The raise conversation, written out, with the three answers you will get back
The decision is made in a meeting you are not in. Your job is to arrive before it, in writing, with something your manager can carry.
In Writing
Every post filed under In Writing, newest first. Posts can carry several topics, so they show up on more than one of these pages.
The remote-days proposal, in one page
A proposal that argues for remote work loses. Write the coverage guarantee instead, with an override, a review date and a stated way to end it.
The HR meeting: what to say, what to write down, what to ask for afterwards
HR is not your enemy and not your advocate. The meeting produces a record, and unless you make one too, theirs is the only version that survives.
What to track when your car is the job
Your app's mileage number was built to describe what the platform can see, not to be your record. The driving on either side of it is yours to prove.
Saying no to work that is not yours, in one sentence and then in four
A decline gets overturned because it was too long, not because it was too blunt. Every extra reason you give is one more thing to argue with.
Deactivated: what a platform account closure is, and what an appeal needs
An appeal is not a hearing. It is a request to reopen a file, and it only works if you saved the records while your account still opened.
You broke something: the message to send in the first hour
The first hour is not for fixing it. It is for making sure nobody finds out from a customer, and that is a writing job, not a repair job.
Speaking up about something unsafe, and what to write down
What decides how a hazard gets handled is rarely how bad it is. It is whether a dated written record exists, and who got told in what order.
