In Slate's advice column, a part-time employee raises concerns about a manager who excessively checks her bag compared to other staff. Initially thinking it was due to her being new, she notices it persists despite her increased tenure. This behavior creates discomfort and a sense of mistrust, leading her to consider addressing the issue but fearing it may exacerbate the manager's suspicions. The advice column stresses the importance of communication to alleviate misunderstandings.
It's a normalization of discomfort to deal with someone always scrutinizing your actions, creating a workplace dynamic that can lead to resentment and anxiety.
It's important to communicate openly about feelings of mistrust; having a conversation can help dispel misunderstandings and restore workplace harmony.
