Hi Michael, Thanks for watching. I'll respond to your points below: 1. My accent isn't something I "decided". English was not my first language. I was born in Lesotho (a country in Africa) and did not start speaking English until I was 5 when my mother married an Englishman. I was then taught British English by my stepfather and simultaneously sent to an American International School and was taught American English by American teachers in Ghana and Cambodia. I learned my first words, sentences and pronunciation of English from both cultures at the same time. It's not a conscious switch. After years at American international schools (and attempting to learn English quickly so I could keep up with native speakers), I forgot my native language and lost my African accent and developed a much richer American accent. However, when I moved to England when I was 9, British friends and teachers were very quick to correct my pronunciation and obviously spelling :) I then married an American. I hope this explains the mix. The mix can confuse people and I understand why. Most people have one accent, and there's a reason for that. My family, friends and subscribers that understand find it amusing. 2. Sorry to hear your right-hand man stole store money. Yes, that is her fault and dismissal in this circumstance is appropriate, though I imagine it is sad. 3. Yes, gossip happens in many workplaces. The issue with gossip is not "if gossip is present" but the severity of gossip across the entire workplace. For example, if a company has not handled an issue well (for example redundancy) and professional employees who don't have a history of complaining or gossiping appropriately feel this wasn't handled well, conversations will spread in pockets of groups across the entire organisation. If you look at a company like Glassdoor, companies that handle certain issues poorly upset many employees rather than one or two employees that are otherwise problematic in an organisation. 4. And yes, a toxic situation includes one where despite an individual communicating issues, they aren't addressed. Have a wonderful day

Slow responses aren't always due to lack of interest. It depends who has to sign off on a budget, if any senior members are away etc. Many clients I've worked with have waited a week for an offer and it took a while to get it whilst key team members looked through the budget, discussed every candidate and put together a good package. I'd definitely not assume if they don't respond within 2 days, it's not for you. Not hiring manager has the power to act that swiftly even if they adore you
