I was recently called a “capitalist bitch” behind my back by an employee who I consistently get client complaints about, having a ton of 5PM hard outs and midday therapy appointments. I let her know we must service our clients and she got very mad. What should I do?

Maybe this is what she was talking about and a little self-awareness could do you some good?

Sounds like you might be? When you say “having a ton” you imply she sometimes does work past 5pm. Which is nice of her…. Medical appointments seem reasonable too. Dealing with anything healthcare is shitty as is. I don’t know what I would do if my manager felt the way you did. 100% toxic work culture that puts work before people. In all seriousness though, seems like the client needs better boundaries and expectations. If she’s otherwise good at her job, I don’t see the problem. My advice…you should pick up after her. Therapy and some time away from work will do ya good.

Hi community, humbly seeking professional HR advice. I recently joined my company’s HR team. In an informal conversation, a senior HRBP, considered a peer, called 2 of our fellow HR colleagues “worthless.” I should have rebuked her then & there but was so caught off guard. This person is 20 years my senior. In the same conversation this person advocated for me on a separate matter & complimented my performance. I am not sure what course of action to take at this time. Distraught & unsure.
