Hi, I'm Alison Green.

Welcome to the Ask a Manager podcast.

Some of you may know me from my website, aska manager.org, where I answer

daily questions from readers about how to navigate all sorts of sticky situations with coworkers,

managers, and employees. Each week on this show, I'll take calls and talk directly with listeners

about the toughest, most frustrating, or just plain weirdest work predicaments they're facing.

I'll help you figure out what to do and say to handle these situations successfully and get

the outcomes you want. So let's get started. Before I bring on today's guest, I'm excited to let you

whose weekly newsletter delivered to your inbox every Friday curates all the best reads

this Friday, answering questions about self-care and wellness in the workplace. And you can

sign up for it at girls night in club

dot com to check that out also stay tuned for a couple of special announcements right after the
