DEAR HARRIETTE: I hate my new supervisor. She’s new to the staff, and it’s clear to everybody that her precedence is asserting dominance and ensuring her voice is heard and her title is thought.

Plot twist: She’s my cousin!

When my cousin requested me to introduce her to the higher-ups at my job for a referral, I used to be elated. She has a stellar résumé, and for some purpose I assumed that meant she had nice rapport within the office. I used to be incorrect. She stunned me in so some ways.

The catch is, nobody at work is aware of that we’re household, simply that I urged her as a prime candidate, so now different staff members complain to me about her misplaced intentions. I really feel awkward being within the center, however I do know they’re not incorrect. She’s actually not a staff participant and doesn’t conceal that she likes to climb the company ladder.

Is it my place to attempt to purpose along with her, or ought to I let her vanity train her a lesson the laborious means?

— Household at Work

DEAR FAMILY AT WORK: Corporations frown upon workers recommending household and even shut buddies for work alternatives, as a result of it creates a battle of curiosity. That’s what you might be experiencing proper now. You have to take cautious steps, as she is your supervisor as properly.

Chances are you’ll wish to pull her apart and ask her how issues are going. Discover out what her ideas are. Then suggest that she step again and see the tradition at your workplace and the way individuals work together.

Inform her you may have observed that some issues she does rub individuals the incorrect means. Inform her what you already know about how the staff capabilities optimally, after which let it go.

DEAR HARRIETTE: I not too long ago took an extended worldwide flight and had an uncomfortable expertise with the individual sitting subsequent to me.

He saved spreading his legs into my area and hogging the shared armrest with no regard for a way cramped I used to be getting.

I attempted to be well mannered, however after a few hours of quietly shifting round and hoping he’d get the trace, I lastly requested him if he might please transfer his leg as a result of it was clearly crossing into my seat space.

As a substitute of apologizing or adjusting, he checked out me and stated, “Well, I’m tall and you’re short, so I should be allowed to take a little more space.”

I used to be shocked. I didn’t wish to escalate issues mid-flight, so I stayed quiet, however I spent the following a number of hours feeling tense and annoyed in my already-tight seat.

Wanting again, I want I had dealt with it otherwise, however I additionally didn’t wish to be labeled as “difficult.”

Ought to I’ve pushed again extra or referred to as a flight attendant over to assist? What’s one of the simplest ways to face up for your self in these awkward, confined areas with out making a scene or placing your self in danger?

— Boundaries

DEAR BOUNDARIES: It’s best to have spoken privately to the flight attendant, first asking should you may very well be moved to a different seat, given this passenger’s habits. If not, the attendant would then communicate to the passenger and ask him to be extra respectful of your area.
