On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:



  • Your in-laws need financial help to keep their business afloat, but they're historically terrible with finances. Should you bail out your in-laws or even co-sign for a loan knowing it could backfire on you?

  • What are the secrets to writing a reference letter for someone in a way that showcases their attributes from a place of understanding how valuable these attributes really are?

  • Should you suffer in an industry you've grown to hate for another 10-15 years until you can retire, or should you quit the dip now to find a new career in a city where you want to be, with a life that brings happiness over money and status?

  • Should your multinational, publicly traded company pay you for something you've been informally doing for free? You want to be generous and supportive, but not taken advantage of. How do you negotiate this with your higher-ups?

  • As a blind person, you’ve never been really good at understanding small talk and getting people to talk to you. How can you get better at being social when you can’t see facial expressions or body language?
