Aunty B
My workaholic employee has 10 weeks’ leave and won’t take a holiday! Help!
What is wrong with these people – as soon as I get the chance I’m down on the beach sipping a gin.
How can I leave the family farm and start my own life – without offending my parents?
You need to sit down with your traditionalist parents and have a conversation about what you want to do with your future.
Help! My stalker ex-boyfriend has applied for a job where I work!
You have not just a Facebook stalker but a real-life stalker on your hands – make sure your boss is aware.
Should I give our useless intern a reference?
Tell her to put your phone number down as a reference – then tell potential employers the truth.
Should I trade my pay rise for some new computers at work?
Far from seeing your offer in the magnanimous way you intend, your boss will probably feel insulted – so don’t do it!
My employees won’t stop gossiping
You need to tell your gossipers their behaviour is unacceptable – but if you want all your staff to sing Kumbaya, you’re in for a nasty surprise.
Should I stalk my mentor?
Finding the right mentor can be hugely helpful to your career, but there are certain ways to go about doing it.
Am I being persistent or just a pest?
Your enthusiasm is to be commended, but it’s a fine line between persistent and pest.
Home troubles have made this employee unemployable. What do I do about it?
There comes a point when your sympathy and understanding can only extend so far with this person.
How do I overcome my loathing for ‘networking’?
These days, you can do most of your business networking on a smartphone, allowing you to save your efforts for occasions when you can make a real connection.
Is this bullying? Help!
Your boss is a control freak who feels out of control, uncertain, scared of the future and is terrified of making a wrong decision.
Shall I whack the office mole?
You need to realise your marketing manager is bullying you in a nasty, passive aggressive way.
