...and don't offer hugs to a person who needs a lecture.

Especially if you are their boss.

I can’t always tell, so I try to ask “Do you need me to hear you, hug, you, or help you?”

I wonder what HR would say?

diosatr3s.bsky.social•123 days ago

If you need a hug, don't go to the lecturer lol.

bazlarge.bsky.social•123 days ago

Or vice versa xx

But definitely make sure they're okay with hugging before you give them the no-lecture treatment.
Some of us would 100% prefer the lecture thanks

It doesn’t have to be a physical hug
It’s metaphorical

It’s just giving someone space and comfort not judgment and busy words

Better still, find out what feedback is desired
-hug?
-lecture (problem solving)?
-commiseration?
-letting them rant a bit?
-stuff mouth with chocolate?

Conversely, don't offer a hug to a person who needs a lecture.
