'I feel stupid doing it – it is pretty obvious I am a man and I don’t know why I should have to include it.' This week Dr kirstinferguson tackles the question of pronouns. Send your questions to contactkirstinferguson.com.
Each week, Dr Kirstin Ferguson tackles questions on the workplace, career and leadership in her advice column “
I work in a private allied health practice that mostly sees school-aged kids. My employer has stated that they prefer for leave to be taken during the school holidays because many clients prefer to take a break from sessions during the holidays. Would it be reasonable for a request to take leave during the school term to be declined for no other reason than it not being the school holidays? It seems unreasonable for me to have 40 weeks a year blocked out from taking leave.
It’s time for me to look for a new role. The risk with any new job is that somewhere that looks good from the outside, in reality has a poor management culture, and ends up being somewhere I don’t want to work. If I am offered a position, I would love to ask for “manager references” for the manager to whom I’d be reporting, but I’ve never heard of this being done.
