Summary

Thomas Ryan Lawrence from Q+ Equality is back in the ScapeGOAT studio answering the listeners' questions with more "legal advice from non-professionals non-attorneys"! Thomas helps us write an email to listener Jill's sympathetic supervisor, who just made a bunch of crummy business decisions. Can Jill be totally honest with boss? And the two cohosts are sensing all sorts of trouble coming from listener Ariel's workplace. Could cutting her hours be some sort of retaliation? You've probably heard tell of the gaslighting and manipulating supervisor - but have you heard The Legend of the Sympathetic Supervisor? We'll get into it! Thomas doesn't care for Davi's system while Davi is "physically hurt" by Thomas's new vocal non-warmup we call "Saying Less." You know it's serious when Thomas pulls out the tough love and says, "Your organization failed you." Got workplace questions? Ask our HR Rep, Thomas Ryan Lawrence, and the G.O.A.T.!

0:00.0	It's Davy the scapegoat. We're talking to Thomas Ryan Lawrence from Q-plus Equality,
0:17.7	having such a blast.
0:18.7	Always. We're answering listener questions today. Are you ready? I'm ready. Hey Thomas, my supervisor seems
0:25.4	sympathetic, so can I be honest with them? Here's the email. Please keep this
0:30.6	anonymous as I work for a large hospital.
0:33.4	Recently our directors have engaged a consulting firm to advise them on some policies.
0:38.1	They haven't shared with us the scope of the project, and this has brought about some changes that the staff are extremely unhappy with and we feel our feedback falls on deaf ears. As with many hospitals in the last few years, money is tight and we believe that we could have saved so much
0:54.1	money if upper management had simply talked to us instead of hiring an outside firm.
0:59.7	How do we get people that we have no direct contact with or access to to listen and
1:04.7	understand that they are doing nothing but making our job harder with these new
1:09.4	changes. No matter what the outside firm may say, most of these changes have been for the worse.
1:16.4	And we all feel powerless.
1:18.1	Our supervisors seem sympathetic, and while we're told our feedback is being passed along, either it isn't or
1:25.5	upper management doesn't care because nothing is changing. And that comes from
1:31.0	Jill.
1:32.9	OK, Jill.
1:34.4	This is a challenge because you're
1:37.8	talking about a culture issue.
1:40.5	So someone made the decision to hire an outside firm.
1:44.0	That happens a lot. They are probably spending a boatload of money
1:49.0	on the firm and they're going to implement whatever that consulting firm tells them to do because if they don't,
1:56.6	whoever gave them the budgetary approval to spend all this money on the firm is going to be like,
