So gosh darn annoying. See if you can speak to the client with your co workers around. Go through your coworkers. Right down examples for your performance review. Get allies from Accenture side to speak highly of you. Usually if the village loves you the bully will back down bc frankly you aren’t worth the political fight over as long as you are doing the work

It’s useful to identify the root. If it’s not something you can fix then you have to let it be. You will have rude clients over and over. My best bosses have been women but some of the most annoying to deal with have also been women who had it tough and have Stockholm syndrome and think we should all suffer like them.

Tell me why once I got in the cab I got a drunk call from my manager asking if he could get a cab to my place and if I would give him the address 🤦🏻‍♀️. I'm single and not mad that he finds me attractive, more worried that all my other coworkers heard him calling me while they waited with him!!

I’m dating someone new and it is going very well. He is kind, not high strung, with great values and shares my sense of humor. It is so easy and natural to spend multiple days with him.
Still I am having doubts because I think he isn’t very “intellectual”. To be clear, he’s intelligent! He is a great STEM role that requires an advanced degree. We share a love of reading as well. However he is not really interested in world affairs, does not follow the news closely, does not have a strong grasp
