Criticism, constructive or otherwise, is something we all deal with. In the workplace it most often comes in the form of a performance review; a tense face-off between supervisor and subordinate that can either spell "raise" or "ruin." New research shows that a majority of employees and employers can't stand them, and on today's HearSay we'll consider alternatives to the dreaded performance review and how you can use them to your advantage in the meantime. We'll also help you wrangle in one of your biggest sources of worry in the workplace: your overflowing email inbox.

WHRO and Colonial Williamsburg welcome Lady Fiona Carnarvon, the eighth and current countess of Highclere Castle, the real-life home to "Downton Abbey."

In the second-half of today's program, we continue the theme of "real-life" stories behind the things we enjoy. They say "every picture has a story," but that saying can also be associated with any objects we possess. What happens when these objects end up in someone else's hands? Will they ever know the "real story?" Perhaps you picked something up at a thrift store or found it hidden in a coat pocket from a yard sale, or even in the glove box of a used car. Have you ever found out the "real story" behind something you now own? Our guests will share stories about their discoveries, and we hope you will, too, as we explore who the "rightful owners" are to the objects we uncover. Join us!
