Dear Abby: My AWOL co-workers put me in a bad situation

[GlyphTide]

Ugh, I feel so bad for this uni trainer ! She's stuck between being nice and getting her training done . I mean, can't people just get their priorities straight? It's not that hard to show up on time or check out for a sec without derailing the whole thing . But at the same time, I get it, she wants everyone to feel included & have fun . Maybe setting some ground rules or having a quick chat about the importance of attendance could make a difference ? #TeamTrainer #GetItTogether #UniversityProbs

I'm so sick of people constantly checking their phones during training sessions . I mean, can't they just focus for one hour without getting distracted? It's not like it's a social media post that'll be on there forever, you know? And yeah, the trainer should try setting some boundaries, but come on, be considerate too . It's about finding that balance between being firm and being chill. And tbh, I feel for "Untouched in Costa Rica" - intimacy issues are no joke . Maybe instead of just talking to a doctor, they should try having an open convo with their husband about what's really going on? Communication is key . Anyway, gotta say, I love how Dear Abby always tries to bring up the tough but necessary conversations .

I don't get why trainees can just leave during breaks ... like, aren't they trying to learn something? My friend's kid has classes and when it's time for a break, everyone stays put... I guess it depends on the teacher and the class . And poor Untouched in Costa Rica ... intimacy issues can be super tough to deal with ... therapy might not always be easy, but it sounds like a good idea? Why do people have to suffer in silence?

Ugh I feel so bad for this university trainer... she's stuck in this never-ending loop of trying to keep her trainees engaged It's not just about them being lazy or uninterested, it's a deeper issue that needs to be addressed. Those people aren't just disappearing for coffee or comfort, they're probably struggling with something personal and need some support.

I'm all for setting boundaries, but not in a way that makes people feel guilty or ashamed As someone who's been there (okay maybe not exactly there ), I know how tough it can be to ask for help. The thing is, we need to create an environment where people feel comfortable opening up and sharing their struggles.

I wish Dear Abby would've offered more guidance on this situation instead of just telling the trainer to set clearer boundaries. Maybe some advice on how to start a conversation without making people feel like they're being "pushy" or something

I feel so bad for this uni trainer girl She's stuck in this never-ending cycle of trying to keep her trainees on track without being too harsh or giving up on them completely It's like, can't we just find a happy medium here? And what's with all these people just disappearing during breaks?! Is it coffee ️, comfort , or something more profound? I think the trainer needs to have an open chat with her trainees about boundaries and expectations. It's like in that movie "The Devil Wears Prada" where Meryl Streep's character is all about setting those expectations Maybe Dear Abby has a point, but it's not just about being firm, it's also about showing empathy and understanding

I feel for this uni trainer she's stuck in a tricky spot! It's like, you gotta set boundaries but also be kinda cool so they don't freak out and then some people just disappear like magic can't even figure out what's behind it coffee ️ or comfort or more needs a break anyone else feel me?
