Let’s just put it right out there: pretty much everybody loves to hate business meetings. I’m on the record in support of meetings if they’re held for the right reasons and are run effectively. So, count me in the minority of people who think (some) meetings are OK. The problem is, we humans can muck things up pretty fast. When it comes to meetings, the list of blunders is endless.

my manager wants twice-a-day reporting on how I’m spending my time, affair is causing a scandal, and more

Ask a Manager

AUGUST 10, 2015

It’s five answers to five questions. Here we go…. 1. My manager is asking me for twice-a-day reporting on how I’m spending my time. My current manager has started making me do a daily “plan of day” and “end of day report” to send to him. have to record in an Excel spreadsheet what I plan to do and what I AM doing every hour and send to him daily. The problem I have, is that there are 6 men in my department and he hasn’t asked them to do anything remotely the same. Is this discrimination? Do you have concerns about my work or my productivity?” Now I don’t think so.

Ok, I don’t know what to do. My boss called me into her office as I was heading home. It was 2 hours past time for me to leave, but I stayed to help her do monthly reports. She had me sit in the chair closest to her in her office and she shut the door. She told me that she is changing my dress code and along with this I need to change my bra to one that is more supportive. I am currently pumping at work because my baby is 9 mo old. only pump one time on the clock but management has been jerks about this from the start. I can’t wear a tight bra, but my bra certainly is supportive.
