I'd say politics. I never really knew politics in office could be this big and messy. It really gives me a headache.

Religion. Most of the controversial topics derive from religious dogma. At least in my workplace.

Do you mean work-related or just in general?

The most controversial topic that I have to deal with at work when it comes to logistics is the issue of shipping costs and services. Companies are always looking for the most cost-efficient way to transport goods, but sometimes the cheapest option does not always provide the best quality. This has caused a lot of debate and disagreement within the logistics industry.

Related to work? Or personal issues? We have a lot of both issues at work.

In general? Well, a lot. Like our boss breaking up with his secretary to have an affair with another secretary in a different department.

I think it has something to do with promotion. It is very competitive here and sometimes people love to use dirty tactics.

Hmm. I can't really think of something controversial. Everything's so trivial.

Some PMs always catch my careless mistakes, and call me out hard. Now whenever I get an email from them I assume the worst and get anxious. The more I get anxious the more mistakes I make, and terrified this will lead to me for being “incompetent” and will get fired/passed up for promotions, then I mentally shut down at work and stop trying. Always been outspoken and an overachiever, now becoming shy awkward and quiet. I get panic attacks at work and feel trapped in my own body. Pls help!!

Hi community, humbly seeking professional HR advice. I recently joined my company’s HR team. In an informal conversation, a senior HRBP, considered a peer, called 2 of our fellow HR colleagues “worthless.” I should have rebuked her then & there but was so caught off guard. This person is 20 years my senior. In the same conversation this person advocated for me on a separate matter & complimented my performance. I am not sure what course of action to take at this time. Distraught & unsure.
