I agree so much! I respect when somebody says they don’t know and will figure it out and get back to us, it’s really that simple. The other part is that sometimes, when people do that, they get a lot of flak for not knowing. Doesn’t excuse it, but I do understand why people aren’t always so quick to admit it.

Yes! I think once upon a time, general work culture penalized people who didn’t already know everything. I’m so grateful to see a shift toward appreciation for learning and curiosity on the job.
Oh my gosh. I would be absolutely furious if this happened to me. Saying I don't know definitely isn't a weakness either. Many adults don't like to admit when they don't know the answer but it i better than guessing.
