So, I’m not experiencing any problems yet, but I’m about to enter a very professionally (and personally!) awkward position at work, and I’d really like your advance on how to handle it. Long story short, my mother is about to become my direct supervisor. For a year. And there’s literally nothing I can do about it. Help??




It's an amazingly good parody of a Missing Reasons letter, and now I need to reread that particular book.
