Workplace Lab Podcast- Episode 33 w/ Tim Dahlby: Double-hatting w/o a promo | Abusive relationship & a new job | Office party mishap

1024 683 Workplace Lab

We are back with episode 2 of our fall season. Can you feel the autumnal air yet? I am graciously joined by Tim Dahlby- another HR trusted business partner with more than 20 years of experience at large and small firms. This week we are covering 3 questions from you; first we tackle a question on double hatting without a formal promotion, second we discuss someone who is a domestic violence survivor and has just landed their dream job, but has some questions, and finally we discuss a question from someone who might have had a little too much fun at an office party and it was caught on camera.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Tim mentions that anyone in a troubled home situation fraught with abuse should seek help and advice. For listeners in the US, you can reach the National Domestic Violence Hotline at  1−800−799−7233 or TTY 1−800−787−3224. Their website is https://www.thehotline.org/
