On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:

• Is it wrong to be mad at your recently widowed parent for proposing to a rebound fling just six months after the funeral? You're sick of picking up the slack for your 70-year-old coworker • who chooses not to retire. What should you do?

How do you rebuild your business when your last 10 years has suddenly pulled out from under you? • We might have some advice • .

As a job seeker, when is the right time to disclose that you have regular medical needs • that require creative scheduling?

• We've talked about the wrong reasons to move, but what are some of the right reasons? • When do the pros outweigh the cons?

• How do you shake the feeling of playing second fiddle when you're pretty sure you're the ugly friend in a two-person dynamic? • You seem to be the only one in your neighborhood concerned about environmental apocalypse. How do you lead by example without blowing a gasket? What meaningful gifts can you get for mentors • -- or anyone else for that matter -- who already seem to have everything they need?

• Life Pro Tip: When responding to advice, say "You're right" instead of "I know." • It shows that you're actually listening to someone, that you care about what they say, and give them credit for trying to help.

• Recommendation of the Week: Leaving Neverland • Quick shoutouts to people Jordan met at Podfest and SXSW! • Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us?
