Hey leadership, management, and nonprofit communities! I’m looking for perspectives on mandated staff appreciation days—the kind where everyone is required to attend a full day of activities, meals, and awards. I believe staff appreciation is important, but I think forcing all staff into a one-size-fits-all event might not be the answer—especially when staff are often underpaid and overworked. I think appreciation should be more individualized. When I share this feedback, my manager believes as leaders we need to show up for everyone, and agency feedback suggests staff like these events. However, what I hear directly from some staff is different. I’d love your input! Have you seen research on this? How do you balance staff appreciation with individual needs? Should I just let this debate go and show up and shut up?

I had my first experience with Poshmark and it’s been a nightmare.

I ordered a dress… and instead received a Yeti cooler lmfao. Not even remotely close to what I bought.

It gets worse:

• The seller was immediately removed from the conversation

• Their closet is now basically gone (no listings), but they somehow had 2500+ sales

• It feels extremely sketchy

Now Poshmark is telling me I have to:

• Return the item within 2 business days

• Wait for the seller to confirm they received it

• THEN I might get my refund

I honestly don’t understand why I’m responsible for fixing what is clearly either a scam or major platform failure. Why is the burden on the buyer when I literally got the wrong item? I’m not even going to get the dress! I have no way of messaging the seller…

This feels like a terrible first impression and makes me not want to use the platform again.

Has anyone else dealt with this? Did you actually get your money back?
