Sample Answer

Dear Simone,

I hope you’re doing well. I recently got your letter and learnt that you’re going through a rough patch at your work, which got me concerned about your situation. However, let me tell you, dear friend, that it is part and parcel of the corporate world.

I can completely get into your shoes and understand what you may be going through, given that I’m in the same domain as you. I went through the same phase when I was given an additional role to analyze the dashboards and prepare an insight report for the collected data as the bandwidth of the organization was short. However, I talked about this to the management, and they understood how this was adversely affecting my functionality.

I’d suggest you have a one-on-one discussion with your manager or the HRBP as the management is prudential enough to take note of what its employees are going through.

Remember, “This too, shall pass.”

Much love,
Lily
