How to talk about illnesses in the office

Dr. Elizabeth Lombardo joins us once again, this time talking about the sensitive subject of illnesses and chronic conditions at work — from the best ways to support a coworker dealing with one, to how to disclose them to one’s boss. Listener Jessica can’t seem to get along with a coworker who might become her boss, while Nate’s manager isn’t giving him any feedback or making him a priority. And today’s Mind the Gap covers frequent office nightmares like farewell cards, office smalltalk, and Thanksgiving potlucks.

Don’t forget! We’re working on a bunch of special episodes, so if you have a question — any question at all — for either of our hosts, or if you have a NOT safe for work story, don't hesitate to send us an email. You can reach us at [email protected] You can also find us on Twitter — we’re @SafeFor Work — and don't forget to follow our sage hosts on Twitter, too; they're @SSLiz and @RicoGagliano.
