Send your workplace conundrums to [email protected], including your name and contact information (even if you want it withheld for publication). The Workologist is a guy with well-intentioned opinions, not a professional career adviser. Letters may be edited.
I am a fan of the raw, unvarnished kiss-off letter. Stating your case precisely as you see it, with absolutely no regard for diplomacy, nicety or consequences, can be a genuinely cathartic exercise.

Some managers fear they will anger employees or hurt their feelings if they are too open. Others “worry that the person will go to HR and get into a big kerfuffle,” says Peggy Klaus, a Berkeley, Calif., executive trainer and speaker. When she advised a utility-industry executive last year to give employees more feedback, he told her, “I’d rather have a colonoscopy.”
Tie your request to the boss’s objectives or the company’s mission, if possible. This makes managers more inclined to help. Nearly all want to be seen as consistent in pursuing agreed-upon goals. It also puts your request in a context that is “bigger than both of you,” says Peter Bregman, a New York City leadership coach and author of the book “Four Seconds.” “It’s no longer just about you.”

The mistake: Abhijit Phadnis was rejected for talking too much about team accomplishments and not enough about individual achievements. How he fixed it: Wrote an email asking for another chance. Related his individual work to the job’s demands. Photo: Abhijit Phadnis
Even the most logical do-over requests may fail. A job interview was going well for Greg Zippi until he told the hiring manager travel wasn’t his favorite thing, though he was accustomed to it and entirely willing to do as much travel as needed, says Mr. Zippi, president of DecisionWise, a Springville, Utah, organizational development consulting firm. He soon learned he’d been rejected because the hiring manager “heard me say I didn’t want to travel,” Mr. Zippi says.
It is different to ask a boss or a colleague for a do-over. You might make a case that a second chance will benefit your team or department. A do-over can also be a quick way to recover from a misunderstanding.
Mr. Hellmann urged her to set aside her pride. She apologized to her boss, admitted she shouldn’t have been defensive, repeated his criticisms to ensure that she understood, and asked for a second chance to do a similar presentation. Her boss agreed, and her next performance was a success.
