I put my arm around a colleague’s shoulder. Was I being inappropriate?

There are cases where touching at work is entirely acceptable. But if you’re not sure, the best advice is simply to err on the side of caution.

I wrote a stinging letter to an employer who rejected me. Was that wise?

After waiting weeks or months to hear back from a dream role, it’s understandable to want to vent your frustration when you hear nothing back.

I just got my dream job. Should I worry about this one unusual thing?

Any resignation, unless there’s a very particular reason for it, raises questions about an organisation – ones you deserve to have answered.

I told my colleagues their project was terrible. Should I have kept quiet?

There’s something laughable about excitedly asking for someone’s true opinion and then instantly rejecting it.

I don’t trust my company’s HR department. Is my scepticism warranted?

Not all human resources teams are the same, and not every human resources manager automatically sides with management.

A colleague suddenly stopped coming to work. Do we deserve to know why?

To me, this sounds like a personal matter being sensitively handled by your organisation’s decision makers.

My colleagues turned against me in a meeting. Why did this happen?

If an influential colleague is turning your workmates against you, there’s a chance you could be a victim of groupthink.

Why did my workplace agree to an idea we knew would fail?

Rather than dwelling too much on the bad idea itself, it might be better to look at why it was suggested in the first place.

My colleague has been sick for a year. Is it fair to fire them?

Sacking them could bring a specific organisational problem to a close, but it could also be devastating for the person with the illness.
