Mr. Manager is posting again y'all 🤡
My boss hits on me—and I kinda like it.
I am not ok.
Is 33 too old for a nose piercing?
It’s not that bad.

I started my job mid march. I haven’t worked a day in the office.
My team and coworkers have been very welcoming. I’ve gone out of my way to connect with people. You can’t have the hallway intros - it needs to be a zoom invite on someone’s calendar.
The formal and the informal. At the AS level, you should have a rough idea of a few people to meet but ask your manager for the list. Everyone you meet with - ask them to name 2-3 people you should connect with.
Team happy hours over zoom - cliché but they work. It feels weird. In general - making the best of a difficult situation.
You have to over-communicate and make the conversations happen. I have a bio slide I sometimes share with people.
I can now recognize people’s voices. I’ve met several kids, SOs, dogs and cats. It’s part of the process.
Thank you! I’m starting a new job on Monday. Thanks for the tip about asking 2-3 people to connect with.
