updates: work doesn’t interest me, bringing a sippy cup to work, and more
- A collection of updates from past letters at Ask A Manager, including writers who decided not to follow through on a new job over lack of interest, boundary issues with an assistant, a mom who brings her child's sippy cup to work for convenience, and an employee who misses work conversations due to not smoking.
- The writer who decided that a job was not a good fit for them found another position they were excited about. They appreciate their new team’s approach to work-life balance and look for volunteer opportunities that are in line with their interests.
- The writer who had boundary issues with their assistant asked for specific responses to avoid feeling overly managed and now has a more productive and calm work environment.
- The writer who brought their child's sippy cup to work was initially worried, but grateful for the nuanced response, continued to do so, and believes they are contributing to other working moms on their team.
- The writer who missed out on work conversations because they don't smoke has decided to speak to another director rather than discussing the issue with the smoker directly.
