Our Got a Minute? columnist outlines how last year’s learnings will inform the new working year.

We heard from readers dealing with bosses who bullied them, harassed them or who were aggressive in their emails. We heard about bosses who sent emails at all hours of the night, who talked over team members in meetings, and bosses who didn’t communicate on important issues.

We heard from those who loved working from home and were anxious about returning to the office as well readers who hated working from home and could not get back to the office soon enough.Paying it forward When an older, experienced lawyer found himself redundant from a job he loved, a law firm got in touch to say they were keen to hire him. When a man with English as a second language said he had trouble writing emails, offers of assistance flooded in, including free personal tuition.
