I spent half the morning explaining that flexible working does not mean “working whenever you feel like it.” The myths never die. In my experience lower paid staff take it as that... What is the most common misconception you are constantly correcting? 😅

Learning styles are real and if we don’t adapt training to them, it will suck. Second prize goes to, practice and feedback in training is wasted time—if you tell them what you want them to do clearly enough, they can perform without practice. Or job aids.

"Well the company is providing benefits, they should be fully paying for it" While I appreciate the exuberance and tenacity, tax implications and premium splits are the reality (and outlined in onboarding!). What happened to no such thing as a free lunch?

Re: the work anywhere - we allow it, but our VPN configuration is the big stickler. Employees need IT approval to connect in non-standard travel or time-zone locations, and this can even prevent them from working if they haven't been approved to work from a different geography. Maybe this would work for the folks who go rogue? But yes, it's often lower comp and "taking full advantage" of flexible arrangements in lieu.

We often had to remind folks of this especially mid pandemic.

Ladies at what age did you decide to allow your hair be natural? As far as color, style, etc? What was your reasoning to stop dying it either on your own or having it done professionally? I think I’m slowly getting to the point of seeing how I look with grays. I’ve dyed my hair for over 20 years. When the pandemic hit I started using Overtone at home. I don’t know if it’s bad I’m caring less about my appearance.

Is this normal?! Thanks for any help/advice, it’s greatly appreciated.
