Question for solo workers that don’t sit with their team, how do you navigate working this way and building relationships with those you physically sit with when you are in the office? (though they may not be your direct team)
Or managers who have a direct/directs in different regions, how do you make a point to include your directs that don’t physically sit in the same office as you?

We always zoom w/cam on. I try and take time to connect personally as well.

I only sit with 2 folks on my team, and they dont sot near me. I have formed good relationships with those around me by saying hi, and causal chatting. We have all become close over the past year or so. It makes going in a lot more bearable.

Ok so if I use the Snapchat makeup filter on my zoom call is it super obvious/ look silly? I'm taking about that really subtle one that clears your face up and adds subtle "eyeliner". Do you know what I'm talking about? I don't want to put makeup on for calls but I look washed out without it lol.

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing. She’s made 5 other associates cry during her 5 year career. Got someone fired and made another person quit. It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.

Me: I don’t want us to have a confrontational relationship and I think we can agree something needs to change. When you make stupid decisions, that affects my business and it makes me feel like you’re not up to the job. That makes it harder for my team to do our jobs. I think to be an authentic leader I need to be radically candid with you and point our your mistakes. So are you willing to work with me on this?
