Dear Dr. Mimi:
I don’t want to look like a braggart; however, I’ve been having a problem in getting the recognition I deserve at work. Can you make any suggestions how I could handle this issue?
—Unrecognized

Dear Unrecognized:
Don’t be afraid to speak up and blow your own horn regarding your work. Often, if you don’t inform people of all that you do, they don’t know that you are doing it. If you are working on a project, keep your manager in the loop so that he or she knows your specific contribution to the assignment. Arrange for a one-on-one meeting with your supervisor so that together you can go over what you have been doing, and follow it up with asking if there’s anything you should be doing differently. When you receive praise, accept the praise graciously and add this accolade to your resume.

Dear Dr. Mimi,I have a coworker who keeps talking negatively to me and complains about their personal life. It’s very irritating. I’ve tried to act uninterested and hoped they would take the hint, but they keep talking to me when I am trying to work. What should I do? —Disturbed Dear Disturbed, We all have…

Dear Dr. Mimi,My boss has me mentoring the new hire, even though I am not qualified, nor required, to train them. How do I tell my boss that I am not qualified to teach him? I feel like I’m a babysitter, and I am falling behind on my own work. What do I do? —Babysitter…
