My colleague won't stop commenting on everything I eat.

My assistant rolls his eyes at people and meeting.

My manager expects me to work 24-7.

Why does my coworker keep taking credit for all my ideas?

Have any wisdom for me?

Hi, I'm Allison Green.

Welcome to the Ask a Manager podcast.

Some of you may know me from my website, askamanger.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.

This week we have a special guest, and I'm so excited to introduce her.

Jennifer Pippus runs the very popular website, Captain Awkward, which is an advice column that specializes

in helping people set boundaries and assert themselves. She gives amazing advice on romantic relationships,

friendships, families, roommates, co-workers, and much more. I am a huge fan and I'm thrilled

to have her here. Jennifer, welcome to the show. Thank you. It's fun to be here and I'm a huge fan and I'm thrilled to have her here. Jennifer, welcome to the show.

Thank you.

It's fun to be here.

And I'm a big fan of your blog and I'm always sending letter writers to you.

So this is, it's about time that we had a meeting of the mind.
