!

Pull them aside and speak firmly on how you are feeling they’ll shut up real quick. Being direct is the best way by pulling them aside they don’t get embarrassed

I must be petty because I get passive-aggressive in return. I'm sure one of these days they'll be needing my assistance and I might not be as responsive. Not for the same of anybody's patient though, but little things can teach big lessons.

Wow, I am either very petty or very Southern haha. I empty their staplers daily. I horde those trashy pt-only pens (you know them) when they’re nearly out of ink, and I slowly replace all their nice fancy pens with the trash ones (not personal paid-for pens, just the nice ones the office supplies). The fancy pens are all placed in the crack between the desk and wall. 1 rude comment = 1 pen changed out. On days they mange to be a reasonable professional and not rude, all their staples stay put as do the pens.

There are many reasons why people in the working world are not direct when speaking. They are one of the following:

* They pretend they are experts
* They are inexperienced
* They are full of themselves
* They don't know what they are looking for
* They love to talk

Even if these people have good intentions, be careful of them. Your time is valuable, and the best thing for you to do is to be direct back at them.

DE&I is now a core leadership competency. If you are managing diverse talent, it’s important to understand what the term “privilege” means within a DE&I context so you can lead your team to higher levels of inclusivity+develop optimal strategies for solutioning around team issues/challenges. Everyone has some aspect of privilege depending upon the context. Privilege means the absence of obstacles/barriers, not necessarily the presence of perks. Though some would say *that* itself is a perk.

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?

How do I leave my role as someone on the talent team. I am on a small recruitment team of only a few people, who connect daily.

If I am looking to leave my company, considering all of these things, how do I do it in the least awkward, most professional way possible? I want to put in at least a two week notice, but will continuing my work after that be weird?

Name the most ridiculous micro-managing by partners that you experience.

I’ll go first: MP told me that on initial emails, I am always to start with “Hello [name],” but after the initial email, I am not to address her by name again in the same thread. Initial greeting can only be “Hello [name] ” because just first name is too brisk and a “Hi [name]” is too informal. Had a 5 minute, in depth conversation as to why she prefers it this way…
