My Co-Workers Go Around the Table at Lunch and Declare Which of Our Foods Will Make Us Fatter

Some of my co-workers can be very critical regarding body image and what everyone else is eating.

When I work from home, I take my full lunch and feel much better at the end of the day when I’ve had the opportunity to take time away from my laptop.

How can I protect my lunch break when I'm in the office without rocking the boat?.

Doree Shafrir : One of our team members is a talker. How do I give them feedback to help them change their behavior while maintaining that collegial relationship? She suggests setting up a “step up, step back” rule to encourage people to participate more in meetings.

She says it's helpful if you get comfortable with interrupting, especially if it's to stop an interrupter.

Doree Classic Prudie : I live with my best friend (who is a 32-year-old adult) We are both solidly comfortable in terms of funds.

I buy a case of wine a month because it’s actually pretty economical.

Since I started doing this, my roommate has decided it's OK to drink my wine.
