1. \n

   Help! I have a co-worker who can\u2019t get to the point. They keep rambling, throwing in useless jargon, with veiled bragging of their knowledge and accomplishments, and answering questions that weren\u2019t asked; and all in a very monotone voice. My brain starts to zone out now every time they start in to \u201cexplain\u201d something.

   They also somehow survived at the company for 8+ years and have recently become a team lead. Our paths don\u2019t cross every day because we work on separate products, but I am interested in their team\u2019s product and might want to join them in a year or so.

   What do I do?

   Listener Zezima asks,

   \n\n

   Hi! I\u2019ve been at my current job for about a year and a half now. My boss says we should be getting more money and investors and will soon give everyone a raise. I\u2019ve seen many people being hired and others given a raise but have not yet received one myself.\nI recently started applying to other jobs. I don\u2019t want to leave but want to learn my market value and get a slight increase.\nI was demoing some work in a meeting, and sharing my screen to do so. As I went to upload an image\u2026. my RESUME file is open.\nresume,coverletter,resumeadobe,resumeTesla. I mashed the cancel button and bounced in to panic mode but continued like nothing happened. I hear some typing shortly after closing. Did they see it? Are they talking about me\u2026? Do they know I dont want to leave but just want some sort of compensation? These questions are going through my brain and I have no clue what to do. Should I call up the people in the demo and have a heart to heart?
