I'm pretty sure a colleague of mine is struggling with alcohol and I'm not sure what to do. I don't want to get them in trouble, but I'm also worried about their safety and their ability to do their job. I've thought about talking to them about it, but I'm not sure how to approach the subject. I'm also worried about how they'll react if I confront them. Any advice?

I would contact the anonymous ethics line to get advice. It’s difficult to know how serious the situation is given the facts. If it’s interfering with their ability to represent clients, you have a duty to report. If you’re simply worried about a colleague it’s tricky to say what to do.

Got my annual hike in Oct 2021 without the promotion. I asked HR last week again and got a random announcement email saying my promotion is w.e.f Oct 2021. ( and no raise for the newly promoted role).
