It’s five answers to five questions. Here we go… 1. Should I attend a social event with an employee who I’ll probably need to fire? I’m the manager of a small team. I get on well with all of them. However, one employee is a consistent problem. I’ve started the investigation/disciplinary process and have had a couple of formal meetings so far. However they haven’t changed their ways and don’t seem to have understood the seriousness of the situation. On one level I like the person, but they’re a terrible employee and unless they radically change their ways, we are…

Marialexandra Horna Arrieta enjoying a boat ride on the Amazon River. Photo: Marialexandra Horna Arrieta Marialexandra Horna Arrieta’s family hails from a small mountain town in the Peruvian Andes called Tarma, nicknamed the “city of flowers” for its natural beauty. Growing up in one of the most biodiverse countries in the world, Horna often thought of the interconnection between natural resources and the economy, especially as she watched climate change impact the landscape and sustainability of crops in her hometown.  As an economics major, she interned at the Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean, discovering green finance as a…

 Completing the Old Logger’s Path on a sun-drenched autumn dayOur long trek did not go according to plan. Not even close. What began as a nearly 300-mile PAW Mega Loop transformed into a 200 + mile PAWventure. In the Pennsylvania Wilds, we explored the Susquehannock Trail, the Quehanna Trail, the Black Forest Trail, the Chuck Keiper Trail, the Allegheny Front Trail and countless even lesser traveled connecting trails. Near the end of our journey, we ventured into the Ridge and Valley Region on the Mid State Trail and the Old Logger’s Path. We finished in the Endless Mountains on the…

Pac-Man was always such a harmless soul, lost in the labyrinth of his own mind, chased by ghostly memories of his past and finding succour in a trail of psychoactive dots and the occasional fruit. He always seemed so happy. Or at least preoccupied.He was never the same after the werewolf attack. He’s so grumpy now. And he’s completely abandoned vegetarianism… Striated Frogfish, also known as Hairy Frogfish, are aptly named. They’re Striated because they’re stripy and they’re Hairy because they go around in a yeti costume.Oh, and they’re Frogfish because they’re… Frogfish. Did you guess? I was thinking of…

Note: This talk is given by me in a course linked to Kriyatantra Institute, yoginiashram, USA (https://kriyatantrainstitute.com/). There are many more interesting courses offered by the gurus there and many of you can benefit from those. Do get in touch with them in case you are a resident of India and need a discount for their courses. In the previous module we have understood the following points: 1) Vāk is the primordial utterance of ONE god which manifests the Universe. 2) Vāk is physical as well as non-physical. The physical perishes but the non-physical does not. When we turn to the…

A campaign brief comes back polished. Structured, on-brand, done fast.  Six months later, the same person is asked to walk a client through the strategy live, with no deck and no drafting tool open. They freeze. Not because they’re incompetent, but because they never actually built the muscle.  AI carried the parts of the job that would have taught them how to think about it. As a manager, you can no longer tell just by looking at a finished deliverable if your employee actually solved the problem or if they just prompted their way past it. That ambiguity changes everything…

Email WhatsApp LinkedIn Twitter/X Messenger Facebook Uranus goes stationary retrograde in Taurus on Thursday, Sept. 10th and stays retrograde until Feb. 8th, when it goes direct again. The station happens at 11 degrees of Taurus in the constellation of Rohini, and a stationary planet is very powerful in the sky about 5 days before and 5 days after the station, so Sept. 5-15th is the window to watch. This is more of an outer world event, but with Uranus in Taurus, the earthiest and most grounded of the signs, the sudden shocks tend to show up around the earth itself,…

A reader writes: I’ve got an etiquette question for you. I (female) work in an open plan office and sit about 15 feet away from one of my managers. He has a close, mentor-like relationship with my (male) coworker and about once a week they will sit together at his desk and chat for about an hour about their professional ambitions, the state of the company, and other industry-related topics. They keep the volume of their voices down to indicate that they’re having a private conversation, but they’re not whispering — I can still hear everything they say. Plus, I’m…

It’s five answers to five questions. Here we go… 1. New employee gets defensive while I’m training her I’m a lead dental assistant with over 10 years of experience, and I’m struggling with how to manage a newer dental assistant who has been in the field for five months. She’s 42, and I’m 30. Almost anytime I correct or redirect her, even over normal clinical or workflow issues, she becomes defensive or offended and will sometimes argue with me instead of taking the feedback. She frequently talks over me and other coworkers, and I often have difficulty finishing an explanation…

Currently, RIKEN is a national research institute in Japan, but it was originally founded as a private research foundation in 1917, called the RIKEN Foundation. In 1921, Masatoshi Ōkōchi (1878–1952) became its third president , and for over 25 years greatly contributed to both the development of RIKEN and the modernization of Japan’s efforts in science and technology. He adhered to the principle  of pursuing academic research and applying it to society. It’s nice to think that this principle ran in his family.Sanmon Gate of Heirinji Temple © Kinpozan HeirinjiNobutsuna Matsudaira (1596–1662), known as Izu-no-Kami Nobutsuna, was a fudal daimyo (hereditary…

Lord Gautam Buddha says:”You will not be punished for your anger; You will be punished by your anger.”Anger is a major enemy of self. Under various conditions, we wish to use our knowledge and intellect in the best manner, especially during conditions of uncertainty and instability, but ANGER – our anger controls our mind and destroys our knowledge and restricts to use it wisely. Anger itself is a vital form of punishment. The most amazing fact about anger is that others can never punish us for our anger rather it’s our own anger which punishes ourselves in the most pitiful manner. Sometimes, even the sympathetic…

When the U.S. media began report­ing on the phe­nom­e­non of “for­est bathing” as a ther­a­py for men­tal and phys­i­cal health, the online commentariat—as it will—mocked the con­cept relent­less­ly as yet anoth­er pre­ten­tious, bour­geois repack­ag­ing of some­thing thor­ough­ly mun­dane. Didn’t we just used to call it “going out­side”? Well, yes, if all “for­est bathing” means is “going out­side,” then it does sound like a grandiose and unnec­es­sary phrase. The term, how­ev­er, is not an Amer­i­can mar­ket­ing inven­tion but a trans­la­tion of the Japan­ese shin­rin-yoku. “Coined by the Japan­ese Min­istry of Agri­cul­ture, Forestry and Fish­eries in 1982,” writes Meeri Kim at The…

How do you feel about rice noodles? I love them drenched in a creamy peanut sauce in the autumn, or slurped from a steamy broth in winter, but I might love rice noodles most in summer when looking for a way to make a light, refreshing meal more satisfying. So my feelings about rice noodles are seasonal. Opposite of a fair-weather friend, it’s an affection that weathers the seasons by adapting. I think any food that versatile deserves our appreciation. In fact, I am gathering research to write a piece in defense of rice, because it is so undervalued as…

Here are four updates from past letter-writers. 1. Should I give professionalism feedback to a “nepo baby” summer intern? Things with Reece last summer got worse, not better. I’d thought he was just rude, but it turns out he was also lazy and incompetent. Any time his project lead would ask him to do anything, he’d say he’d already done it or didn’t have time to. Meanwhile, he slept at his desk or streamed TV. I took the advice of commenter “nnn” any time I was asked about him during his stay — I told others that he seemed unhappy…

I’ve been sitting on this for a while until the situation resolved in my favor, but it was so infuriating that I feel the need to get it out somewhere people won’t identify me. I got laid off about a year ago, which wasn’t surprising because the industry was going down the toilet. Due to some serious process issues in the finance department, I’d been managing the subscription for an online service used by the department I headed and several others, that wasn’t entirely mission critical but made a very large efficiency difference. I was paying for the subscription with…

Scientific inquiry has long been at the heart of societal progress and innovation. Yet today, it faces subtle but profound pressures that are reshaping the questions scientists can ask and the projects they can pursue. Increasingly, funding patterns and institutional dependencies are shifting power away from public institutions and towards actors whose priorities may not align with open intellectual exploration.The era of curiosity-driven research, once protected by tenureship, is increasingly giving way to a system that favours politically safe and commercially viable outcomes, following market pressures, rather than genuine intellectual exploration. A recent investigation by The Guardian illustrates this dynamic…

I recently finished a black and white illustration of Heliamphora macdonaldae, a carnivorous plant from Cerro Duida, a remote 2474 meters high tepui (flat mountain) from Venezuela.

In the aftermath of an intense eclipse season, something is beginning to settle. September 2026 still has the oppositions and the squares. Life goes on, just like any other month: the good days, the bad days, the plot twists. But underneath it all, something is moving in a constructive direction. Neptune and Pluto, the farthest planets in our solar system, make an exact sextile.  The lunations this month are also particularly supportive. And there’s enough planetary movement and planetary ingresses to feel that the story is finally moving forward. But let’s take a look at the most important transits of…

In Ayurveda, the morning is considered a Kapha-dominant time — naturally cool, heavy, slow, and steady. While this brings stability, it can also lead to sluggishness, brain fog, and a lack of motivation if Kapha is excessive. A morning shower helps counter those qualities by stimulating circulation, waking up the senses, and energising both body and mind. It is especially helpful for people who wake up feeling dull, heavy, or slow to start.Benefits of Morning ShowersBoosts circulation and warms muscles.Awakens senses and clears morning heaviness.Stimulates Agni (digestive fire) for a better appetite.Improves focus, alertness, and mental clarity.Reduces grogginess associated with…

Two letters on a similar theme. The first: I’ll be interviewing for new jobs soon, and at this point in my career, flexibility is more important to me than money. For the types of roles I’m interviewing for, it seems like it may be very company/manager-dependent as to whether or not flexibility is there. The things I care about most are being able to sometimes leave a half hour early to take my kid to an extracurricular, or sometimes come in a half hour late if my kid with sensory issues has a tough time getting dressed. How do I…

Whether wielded as shock tactic or part of a considered philosophical stance, mockery and distrust of religion have been baked into punk rock’s DNA from the get-go. The Damned, Crass, the Germs and the Dead Kennedys all proffered early potshots and takedowns, and if Bad Brains received a grudging pass for their Rastafari leanings, in general, songs kowtowing to gods or masters were about as likely to win you scene cred as praise for Reagan, cops or nuclear war.As the 80s ticked into the 90s, however, something curious began to happen: a clutch of bands emerged who were wise to…

Over the last few years, I’ve noticed a change in the way organisations are approaching interviews; increasingly, candidates are being sent interview questions in advance. I think this is a good thing. Interviews are strange. We ask people to demonstrate their ability, experience and potential by putting them into an artificial situation where they have limited time to think, respond and explain. The ability to answer a difficult question immediately, under pressure, does not necessarily tell us whether someone can do the job. For some people, particularly those who experience anxiety around interviews or who process information differently, being put…

This eclipse season feels like the great revealer. When the layers get stripped back, it’s normal to feel tired, uninspired or lost. Whether you’re conscious of it or not, so much of our energy and attention has become outsourced to what’s trending, what’s viral or what can be squeezed into a 3-minute reel. The soul doesn’t work on that frequency. It needs time to absorb, to ponder, to create, to feel and to process. This is what this time in between eclipses, on the back of the “great awakening” of the Barbault Basket, is asking of us. While social media…

MJMedically reviewed by Dr. Minna Jakhar — Written by Editorial Team — Updated on August 16, 2026Choosing between an Ayurvedic pain relief oil and a roll-on comes down to two things: where the pain sits, and how much time you can give it. Use the roll-on when the pain is in one small joint and you need relief without a mess: knee, elbow, neck, wrist, at your desk or in the car. Use the massage oil when you can spend five to ten minutes actually rubbing the area, which suits the lower back, shoulders, thighs and calves. The herbal base…

Apart from being close to last in any alphabetical list of plants, Zygophyllum zilloides is a species you need to travel to Morocco, or thereabouts, to see in the wild. It’s described as a western Saharan endemic, which means the drier parts of Morocco (including what has been separated out until recently as ‘Western Sahara’), Algeria and Mauritania. The genus Zygophyllum (in the family Zygophyllaceae), with more than 100 species, is far more widespread: from the broader Mediterranean region south into much of Africa, east through to northern China and the western side of the Americas. Mostly growing in arid or drier habitats,…

Some creatures make a living by pretending to be something they’re not. (Like Halloween, every day!) In one high-flying example, zone-tailed hawks fool prey down on the ground by mimicking the way turkey vultures fly, and sometimes even disguising themselves by flying among turkey vultures. Turkey vultures are scavengers, which means they eat “carrion,” the decaying flesh of animals that are already dead. When turkey vultures soar overhead, small animals don’t need to run for cover. They often recognize the vultures’ silhouettes and know they’re not in danger. Zone-tailed hawks, on the other hand, are predators. They hunt and kill live prey, including lizards, snakes,…

While listening to the conversation between Purnima Valiathan and Guy Wallace on The LEAD Podcast, I was surprised to hear about the ongoing confusion that’s prevalent among instructional designers in relation to Design Thinking. Which exemplifies why I listen to podcasts – to open my mind to other perspectives and experiences.

And now, in the spirit of “don’t bring me problems, bring…

What is Venus and Juno Retrograde 2025? In the spring of 2025, both Venus and Juno will go retrograde, creating a powerful period of relationship introspection. Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and social connection, influences how we attract and express affection. Juno, the asteroid goddess of commitment, governs long-term relationships, including marriages and business partnerships. When these celestial bodies move in reverse, they urge us to slow down, reassess our connections, and confront underlying patterns in love and commitment. This retrograde period may bring past relationships to mind or even resurface old flames, prompting deep reflection on what we…

Medically, at least five primary medical conditions are directly linked to work, sleep, posture, and mobility. One of them is back pain. According to Ayurveda, back pain happens due to an imbalance in the Vata dosha (energy of movement) combined with depletion or degeneration of Dhatus (bodily tissues).Ayurveda for back pain combines treatments, gentle movement, dietary practices, daily routines, and relaxation techniques. This combination supports overall well-being and manages discomfort.If you are experiencing constant, numb, weak, and acute back pain, you should consult with an Orthopedist at the earliest because Ayurveda is not a compensating treatment for allopathy; it is…

It’s four answers to four questions. Here we go… 1. The construction work in my office is making me sick I work for a company with a mandatory in-office policy. A third party company purchased our building, intending to convert it into residential apartments. Over the last year, the building has transformed from a relatively nondescript office facility to an active construction zone. The entire lobby is torn up, and the ceiling is exposed. Elevators often have issues. Some mornings, only the freight elevator is available. Sections of our office periodically go offline for construction, and the floor will suddenly…

More than fifty years after it was proposed, the search for Dark Matter continues, whether through cosmic surveys or theoretical studies. This mysterious, invisible matter is theorized to account for 85% of the Universe’s mass. While it remains unconfirmed, substantial indirect evidence supports its existence, ranging from the rotational curves of galaxies and Dark Matter Haloes to gravitational lenses. In addition, several candidate particles have been proposed and tested against observational data. These include WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles), primordial black holes (PBHs), axions, and “dark photons.” In theory, this particle was responsible for heating the early Universe and acts…

This set the scene for a morning of flash presentations from researchers involved in pollinator monitoring which then led to some interesting discussion surrounding…

I had once a talk with a college student who sat next to me on a long bus ride. She grew up in a village near Meerut, went to the local Hindi medium school and enjoyed her time in school. But when she went for higher studies, she almost gave up, as English was a big hurdle. Yet after one year struggle, she managed well. She told me that most of her college mates, who had been to English medium schools, had become atheists. Yet she loves her Hindu faith and we had a good conversation about the depth of…

Just as the infamous Turkey Awards, have become a favorite among readers, and vendors who slide into it (and then privately gripe), I hope to name entrants every year, as an award of impressive displays of shame, on behalf of an entire industry. I was going to go Hall of Fame, and then decided it would be of…

 The North and South nodes changed signs July 28th so we are now on a new collective (and personal) trajectory together. 2 powerful eclipses occur this month in Leo and Pisces. The Sun transits through Leo and enters Virgo. Mercury or the planet of communication transits through Cancer, Leo and Virgo. Mars moves from Gemini into Cancer and 3 of the major outer planets are retrograde. Let’s take a look. The North and South Nodes are not planets but mathematical points in the chart. Even though they aren’t planets they are still very significant in astrology as they point to…

Leading Thoughts for September 3, 2026 IDEAS shared have the power to expand perspectives, change thinking, and move lives. Here are two ideas for the curious mind to engage with: I. Jenna Nicholas on hope: “Hope is more than a lofty ideal; it’s a lifesaving force. Ultimately, hope encourages us to think expansively while integrating our vision into our daily actions, both big and small. It also challenges us to remain realistic and grounded. We may never achieve a human utopia on earth, but hope doesn’t require us to remake the world in some sparkly image of perfection. Instead, we…

It’s five answers to five questions. Here we go… 1. My employee is unreliable and bad at her job — but she’s temporary My employee, “Amara,” has been in the company for several months in a two-year secondment. There’s been a lot of relatively small issues over this period, but they have culminated in a complete lack of trust. For example, when she is asked to present her work at external meetings, on the day there will always be an excuse like she isn’t feeling well or has family/personal emergency/health issues. It’s almost like clockwork for many important meetings, and…

There’s something very different about seeing bioluminescence in motion. A photograph can capture the brilliant blue color of glowing plankton, but video reveals what makes this natural phenomenon so fascinating: the light responds to movement. At PyroFarms, we grow and work with PyroDinos® — living marine dinoflagellates (Pyrocystis fusiformis) capable of producing brilliant blue bioluminescence when physically stimulated. Over the years, we’ve experimented with fountains, flowing water, photography, high-speed video, slow motion, and all kinds of unusual ways to visualize this living light. We’ve collected several of our favorite experiments on the PyroFarms YouTube channel, and these videos provide a fascinating…

Dear Friends, I have been doing blogs on Blogger/Blogspot for so long that it seems really strange not to be doing them anymore, but as many of you will have found out, dear Louis – who really is a Saint among men for putting up with me during the full-moon – has done a magnificent all singing all dancing website for us.

These blogs on Blogspot will remain as legacy sites, so…

 Is there any inscriptional evidence for the location of Rāma Setu across India and Sri Lanka?Yes. An important piece of epigraphic evidence comes from the Tiruvālaṅgāḍu copper plates of Rājendra Chola I (11th century CE). While describing the conquest of Laṅkā by his father, Rājarāja Chola I (Arulmoḻivarman), the inscription compares the Chola king’s naval crossing with Rāma’s legendary crossing of the sea. The inscription says that Rāma, Lord of the Raghus, constructed a bridge across the ocean with the help of the valiant Vānaras and, after crossing it, slew the king of Laṅkā (Rāvaṇa). Rājarāja, by contrast, crossed the…

EDITOR’S NOTE: Because enterprise learning involves multiple disciplines and perspectives, we regularly invite experts from other organizations to share their insights. Today, MapleLMS CLO Sam Smith discusses learning as a catalyst for association revenue growth.   Why it Pays to Look Beyond Dues for Revenue Growth For decades, associations relied solely on revenue from membership dues. A dues-based business model made sense because it seemed safe and predictable. But what happens when inflation hits your expenses, staff members need raises, your tech stack needs upgrades, or you need to cover unexpected costs? Suddenly, you have no choice. You may be forced…

There are weeks when astrology describes events, and there are weeks when it describes the process by which we understand them. September 7 through September 13 belongs to the latter. Mercury takes center stage, and the real issue is not simply what gets said, who sends the message, or whether somebody finally answers the email they have been avoiding since last Tuesday. The deeper question is what happens when new information enters the picture and forces us to reconsider a conclusion we had already made. That sounds simple enough until the conclusion in question is one we have defended, explained,…

Reference – Bhaishajya Ratnavali, Udavartanahrogadhikar, Chapter 31 Verse 46-47 ABSTRACT The vitiation of Vata Dosha accompanied by excessive aggravation of Kapha Dosha and vitiation of Medo Dhatu (adipose tissue) results in obstruction of the Mutravaha Srotas (urinary channels), leading to the manifestation of Prameha (urinary and metabolic disorders). This pathological condition, further aggravated by Ama (metabolic toxins) and weakened Agni (digestive and metabolic fire), gives rise to symptoms such as excessive urination (Prabhuta Mutrata), increased turbidity (Avila Mutrata), fatigue (Daurbalya), thirst (Trishna), and debility (Kshaya). According to Ayurveda, such disorders are managed through Rasayana (rejuvenative), Balya (strength-promoting), Medohara (lipid-correcting), and…

A reader writes: I work at a public university and wasn’t actively looking for another position. Another department recently reached out to me about a management position that aligns well with my long-term career goals and encouraged me to apply. I decided it was worth exploring, and I’ve now been invited to interview. I’m conflicted because I don’t see my supervisor as only my boss anymore. Over the past several years, she has become my mentor as well. She has trusted me with increasingly complex work, encouraged my professional growth, given me opportunities to lead projects, and invested a great…

It’s five answers to five questions. Here we go… 1. My coworker was a jerk about my idea, and I’m having trouble getting past it I work in a research lab where everyone owns different projects but everyone also collaborates, shares expertise and advice, and lends a hand on experiments when necessary. About a year ago, I presented my plan for a new project to the group. One teammate, Rupert, was inexplicably a huge jerk about it — about five minutes into my explanation, he interrupted me to tell me the project wouldn’t work and completely derailed the presentation arguing…

Tomas Kalisz 31 Aug 2026 at 4:03 PM : Although I do not know what JCM exactly meant by the “atmospheric flywheel effect” who cares what it means. Fancy moniker proves nothing.

How about you answer the points I was making to that “unnatural surface moisture limitation”?Maybe climate scientist not taking you up on your repeated demands that they explain things to you and/or do the research to substantiate your ideas – have a…

One of the biggest design challenges in learning experiences and presentations is visualizing abstract concepts and data. Concrete subjects often come with obvious imagery: a piece of equipment, a location, a person, or an object. But how do you visualize risk, motivation, economic change, a scientific process, or relationships between ideas? Diagrams, graphs, and charts can make abstract information more concrete and easier to understand. The challenge is choosing a visual form that clearly represents the underlying information. Here are guidelines for turning abstractions into clear visuals. For a  related article on this topic, see Using Graphics to Improve Learning.…

Introduction Kaphaketu Ras is a masterpiece of Ayurvedic formulation, where raw elemental forces are meticulously tamed to restore bodily harmony. At its heart lies Vatsanabha, a potent botanical poison transformed through traditional purification into a swift, life-saving antipyretic and neural sedative that quells systemic inflammation. It operates alongside Borax (Sohaga), an alkaline warrior that thins stubborn, suffocating mucus, and Pippali, whose fiery piperine chemistry kindles the digestive fire while rejuvenating damaged respiratory pathways. To balance this intense heat, Shankha Bhasma introduces cooling, mineral-rich calcium calx, neutralizing excess stomach acids and halting hyper-secretions. Finally, fresh Ginger acts as the bio-enhancing vehicle,…

It’s five answers to five questions. Here we go… 1. My coworker saw me nude in a bathroom stall I bike to work in a very hot, humid climate. I use a handicap stall to change into my work clothes and do a quick baby wipe bath when I arrive. Today, a woman from another department, who I see regularly but have never spoken to, came up to the stall and put her eye up to the door gap to check if it was occupied. I was sitting on the toilet, nude. We made eye contact. She moved to another…

Screenshots from the game highlight how each room explores different aspects of life under Martial Law, capturing scenes that reflect the era’s complex realities. (Photo: Ateneo VAMR Laboratory)For young Filipinos, the Martial Law era — those dark years from 1972 to 1981 that cast a long shadow until 1986 — is not a lived memory but a chapter in the nation’s history often encountered only at a distance. Bridging the gap between knowing and understanding the hard-earned lessons of that era to a new generation of Filipinos is a challenge.This inspired Ateneo de Manila University’s Virtual, Augmented, and Mixed Reality…

Employee engagement is a primary concern for a Head of Learning and Development (L&D). For them, compliance training has to achieve two things simultaneously: meet the organisation’s compliance requirements and deliver a learning experience employees will actually engage with.The challenge is avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach that creates unnecessary training, learner fatigue and low engagement, but still providing the evidence and assurance the organisation needs. A conversation with your Head of L&D needs to be framed with this in mind.

MERCURY IN VIRGO 25 AUGUST 2026MERCURY IN VIRGO  From spicy to dry…..and nit-picky and worrisome come to my mind Mercury in Virgo is very analytical and rather sceptical and could also become quite fastidious, even nagging, in its love of detail. Mercury rules Virgo and it is also the sign where it finds its exaltation. Mercury also rules Gemini, here it collects any information it can lay its hands on, in Virgo however only information that can be useful is searched for and retained to be later used in a creative and practical way. Fortunately, the stay is brief, just…

It’s five answers to five questions. Here we go… 1. My coworker is abusive at home content warning for child abuse I have a growing issue with a coworker from another team. We work in an open-concept office, so everyone can hear everyone else’s conversations and calls. It’s not ideal, but there’s little I can do about the layout. She is rude, abrasive, and difficult to collaborate with on multi-team projects. While that in itself is challenging, I can manage it since we don’t work together constantly. What I cannot overlook, however, is her behavior toward her family. She constantly…
