text: Generic_Name has recently been having issues at work. He used to enjoy his job, but after a new employee was hired, he often feels like he's been in a competition. He has tried to brush it off, but it seems the new employee just isn't a fan of Generic_Name. He walks past Generic_Name and glares, closes unsaved documents out of his computer, dumps out his morning coffee, and sabotages his plans with other workers. Generic_Name has usually been quite calm and collected about this, but the more it happens, the less he seems to be able to contain his frustration. So he decides to ask his coworkers and friends what he should do. Should he directly confront this new employee, speak to the boss, or simply, do nothing? This is a situation that many people in real life have faced. As a result, they often have to ask for the advice of many different people. This is so they can get a gauge of what should be done about their situation, because in a lot of cases, one opinion just isn't enough. Asking for multiple points of view has become like second nature for some people, and others barely do it at all. However, at the end of the day, there are reasons why your option may not be the best option. Asking for multiple opinions is beneficial because it helps you look at different perspectives, figure out what most people think is a good choice, and gets you advice from different types of people.
