If you’re working on any kind of negotiations right now, let the other people take the lead. Things could get tense, and tension is the last thing you need right now. Instead, shift your focus away from talking and just observe. You will learn a lot about how these other people think, which could come in handy the next time there is a disagreement. Sometimes you can learn more about how the game is played by watching from the sidelines.

You might discover a certain coworker has been admiring you from afar. While it’s flattering to feel appreciated, starting a romance at work can be tricky. Weigh the pros and cons before responding.

Your partner needs space, but not in that ominous, relationship-ending way. This time it’s just a weird situation that doesn’t really involve you, so lend support only if they ask you for it.

You are being a bit too informal regarding an agreement. Everything should be in writing when money is involved. Even people with the best of intentions need that kind of documentation. Don’t be afraid to ask for it.
