I don’t have a work husband, although I’m not as opposed to the concept as many people are. But I do have work daddies. My Associate Deans are usually my work daddies, and I’m already on my third one, with the exact same kind of relationship with each of them. I activate protective feelings in them. It’s a good thing because it makes for a great work process.
Many people at my department treat me like their mom, including much older colleagues. I hate it and can’t wait to rehome them to somebody else.
