This week’s dilemma:
“I like him, but I don’t rate him”
In this minisode, we hear from Kay, who works at a national charity and finds herself caught between personal loyalty and professional doubt. Her boss Rob gave her a shot when she was newly pregnant, supported her through a rocky return from mat leave and has always backed her publicly.
But lately, his mistakes are piling up and Kay’s the one quietly fixing them. She’s starting to worry that staying loyal could damage her career.
We talk about what happens when admiration turns to unease, and how to navigate the messy middle between gratitude and growth.
