The office is fraught with uncomfortable situations. Does your colleague clip his nails at his desk? Should you let your [office crush](https://money.com/how-to-keep-an-office-romance-from-destroying-your-career/) know you’re sweet on her? Does your boss ask you a little *too* much about your personal life? What do you do when your colleague takes credit for your work?

You face lots of sticky issues in the workplace, including ones that could affect your performance and pay. We've already tackled questions on [friending your boss on Facebook](https://money.com/why-it-might-be-smart-to-friend-your-boss-on-facebook/), [impressing your manager](https://money.com/impress-boss-manager-from-remote-office/) when you work far from HQ, [applying for an in-house transfer](https://money.com/tell-boss-when-apply-opening-your-company/), and getting a [chatty co-worker](https://money.com/how-to-tell-chatty-coworkers-to-shut-the-up-in-a-nice-way/) to pipe down.

What's your question? Write to us, and we’ll get experts to provide career advice. And maybe your nail-clipping co-worker will read the story and do the right thing.
