This week, I...called someone out on some bad workplace behaviours and wasn’t murdered for it.

They wanted some work done but we weren’t in a position to help. And so they used a combination of name drops, company strategy, and contractual deadlines to bully me into trying to do it. So I pointed out that their behaviours were unacceptable in the workplace and that if someone made a bad decision at the top people shouldn’t just keep pushing shit down hill hoping everyone would fall into line.

They quickly apologised for their actions and we were able to work together on a solution

We talk a lot about mental health and healthy work life balance in my company so I felt confident that I could nip this one in the bud.
