"DEAR ABBY: A co-worker, "Erin," has been allowed to work from home since the COVID-19 pandemic, while the rest of us came back to the office. We function alongside each other much like a small family. We have no drama, no office politics and an overall great atmosphere. Erin's absence has caused a strain on our team and has fueled resentment."
"It so happens that Erin has accepted a new job and hasn't told our boss because she's worried about how the boss will react. When I found out, I did tell the boss even though Erin told me not to. So now I am caught in the snare of my own little trap of deceit. Advice? -- TANGLED WEB IN NEW MEXICO"
A remote-enabled coworker has continued working from home since the pandemic while others returned to the office, creating resentment and strain within a close-knit team. That coworker accepted a new job without informing management, and a colleague disclosed it to the boss despite being asked to keep it private. The disclosure may be justifiable depending on company benefit structure and employment rules, and could be grounds for termination in some states. Separately, an almost-70-year-old experiences intrusive recollections of past conversations and is advised to redirect thoughts, learn from the past, stay active, and seek therapy if symptoms cause depression or anxiety.
