3rd party recruiter who set up my interview with a company has gone MIA. They are not answering emails or call. She sent the invite but we were supposed to have a pre interview thing before the interview. It’s giving me the feeling that A. The CFO is not going to show or B. I have no chance. I told the recruiter that I had previously interviewed with the company like 2 years ago but they hadn’t settled on a WFH policy and I didn’t want to move forward as I wasn’t committed to living in the area.

On a project right now where I am the only senior with 3 staff under me. There is a manager and director but the manager is very uninvolved and the Director is slammed - I’ve essentially been left to run the project. My issue is the 3 staff are completely MIA (Director and Manager knows) - they don’t respond to emails, Teams messages, meeting invites, etc. What would you do in this situation? Cold call them and tell them to work? Call their direct boss?

How do others deal with CDs who constantly leave you hanging? I’m paired semi-frequently with a CD to lead work and they’re often MIA for meetings and client presentations with zero notice beforehand or apology afterwards. It’s rude and obvious that my accounts aren’t a priority for them. And then at the most inconvenient times, they jump in with opinions that are completely at odds with the direction I’ve given. Is there a tactful way to bring this up?

Ex & I split over a yr ago. We were renting an apt & the place had lots of issues that the landlord (LL) didn't repair. I also sustained an injury in the apt due to a repair issue that wasn't fixed. Fast forward to present & I took the LL to court. My ex initially said he would help with the court stuff. We were kicked out of small claims court bc the judge wouldn't separate the broken lease + injury issues. He's gone MIA. Cont'd in comments

I am the “solution architect” on a client engagement that is going totally sideways. We are in serious budget and time issues and the client is mad at us and their executive leadership has gotten involved and my upper management has been grilling our implementation team daily on details. The thing is, it was never really the implementation teams fault, this project was grossly underscoped and the PM has been MIA for most of the project. Management says it’s not our fault but can I get sacked?

Maybe a silly q but - it’s my first year here and I’m wondering if BL ever does early office closes the day before major holidays. At my mid, we’d close at 2 on the Weds before Thanksgiving, for ex.

Not asking who actually has to work hard that day (I know there are assocs. who will have to work 99 hrs that day, and partners who will be MIA all week). Just wondering if there is ever an official ‘closing early’ policy. Is this is childlike fantasy?

Chicago esp., but all insight appreciated!

Am I wrong to be annoyed? Senior associate has been MIA all week and left the team to cover 4 major briefs/court deadlines on his cases (not mine) that he had not started. At first, he was only texting me saying he wasn’t coming in, which made me the middle person between him and the managing partner. I could tell by his texts he was struggling with something mentally, he was letting his personal life interfere with work, and lashing out. I started a MSJ response cont. in comments
