Any other Legal Managers here? I am new to managing attorneys (have managed admins most of my career) and I have one stubborn attorney who will not let me reassign his work. Normally I'd tell juniors to just push through and get the work done, but the person I am trying to move is part time, doesn't get paid like a true associate, doesn't really need this job and will leave if we overwork them. Any suggestions on having this partner see all this? His mindset is "I say jump you say how high"

I’m have a new theory about why juniors always feel like idiots and wanted to see if anyone else thinks this makes sense. I’m a third year, and am the most junior person all of my teams (generally me, a senior or two, and a partner or two), and I always feel like I’m messing something up. Is this just because I never get to work with other juniors and don’t see the mistakes they make, and that it’s relatively normal? And FWIW I went to HYS and I’ve had a clerkship so it’s not like I’m not smart

OR circulating nurse here. Will preface this by saying I have the utmost respect for CSFAs in the OR setting. However, wondering if any other OR RN’s have had issues with CSFAs feeling and acting like they are in charge of the room or attempt to carry out tasks that you as an RN are supposed to do? I do love having help, but we have one FA who hijacks my tasks and gets upset when i do not do things the way they would and attempts to instruct me on how to do my job

Since we returned to office in October, is it appropriate to give holiday gifts to team members?

Is there a corporate way to bring up to senior leaders that an IC is causing issues across multiple teams because they are demanding and also doesn’t collaborate well? The IC gives vague “direction” then says they are too busy to clarify. They also refuse to use our project management/ collaboration tools.

The head of the floor is sitting right before me. Every day he passes by me.. Not a single word..not even answering to other people's greetings... 100% sure the guy hates my guts - how to change this?

I’m not from an English speaking country but I am watching a tv show and businessmen walk into a room and instead of greeting eachother, everyone says each person’s first name in lieu of hi, however in my experience working in the states, I haven’t seen anyone do this, it’s always hi or good afternoon or some other greeting first THEN they say their first name. is it also appropriate to omit the greeting?

My manager continues to ask me to help other teams and do work on other billable projects. I’m sick of it .. and I’m going to explicitly say that no I can’t do it because my hours are taken by the existing project we are doing. Is this appropriate?

I’m a manager and one of my direct reports makes more than me. It really bothers me. Anyone else been in this situation before? What’s the best way to handle it?

At some points, I feel I am becoming a problem magnet 🧲. Anything I touch or get involved in, tun into a nightmare despite doing my best not to screw up. I was a top performer a few months ago, and now I am a team blocker. I feel it so hard to disappoint people around me whom I respect a lot. Helpless 😞😞😞

What you should do when dealing with a very toxic worker that keep on sending passive aggressive messages to you as well as in group chat and email.
Things like when you answer his question he respond: I know that
Or when he keeps on saying my change requests were just minor in group meeting but actually not.
And keep on saying how hard he works when he clearly wasn’t and already underperformed compared to an intern level.

How to not let this toxic co-worker not poison me any further?

Any thoughts on how do we deal with an incompetent boss who you dont look up to and have no trust that you would ever get credit for the work you would do for him/her? Given that changing the boss is not an option.

Do you tell your boss you’re going through a breakup? I’m phoning it in and obviously going to be camera off for awhile.

Recently joined TCS and hate the project here. Impossible to get a release from the project. I'm okay to quit. How do I break this to my manager?

Attending a company holiday party where they're doing a white elephant gift exchange. I barely know anyone except through emails and IMs given that most of us WFH. Fun but office appropriate gift ideas $30 or under?

Do you think about/picture most of your colleagues in a sexual way, at least a little bit, if they’re relatively attractive? Does this get better as you get more senior (aka you stop doing this)? It’s weird almost like intrusive thoughts. Also weird to me that my managers may be doing the same

Recently joined.. How to know who is our HR..whom to take concerns with..like need to switch project..etc..

How do you tell your boss you're quitting without burning bridges? Please note we're in busy season for the engagements I've been staffed on, which is what makes me nervous and guilty. TIA

I'm moving to the East Coast from L.A. in a few months. Not seeing patients due to covid and using my spare time to plan. Any advice on culture at work, dress codes, etc.?

What is the most unethical/questionably ethical thing that a senior partner asked you to do? How did you handle it? What was the outcome?

Without warning it looks like we'll be switching from consultant teaching to inclusion...what do I need to know. Never co-taught or done inclusion except for years and years ago and it was very informal. Best ways to build a solid relationship with the classroom teacher you're paired with? Pitfalls to watch out for? Thanks!

FAR, what a pain..that’s all

Where does the bulk of your budget come from? Perkins? How do you supplement anything your budget can’t afford?

I am a new joinee to CTS . It's going to be a month now and I haven't received my laptop.

I gave one interview for a project and was selected. They assigned me allocation but haven't reached out to me after that.

I am not sure whom to reach out to for any query and to some people whom reached they don't respond with any answer .

What can I do to get a working project as i don't want to sit idle?

Reading Untamed by Glennon Doyle and I want my own Abby!!! Sigh.....

How common is it for a strategist to have a website/portfolio?

Hi, I am looking to be referred into some top consulting firms. I am a Project Coordinator at Nielsen with 1 YOE. I have applied thru various job portals but the application does not seem to be viewed or going forward. Would be really helpful if my fellow fishes can refer me. I will be happy to discuss further on this and share my CV. Have a good day!

I made a mistake at work yesterday and my boss was being super mean about it. How do I move past this?

Hi Fishes,

Could someone help answer this.
I have a offer from CTS and I'm considering joining here but I've heard a lot of bad remarks regarding bench policy.

Now I'm worried whether i will get a project once I join here or will I get kicked out in 30 days if not.

Tech stack: Mulesoft

This is the first time I'm switching companies so I'm really worried about how life will be if I take the risk and join here.

Hi Fishes, looking for scrum masters opportunity and referral. Please help. Serving notice period.Given two interview got rejected in both with reason -not enough PM knowledge (costing/ project priority within program)

I’m a Mid Market Account Executive , just signed, and my annual TC is $250k , base is $110,000 , $10k signing bonus, $80k in options, and $110,000 variable. Is this right for the market?

Another bull trap

What is the best advice you would give to a junior account manager?

A team of 2 starting a very niche consulting firm want me to join and lead the first engagement. I’m very confident in them & the product/market fit. Do I ask for an ownership stake?

F, 27, any ATLiens in here?
