A toxic co-worker tried to throw me under the bus to cover their mistake in a call with leadership 😢😢. I showed the proof of conversation the next moment without hesitation to everyone. Suddenly their tone changes and tries to divert the topic 😒😒. I am distraught 🙁🙁

But seriously, you kinda have to do this. Bc you put a target on your back. They are working every back channel and relationship under the sun to undermine you. Maybe they need to go take a long nap. I know a nice spot.

Always. Have. Receipts.

That said, be prepared for this person to be extra bitter about this situation and working every angle behind the scenes to stab you in the back further.

This is a rough spot and one I have found myself in before. I have experienced this go badly because I have a tendency to catastrophize my own mistakes so to think I am responsible for someone else’s is unbearable to me. That said I have overreacted thinking people cared more than they actually did and I ended up looking foolish because everyone had forgotten about it anyway. It’s a tough spot to be in. I personally give my managers credit for everything even if it was my idea or I was a major contributor. As an upper level manager I see the accomplishments of my team (even if it appears that I did nothing) as the best indication of how I am performing.

I am a sixth-year associate overseeing a second year. They are an exceptionally good associate. I am honestly shocked at the work product I receive and the way they go above and beyond. The issue I have is that they sometimes take awhile to turn things around. For example, I ask for a draft response to the client, and they take three-four days. I know they’re busy, but I would like to address this in a positive way. Any suggestions?

How would you suggest dealing with a toxic boss? They gossip and seem to purposely be vague about critical information, likely so they can't be held accountable.

Have you ever dealt with a colleague that believes in extremely (in my opinion) outdated or even just false claims and treats them as scientific facts? I work with several older men but one of them practices "provocative therapy" as in you just play the devil's advocate with your patient and side with the negative half of their thinking. In theory I could see this working situationally, but as a whole philosophy regardless of the patient's issue I think it's ridiculous.
