My confession is our team lead is our on parental leave rn and I'm not sure how many emails to exclude/include them on. Like for big things i feel like we should include so they can see when they're back but people are including them for like huddle agendas, small fires put out same afternoon, etc. Then some people are excluding them 100%

How long is the leave? If its more than 2 or 3 weeks they'll probably won't catch up on emails anyway and will just have you give them updates on everything once they are back

It could absolutely get a company in trouble. See: Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)

And it totally hear you on people feeling slighted. That’s also part of the bigger issue — that we’re even conditioned to feel slighted.

I just left a very toxic work place.
The crazy thing is they were just named the best local municipality to work for. It's upsetting. They advertise a "culture" but don'tapply it. It felt like a used car sales pitch, I was sold a dream but given junk. I am constantly replaying moments. I have read so many books and everything leads to they were the problem. How do I recover from this?

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?
