Ask vs. Guess Cultures
summary
A clear claim: workplaces suffer friction from Ask vs Guess norms — some people ask directly, others hint and wait for offers — demonstrated with a household litmus test (would you host Taylor) and a marriage example where misread hints cause extra meals. Concrete tactics include phrasing like “it’s okay to say no”, making a guest-culture interpreter, and role-playing requests; one cited outcome: a colleague uses the phrasing to ask for a raise and gets it.
