This situation could become very serious, very quickly, writes Dr Kirstin Ferguson.
” This week: an oversharing manager, a bad work uniform and diagnosing an employee with ADHD.Credit:During my annual performance review, my boss told me their mental health was suffering, and that they are on the “verge of a nervous breakdown”. I told them I was very sorry to hear they were unwell, and that I hoped they got better soon. Since then, things have deteriorated. I don’t feel comfortable talking to my boss as they overshare.
This will probably be uncomfortable for you to do but it is in the best interests of your boss and the rest of your team. This information is not something you can ignore. The fact your boss is using their mental health as a reason to chastise you is unacceptable. If your boss’ behaviour continues to get worse, it will only be much harder for you to navigate.
We have a new work uniform which consists of a tight three-quarter sleeve top and a tight elastic black skirt. It is suitable only for women who are thin. I am overweight for various medical reasons and I do not want to wear either, especially the skirt. I have been wearing black pants to work, and the HR manager told me we all have to look the same and to wear the skirt.
