	Description:		What do you do when your request for professional development seems to annoy your manager? Or when you’re aiming for a bigger role but keep hearing that you’re “too in the weeds”? Or when a team member’s behavior undermines others but you’re not sure whether to call it out because it feels like part of their personality? The Amys offer advice for advocating for yourself without setting off alarm bells, shifting from tactical execution to strategic thinking, and confronting behavior that’s corrosive but hard to pin down. Other listener questions they respond to: How can I push for a more robust and effective feedback and review system at my company? How do I decide which workplace battles are worth fighting? How do I remain professional and confident when my soon-to-depart manager is belittling me? How can I raise gender equity issues in a department that favors male colleagues?
