Dear J.T. & Dale: My company has announced that we have to come into the office three days a week. However, my boss has not come in. She’s been working remotely in spite of all the rest of us having to show up to the office. Nobody has discussed this with her but we’re all pretty upset. Can I say something to her? It doesn’t seem fair. — Bianca
J.T.: I agree, it doesn’t seem fair. More importantly, it seems really odd that the manager isn’t explaining herself. I don’t think I would specifically ask her why she isn’t adhering to the rules, but I do think you could email her and tell her that you’re looking forward to seeing her in person and was wondering when would be the next time she’d be in the office. That way you’re putting a positive spin on your inquiry. That might also prompt her to explain why she hasn’t been coming into the office. But, if she doesn’t give an answer, then I think you just have to accept that at the management level maybe she’s been given different criteria than the rest of you. And always remember, you are an at-will employee, which means if you’re not happy with your situation you can go out and find a different job that suits your needs.
DALE: I’m not one of those conspiracy theory people who is always certain there’s something diabolical lurking behind every odd circumstance, but this situation suggests to me some deeper machinations. This is pure conjecture, but here’s an intriguing scenario: Your boss is unwilling to return to in-office work and let upper management know she’s quitting. Upper management then asks her to keep working remotely while she looks for a new job. If this scenario plays out, then perhaps you can put yourself in a position to advance. There’s no downside, as you should be implementing these career progression strategies anyway: increase visibility by volunteering for teams/initiatives involved in company issues beyond your department; get an executive mentor inside the company; try to get assignments on critical projects; and, all the while, be making an informal study of who gets promoted in the company and how. In other words, change is coming; change first.
Best of career resources
J.T.: It’s time for our review of useful career resources and this time it’s a book that Dale brought to my attention: “Summer Camp Jobs USA: Find Your Job, Get Your Job, Love Your Job” by Michael Pastore. The first surprises are the numbers involved: There are more than 16,000 camps serving 14 million campers, and get this, an estimated 1.5 million staff members. By the way, when I think of summer camp, I think of spending days or weeks at camp, but Pastore reports that 7,000 of the 16,000 summer camps are “day camps,” rather than sleepover ones.
DALE: If you or your favorite teen might want to be one of the 1.5 million staffers, now is the time to apply — this is their hiring season. The book details 10 “classic methods” for a job search along with a “Super-List” of 20 websites and search engines. For instance, there’s a site for the American Camp Association (acacamps.org) which has a jobs center where you can sign up for email alerts when new jobs are posted. But Pastore points out that only about 20% of camps are members of the ACA, so there are plenty of other places to search.
J.T.: I liked how accessible the information is, something that any inexperienced job searcher could really learn from. A teenager following the advice in the book could get experience with a number of job search sites and tools, as well as practical advice on topics like making a first impression and how to prepare for an interview.
DALE: Yes, while much of the book’s advice is specific to summer camps (like the chapter on taking Red Cross classes and other camp relevant training), I kept thinking what a great growth experience the book’s process would be for any young person — it could become an early inflection point in that person’s career.

It’s an exciting time for Kootenai Valley Partners Habitat for Humanity and the recipient of their most recent home building project.
A few weeks ago, Missy Guinard and her kids, Jordan and Chloe Reid, turned the first shovelful of dirt on a small chunk of land on Riverside Avenue in Troy where their home will be built.
It was an emotional time for Missy as she expressed her thanks to the many volunteers, neighbors and local businesses that will help make a home a reality for her and her family.
“We’re so thankful for this,” Guinard said. “I am speechless.”
Habitat for Humanity Board President Eric Dickinson said this will be the 15th home built in the area and the fourth in Troy.
“And our new owners will be part of the crew working to build this home,” Dickinson said. “There is a fair amount of sweat equity each family puts into their homes.”
The loan to help pay for the cost of the home is 0%, making it much more affordable. The hope is to have the foundation poured this month.
Dickinson said volunteers will come from all over to help with the work.
“We get RVers who love to come for a few weeks and help build,” Dickinson said. “There will be six different groups this summer.”
He said the hope is to have the home finished in September.
Part of the celebration was a prayer for all those involved in the project, scripture reading (Matthew 7:24-29) and a hymn, “For the Beauty of the Earth.”
Kootenai Habitat for Humanity also recently learned it received a significant grant.
The American Land Title Association (ALTA) Good Deeds Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization founded by ALTA, the national trade association of the land title insurance industry, announced they have awarded $6,000 to Kootenai Valley Partners Habitat for Humanity in Libby.
Stephanie Dill, Escrow Officer at Flying S Title and Escrow of Montana, Inc. in Libby, nominated the nonprofit to receive the grant.
Kootenai Valley Partners Habitat for Humanity is one of 24 nonprofit organizations across the United States that received a grant this month from the ALTA Good Deeds Foundation.
The Foundation announced the recipients of this year’s first round of biannual grants during ALTA SPRINGBOARD, ALTA’s annual business strategies event.
“When the Foundation Board members notify our recipients of their grant status, we often are met with tears,” said Foundation Board Chair Mary O’Donnell, president and CEO of Westcor Land Title Insurance Co. and past president of ALTA. “Foundation grants can make an enormous difference for these small, charitable organizations. Many community nonprofits are operating on a shoestring and a lot of times a Foundation grant is funding an entire annual budget. It is so inspiring to see local communities develop and grow because of the Foundation’s work.”
“In less than three years since the ALTA Good Deeds Foundation was started, we have provided $712,000 in grants to 121 community nonprofits in 38 states—plus the District of Columbia—across the country,” said ALTA CEO Diane Tomb. “Because of the overwhelming support of ALTA members, the Foundation is able to grow its meaningful work with affordable housing-related organizations and make an impact in so many communities.”
“We are honored to be the recipient of this grant from the ALTA Good Deeds Foundation,” said Eric Dickinson, President of Kootenai Valley Partners Habitat for Humanity. “Our organization will use this grant to help build and finance affordable housing for low-income families in Lincoln County, Montana.”
The ALTA Good Deeds Foundation was launched in 2020 to bolster the charitable efforts of ALTA members. Land title insurance professionals can apply for grants on behalf of recognized 501(c)(3) organizations that they assist financially or through volunteer efforts.
Preference is given to housing-related charities. The inaugural round of grants was announced in March 2021.

A meteorologist for a local station in Los Angeles is speaking out after a horrific on-air incident when she collapsed on the floor in the middle of her forecast.
A video of the incident was posted to Twitter and has been viewed over 1.6 million times.
KCAL co-anchors Nichelle Medina and Rachel Kim announced the weather segment of the show on Saturday and threw it over to meteorologist Alissa Carlson Schwartz with promises of a “sunshine”-filled weather report.
Almost immediately after the camera panned to Schwartz, her eyes could be seen rolling to the back of her head before she lost control of her motor functions and fell on her knees to the ground.
The network automatically cut to a commercial break leaving viewers distraught over what they had just witnessed.

Later that night, KCAL posted an update maintaining that Schwartz was “resting and recovering” and that the meteorologist was “going to be okay.”
Schwartz posted to her own social media pages Sunday, telling followers that she had been released from the hospital and was taking time to sleep and enjoy some pizza.

On Tuesday, Schwartz sat down with Gayle King on CBS Mornings to share more about her story.
“In the morning I felt fine, it wasn’t really up until about 15 minutes prior to the incident that I started to feel a little nausea and at that point, I went to the restroom and thought, ‘OK, I’ll be fine, I’ll get through the hit and I’ll get something to eat,'” Schwartz explained, noting that she was probably dehydrated from drinking too much coffee.
She then revealed that she suffers from vasovagal syncope, a condition in which a person faints after their body reacts extremely to certain triggers, and not a result of a leaky heart valve, which she revealed she had been diagnosed with back in 2014.
“I’m now going to have to learn how to really recognize the symptoms of this condition,” she told King before urging viewers on her Instagram story to “take care of yourself and your health first and foremost.”
Schwartz is currently on a leave of absence from the network.
