Workplace Dynamics Clarity Check

A short diagnostic to help you make sense of confusing or destabilizing workplace interactions.

What this is

Some workplace situations are hard to evaluate because the problem is never stated directly.

Instead, it shows up as mixed signals.

Shifting expectations.

Feedback that feels off but is hard to explain.

The Workplace Dynamics Clarity Check is a short diagnostic designed to help you assess whether what you’re experiencing is normal friction, poor communication, or a pattern that undermines trust and stability.

You may find this useful if

• Feedback feels inconsistent or arrives after decisions are made

• You are told you are “too sensitive” or “misreading things”

• Expectations seem to change without explanation

• You leave conversations more confused than before

• You are spending energy trying to interpret intent instead of doing the work

What you get

• A way to distinguish developmental feedback from control patterns

• Prompts to assess clarity, consistency, and accountability

• Language to describe what you’re seeing without escalating

• A clearer sense of what is within your control

What this is not

This is not a diagnosis.

It is not about labeling people.

It is not a confrontation guide.

How to use it

Answer the questions based on what is actually happening, not what you hope is happening.

The goal is not certainty.

The goal is enough clarity to decide your next step without self-doubt.
