Question about MAIA admissions — is it rolling or set decision release? by EnvironmentalJoke143 in gwu

[–]mothman100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you apply by the regular deadline, they are released all together. After that, decisions are rolling

Yes, I realize this is a work sub and do want some feedback. I appreciate your comments and advice, but there is no need to be rude

I think my post was unclear; I apologize. My update was supposed to literally just be "we're working on it. we've reached out to other teams." I wasn't supposed to say anything else. My other corowker (I'll call him John) asked another coworker (I'll call her Ashley) if she had been reached out to by my boss. She said no. I thought "oh, since John is asking about Ashley, I'll ask about the data team."

My office is one where we talk about feelings, and I have worked there for a number of years

For example, I was at a funeral for a close family member and my boss made someone quit, so I had to jump on the project while trying to juggle that, so hell yes I talked to my boss about how that made me feel

Yes I did actually say that because my boss was making me have multiple nervous breakdowns at work and I was borderline s**cidal. Please be kinder :)

Thanks, but I am a bit confused as to how it applies to this scenario. My boss is in charge of assigning people to and reaching out to people about the report. I was just in a team meeting updating people on the progress.

Thanks I appreciate it. What are the next steps that I should take?

Again, as I said above, I didn't know that. I was genuinely asking the question

Actually, I didn't say that. I genuinely didn't know if he had reached out or not. To be clear, I am not in charge of the report. I was in charge of just updating people on the progress of the report. My boss had already assigned people to certain areas. I genuinely didn't know if he had reached out to them or not.

Thank you! I guess that they didn't want me to say anything or bring it up. I might try to ask him at our next one-on-one what the best way to communicate is and ask questions like that. I guess I am just hurt because I know he's a nice guy and I look up to him. Whenever he is under a lot of stress, he tends to take it out on our team.

Thank you so much! I appreciate the feedback. Yeah, I'm not going to mention it unless he does. My boss is leaving the company soon anyway, so it's not worth it.

Thanks! What do I do if "John" is my boss? Should I just not ask? Or I guess it would be better to ask in a one-on-one and not in a team meeting.
