DEAR HARRIETTE: I have a friend who came to stay with me at my home during the workweek. I work remotely. While she was here, she made a lot of random and annoying remarks about my job. She repeatedly pointed out how many meetings I attend and expressed how she would never have a job that requires attending as many meetings as mine does. What makes this situation worse is that she is currently unemployed and has never had a remote job before. I ended up snapping at her and pointing out the fact that she doesn't even have a job, so she doesn't have the footing to criticize someone else's.
