Mercy

Dear Colleagues Who Love the ‘Reply All’ Button, Let’s chat. You know that moment when you hit ‘Reply All’ to a company-wide email just to say “Thanks!” or “Noted”? Yeah, about that… While I admire your enthusiasm to keep us all in the loop, my inbox is crying for mercy. Let’s save ‘Reply All’ for … Read more

Cringy

Dear Bosses, Please can you not say, “We are family.” First, we are not. Second, it’s cringy. If you want to get me on your side, take me out for a drink and get to know me better as a friend, instead. xoxoxo, #AuntyHR

The Lite Breakfast with Terry & AuntyHR

Special love to Terry, who was such a lovely host partner, to Breenda the Vegan, who was such a sport promoting us on social media, and to Keith & Nad, the producers who put everything together so we could go live on air seamlessly that beautiful morning and entertain folks. I woke up at 5:00am … Read more

Memories from My Debut Comedy Show

These were my people when I was an employee. They’re also part of the group of people I always carutโ€‚about online (and they’re well aware of it). One used to always cry then stopped. One said ‘thank you’ too much and continued to do so. One I recruited from Instagram and is about to get … Read more

Annual Leave Cancellation Woes

Question: If my leave has already been approved, can my boss cancel my leave and demand that I return to work? Response: Yes, they can. However, it requires your agreement to it. The company cannot penalise you for their poor planning of resources, especially when you have already paid for flight tickets to the Maldives! … Read more

Bonus Woes

Many haveโ€‚asked me about their bonus woes, and here are my responses. Woes: If I tender resignation, will I still be entitled to a bonus payout? Response: From my experience, most likely not. A bonus is not a mandatory wage, so the company can determine the terms and conditions of distributing it unless it’s specified … Read more
