"DEAR HARRIETTE: I had an important presentation to give for my job one that I had to prepare a lot for and was nervous about. Unfortunately, I decided to work from home that day, and my Wi-Fi kept cutting out at the worst moments. I had to leave the meeting and rejoin multiple times, which completely disrupted the presentation and made me look unprofessional in front of a lot of my colleagues."
"A poor Wi-Fi connection is something everyone understands even if it is irritating. Be proactive. Go in and apologize to your boss for the connection issues that compromised your presentation. Offer to avoid such a situation as best as possible by being in-office the next time you give a presentation. DEAR HARRIETTE: I'm struggling with this weird competitive energy between me and one of my classmates. On the surface, we're friendly we study together, share notes, even joke about motivating each other."
