Where It Helps
It helps when expectations are unclear, your work is invisible, priorities keep shifting, or your manager struggles to explain your impact.
Where It Cannot Help
It cannot control layoffs, discrimination, abuse, retaliation, illegal behavior, or a manager who has already decided to treat you unfairly.
