What this episode’s about:

Marginalized Melissa is feeling pushed out by a new coworker and worried that this tension could cost her a promotion. In this episode, we explore practical strategies for managing workplace conflict, setting boundaries, and protecting your career while staying professional and keeping your growth opportunities on track.

Why listen:

Learn practical strategies for addressing workplace tension, advocating for yourself, and keeping your career on track even when challenges arise.

Key takeaways

  1. Feeling “pushed out” is often a signal of unmet needs, unclear expectations, and mismatched work styles - not necessarily intentional exclusion.
  2. When tension escalates, preparing for focused, respectful conversations with a coworker, manager, or HR can help shift the situation from emotional reactivity to problem-solving.
  3. Examining your assumptions, stress responses, and mindset can reduce anxiety and open up new options for navigating conflict without sacrificing your well-being or career goals.
