I’m convinced Outlook has a personal vendetta against me. I check, double check, and even email people after sending the invite, yet somehow someone still shows up late saying they didn’t get the link. Then I look like the disorganized one and have to scramble to reschedule twelve calendars and three time zones. Is it me? Is it them? Or are we all victims of digital gaslighting?

Mark the invite as "high priority" Cc the Manager when setting up the invites so they have the proof. Most often, staff are doing other things and say they didn't receive it.

Add verbiage timo include a confirmation receipt.

I had a final discussion with him today about it and he went on abt how love isn’t enough for me…

Hey! I’m new here and would like some input. I’ve been working in a new position for almost 5 months. In that time I’ve witnessed some unethical and lots of unprofessional behavior. I’ve been yelled at and berated by my coworker 3 separate times because of minor errors. I’m ready to quit. There are so many major issues in this company that I don’t know if I want to subject my mental health to this degree of toxicity. I just don’t know how to move forward from here.
