Dear Lindsey:

Happy Friday to you too and I hope you have fun on your well-deserved night out with friends!

Rachel sounds like an excellent pick to handle what you need handled. Have patience and the result will be an easier life for you and for your kids!

“My manager stated yesterday she was seeing a few mistakes on a certain area of my work… I think my work is really good considering the long list of things our department is struggling with-mostly low staff.  I could keep going on with complaints. Am I being defensive?“- I don’t think so: I understand your frustration. But maybe, as a manager, she figures that it’s her JOB to criticize the employees under her management, that otherwise.. she wouldn’t be doing her job! Her people skills are probably not as good as Rachel’s, not even close.. right?

Lindsey
