What have you all done to stop/address mansplaining at work? I manage someone who is a great performer, great team player, but is constantly mansplaining. He’s inadvertently condescending in team settings with men & women as well. It’s like he’s trying too hard to be helpful and it just lands all wrong. How can I be direct about this without crushing his spirit?

I would be honest with examples and try to put in under some type of competency like leadership or communication.

“I’ve noticed a few examples where you may be communicating in a way that may not land well with others. EXAMPLE. I would recommend framing your thoughts more like XY - your insights are awesome and I love having you on the team, and this adjustment is going to make you a lot more effective!”

I moved from India to Canada 2yrs back. I am happy here, enjoying work, new place and new lifestyle. But, even after 2yrs of being in a new country I have no social life. Couldn't meet anyone new as it's a work from home situation. There are a few meetup groups but being an introvert that I am, it's hard to make friends this way. I prefer a more natural way of meeting people.. like at work or at an institute etc. Anybody has any suggestions?

Would love to be able to pick out something nice I've seen, schedule the shipment to arrive on a certain specific day out in the future (weeks or months ahead) and be done. This works for gifts, and also for certain purchases that you need occasionally but don't fall into the subscribe at regular intervals option currently listed.
